I grew up in a mud house with my grandparents in Igando, Lagos. We later moved into a ‘face me I face you’ house in Ikotun. Squatted with friends for 7 years and later got a one-bedroom apartment.
I used to walk to the studio because I was so broke and couldn’t afford transportation.
Ayoola Ayoola saw me walking to the studio one night at Opebi and gave me a ride. I always had a smile on my face so many didn’t know what I was going through. One day I will tell my full story and show the world the exact locations of my journey.
I woke up this morning thinking about my journey and I’m grateful for where I am today with my beautiful wife.
Sharing this to encourage and inspire anyone out there going through life. Stay strong, work smart, pray, be kind and never give up.
