Hear his words of advice~ on marble for you Today √


" The road to success has alot to do with instict. So you must follow your instincts


" I believe that the most crucial skill to becoming successful is the ability to listen to your guts. During my university days, I  developed a curiosity for computers and wanted to study computer science, but my  college advisor conceived him to study Business Management and Administration. 

'I   had the gut instinct that this technology was the key to the future of all business, so I  always snuck into the university's computer rooms to learn whenever I had the chance. Years later, when setting up my  business, even though there was no internet in Nigeria, I prioritised incorporating digital technology and internet capacity. 





 "What determines whether a great idea can ever come to fruition is the initial will to act on instincts. When instincts is successfully followed, confidence and self-esteem grow exponentially, so never toy with your gut instinct"
