\u201cWhile in school, I was the kind of student that cannot even afford a N500 book for myself, talkless of clothing and feeding myself. In fact, I spent 4 years in the University, and my parents didn\u2019t know where I slept or how I slept throughout those years. After those 4 years, I had a little problem with graduating because of the challenges I face with funds. At a certain point, I couldn\u2019t even count two trousers in my dresser.<\/p>\n

By God\u2019s Grace, I was able to overcome all those challenges, and here I am now, able to fend for myself. I believe that the only thing you need to do as a human being is to have a plan for yourself and be determined to reach your target. Always have it in the back of your mind where you\u2019re coming from.<\/p>\n

I knew where I came from, and that it is not that my parents had but refused to give, rather, they did not have, and I appreciated the little that they had and gave. I knew I had a personal obligation to overcome those challenges. Most importantly, God was faithful, and when I thought that all hope was lost, God just made a way. Now, I am comfortable, I can feed and clothe myself, and I can even give a helping hand to someone who for instance needs a trouser or two.<\/p>\n

I advise the youth not to see the challenges as obstacles, but they should see them as stepping stones to where they want to be.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
