I grew up watching talented people around me settle for far less than they were capable of, not because they lacked ability, but because nobody ever showed them a real path forward. That memory has never left me, and it shaped almost every decision I have made since.
Building 7FDCOF was never just a business decision. It was my answer to a problem I watched play out around me for years, talented Nigerians with no real access to mentorship, no community built specifically for where they were starting from.
Nigeria remains the largest single market inside 7FDCOF today, and that is not an accident, it reflects a country full of people ready to build the moment someone hands them a real starting point instead of another course they will never finish.
This is exactly why reaching out to the Presidency matters to me personally, not as an outsider requesting attention, but as a Nigerian who left to build something, and is now asking to bring that work back home in a real, formal way.
I did not build this from inside a government office, and I never expected to. I built it because I refused to accept that talent alone was ever going to be enough without real support behind it, and I still believe Nigeria’s youth deserve exactly that.
