In his words:

“I am studying at the Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex in Brighton, United Kingdom.

“That critical story is a great motivation for me. I usually tell people that if I get to write a book in my mind, it would occupy a copious space.

“I was in Nigeria when I was given admission at the Institute of Development Studies. Meanwhile, I chose that school strategically because it is the best in my field all over the world.

“After given an offer, I just saw an application for positions in the student Union and at that time, I have not even made my Visa application. It was almost late.

“Low and behold, i put in for the position of Postgraduate Taught Officer, wherein you are representing over 5,000 students all over the world in almost 150 countries of the world.

“And I contested against six (6) whites. I was surprised that I won. The student Union is made up of about 57 members (Executive members, Union Council and all of that).

“The executive committee of the body is actually the decision-making body of the Union. I am the only African in that committee.

“Attending meetings and taking decisions on behalf of over 25,000 students in a white-dominated country.

“I feel proud because it is a great motivation for me because I ran for an election in foreign country while still in Nigeria and I won. That is a great motivation for me.

“Every country needs to feed its young ones with confidence that they can succeed if they try.” He said
