I had no business being in America. I was a street hawker in Badagry from a relatively poor family. Without that lottery win, I’ll probably still be roaming Badagry, Okoko, and Ojo as a hawker. I commend those who succeed in Nigeria, in America success is a bit easier.

I don’t talk about my progression enough. From a cleaner who cleans up vomits on the staircase, and pickup trash in the parking lot in freezing temperatures whilst earning $8.25/hr to a senior role at a fortune 50 company on a six figure pay in less than 4 years. That’s mad.

She’d insert “Jesus” in everything. If I told her I drove home, she’d say no, Jesus did. I passed a cert, no, Jesus did. She’d send me prayers at 5 am in the morning to recite. I swear she made me hate Jesus for like a month, cos I thought he was stealing my shine.

Most people don’t understand the economics of discipline. Poor people have very little room for accommodating risk, and an ill-disciplined kid is one of those risks. There’s a reason why beating kids is predominantly in developing countries.
