The statement above might seem as easy as it is. Yet, Al-hamdulilah, I am grateful for it.
I Musa Lukman Ayomide, a guy who hawked from primary school, to junior secondary school. It continued down to my senior secondary school.
And whilst l was preparing for Jamb the hustle was still on since I’ve no other option. I got small relief when I worked as a class teacher in Kajola Nursery and Primary School (KNPS) after my secondary school days and I stylishly hawked for my mother after work hours.
Imagine all these humiliating life struggles l went through, I am still not ashamed to say them. Why? Because the story is still mine.
I’m in not going to why away from my reality.
Sounds strange right? This is one of the reasons I smile a lot. Only a few people know of it already, but let’s keep it short. Similarly, this is one of the reasons I said, I have a pen to rewrite this story for good one day.
The above made me remember when I was in secondary school, then, I began to have a sense of belonging to myself, I purposely don’t engage in conversations with my classmates, because I know a few of them will refer back to me as a hawker with pride in them. Like, Musa, I saw you yesterday while hawking (kiri-ing, for the Yorubas) fruits. Is the “kiri-ing” for me. Just imagine how sucky that would have been then.
Though, then I did not take it as an offense, I just took it as a route I have to go through. Here is me today, bagging a First Class Honours degree in the Accounting department from the prestigious Federal University Oye Ekiti, despite all the struggles. This is an evidence that, you can reach that milestone you wished for.
This great feat wouldn’t have been made possible if not for Allah (Subhanahu Wa’ Taahala)
I am Musa Lukumon Ayomide.
I am Determined Process.
I have a background that is my motivation.
I am a good reference.
I have a story that will inspire you.
With regards,
