Excerpts:
“You see that fear that you’d never be able to stand up for yourself? It lingered till you were twenty-two. then one day you woke up and threw off that shackle. You are free now. you know what you stand for and no one can bully you anymore…”
– Eketi Edima Ette

“You will be good at a couple of things, explore while you’re young but choose a niche as soon as you can and grow some roots in it…”
– Tunji Ogunoye

“When we set seemingly unrealistic goals for ourselves, the worst we will get is something a little short of amazing by our standards, but to the rest of the world will still be darn fantastic. There is no such thing as over-ambition…”
– Oluwaseun Ayansola

”People say, “Find one thing and focus on it” but I’ll say be fluid like water. What drives and excites you today might not tomorrow and that is okay, feel free to follow the thing that drives your curiosity about the world around you…”
-Joke Adekunle

“Take the road less travelled. Be your own individual…”
– Yinka Adewale
