Ain’t gonna lie, I have not had it smoothly but probably fairly easier than some people. I  often wanted the unconventional things and this #10yearschallenge brought back a lot of good memories however not without some foolish and painful experiences too. In all, God has been on my side but I have also been incredibly naughty. What do you expect from this restless guy who wants to die empty?

From first quitting a paying job in Ikeja (Landover Aviation) to going from Ipaja to Lekki to volunteer for a cause I believe in. (Lekki phase 1 and then to Chevron) Volunteer means no pay but learnt some of the intricacies of a non-profit. Then I got bored of the non-profit business and wanted to work with an aggressive business man( O’la-Kleen Holdings: owners of Vault & Gardens Private Cemetery and PROFORCE Limited. PROFORCE Limited is arguably the number 1 vehicle armoury business in all of the emerging economies of the world), there I learnt how to write a business plan and Proposals and how to be self motivated (thanks to Ola Tunji Agbaje and Ade Ogundeyin) And I got bored of the modus operandi of a one man business and wanted something with more clout and pedigree. Something beyond just business expansion and I joined KPMG Nigeria, working with: I like to think some of the smartest folks and beyond that, this opportunity gave me access to the leadership of a global firm. And to be honest it offered more than the pay cheque (thanks to everyone I worked with in that “firm”: the list is endless) despite we wanted more. The KPMG experience will be an entire chapter on its own. Oh I guess I ran ahead of myself, yes I went into fashion business as a volunteer ( I guess that cushioned the volunteering deal a bit) and like the restless me but not exactly before I am perceived as one who can’t stay in one place, after 5years, I should find another challenge, I took a dive back into a one man business but hell no, I had gotten used to a well structured business and with marriage and kids comes the requirement for stability so after three months, back to KPMG I came but it won’t be for long.
Irritated by the likes of Dino Melaye and many people in Government, I wanted to explore the North American continent, have a close feel of the North pole and following the required due process, I disrupted everything again. Got my young family together in an Airbus and Calgary Alberta here we came. Let me be honest, self-disruption or change is not an easy thing but what is my alternative? A life void of creating the experience I want? Truth be told, we all want different things but one thing I know I want is a wealth of experience and when I look back over the last 10years, I might have had many despondent times and I have had very low moments (typical of restless people) and I can boldly say the author of my Christian faith and not my Christian faith(which many times fail) has been the anchor of my soul. I am looking forward to the next unconventional move. in my 40s 50s 60s and 70s like I look at my twenties, yes with some “could have done this better moments” but ultimately, I want to sit back with my most adorable Seun Smith Olatunji and smile at my 30s.
