Entrepreneur Business Strategist Systems Builder

This is where I document my journey as an entrepreneur, sharing real stories from the businesses I’ve built, the lessons I’ve learned, and the strategies that continue to shape my path.

Whether you're looking to start your own business or grow an existing one, this blog is designed to offer practical insights you can apply to your personal and professional life.

I was born and raised in Nigeria. My entrepreneurial path began just after university, when I noticed people collecting plastic bottles behind my student hostel. That simple observation sparked the idea for Verde Impacto, my first venture, launched with just ₦500,000 ($500). Since then, I’ve built companies across recycling, fintech, lending, and real estate, each shaped by curiosity, persistence, and purpose.

Here, I share everything, the lessons, failures, milestones, and strategies—so you can learn from my journey and apply it to your own.

Nigeria is currently facing historic inflation rates, with food prices soaring to unprecedented levels. This economic pressure has pushed countless families into food poverty, making it difficult for them to afford even basic meals. Witnessing this growing crisis in my community, I was compelled to act.

I began setting aside a portion of my personal income to fund a food bank project. My vision was simple: to create a reliable source of support for families struggling to put food on the table, and to contribute to building stronger, healthier communities.

Our Achievements and Impact

Since launching the initiative, our impact has been significant and measurable:

2,500+ Families Fed: We have provided nutritious food to over 2,500 families across three cities, ensuring that children and adults alike have access to essential meals.
Operational Food Bank Established: We have set up one fully operational food bank, serving as a central hub for food distribution and community support.
Bi-Weekly Distributions: Every two weeks, we organize food distribution events in multiple locations across Lagos, reaching those most in need.
Exceptional Team Effort: None of this would be possible without the dedication and professionalism of the Feed a Family team. Their commitment to respectful and efficient service delivery has been instrumental in our success.
