An abroad-based Igbo guy sheds light on his decision to block all his secondary school friends on social media.
The entrepreneur, Identified as Austin Uche Okolo, recounted why he had to block all his secondary school friends on social media after one of his current friends asked him if he still kept in touch with anyone from that time.
Recalling the reason behind his action, Okolo revealed that when he launched his first venture at 18, a clothing brand named ‘Born To Stand Out,’ many of his peers ridiculed him on social media.
Despite his brand’s subsequent success and global recognition, the hurtful remarks from his past remained vivid. Rather than seeking revenge, he chose to distance himself from negativity by blocking those individuals.
Okolo encouraged others to do the same and focus on pursuing their aspirations in a world filled with insecurities.
According to him, one’s dreams and aspirations are incredibly personal and fragile, especially when one starts to chase them which is why it is vital to protect and comfort them like a newborn baby.
