Chukwudi Iwuchukwu, a Facebook influencer on Friday met with Nigerian economist, philanthropist, and chairman of Heirs Holdings, Transcorp, and United Bank for Africa, Tony Elumelu.
He wrote after meeting the billionaire business mogul.
1) I applied for the role of social media manager at Heir Holdings, a family business that belongs to Tony Elumelu, in 2013.
I was fresh out of Nigerian law school and was desperately looking for what to do to keep body and soul together.
2) I was invited for an interview at their head office in Ikoyi , but unfortunately I did not scale through after the interview.
That failure pain me die.
3) At that time, I was in the lowest period of my life.
I was fresh out of Nigerian law school, broke, and desperately looking for anything to do to keep my body and soul together.
4) Eleven years later, in the same building where I failed the interview in 2013, I met the founder of the business.
This time, I did not come for another round of interviews.
I came at Oga’s invitation.
5) Life comes in full circle.
If you like, give up, but na who give up lose last last.
