@PrikkleAcademy Many thanks for the invitation to share. It's a great privilege.

@PrikkleAcademy #AskOurChampion A. Identify what God wants you to do with your life, and soak yourself into it. With Him on your side, nothing will be impossible for you.

[Timi Onafeso @TimiOnafeso]

@PrikkleAcademy #AskOurChampion the solution to what we face on the outside is right there within/inside us. Once the battle is won on the inside, everything on the outside will bow to the victory within.

@PrikkleAcademy #AskOurChampion Do not stop trying until you win. It doesn't matter who is behind the door, keep knocking, when your noise becomes unbearable they might just open the door for you. Nothing now, can stop me from being all that God wants me to be.

@PrikkleAcademy #AskOurChampion of there is anything I have learnt from this lockdown and I'm willing to hold on to in the future is majorly "never to give up".

@PrikkleAcademy #AskOurChampion before now, I didn't have such courage to send that kind of email, but I sent it anyway, the worst they would ignore it. But they didn't. To my surprise I received another email of selection few days to the commencement of the program.

@PrikkleAcademy #AskOurChampion Instead of accepting the rejection, I decided to write the school and expressed my unhappiness for being not selected based on age. As we all know age is not supposed to be used against anyone especially from learning.

[Timi Onafeso @TimiOnafeso]

@PrikkleAcademy #AskOurChampion So I kind of stopped in the 3 years, and since I've decided to Spring again, I applied for a professional program in a prestigious business school, but I was rejected based on age. I am few months above the age limit for the application

[Timi Onafeso @TimiOnafeso]

@PrikkleAcademy #AskOurChampion Okay so let me share this experience with everyone. Before the last 3 years of my life, I'd been actively involved in global learning. I constantly improve my skills and knowledge for personal and professional purposes.

[Timi Onafeso @TimiOnafeso]

@PrikkleAcademy #AskOurChampion In sharing my stories with people, I am finding myself again and most importantly I'm being a blessing to many. What more is life? If not to be a blessing to humanity by unleashing the potentials that God has put in us all.

[Timi Onafeso @TimiOnafeso]

@PrikkleAcademy #AskOurChampion Between February and now, I've been interviewed on major social media platforms to share my stories - Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and now Twitter, all because I decided to revisit my dreams and reasons for existence.

[Timi Onafeso @TimiOnafeso]

@PrikkleAcademy #AskOurChampion Also I'm glad to be a part of a moving vehicle impacting lives in rural communities across Africa.

[Timi Onafeso @TimiOnafeso]

@PrikkleAcademy #AskOurChampion Prikkle Academy gave me a leap in my career - I got my first appointment as a board member of an organization with Prikkle Academy. This has opened so many doors of opportunities for me in my career development.

[Timi Onafeso @TimiOnafeso]

@PrikkleAcademy #AskOurChampion I enjoy impacting lives across different cultures, because I believe our strengths lie in our differences. I'm at my best when I'm with vulnerable children, because unlike the society, I see values in their vulnerability.
