The Origin Story of Opay: The Birth, Struggles and Success…

I was speaking to someone on Thursday and I was explaining the concept of discipline. One of its key traits is the ability to ignore your emotions and feelings, and instead, stick to the plan. This is because you are confident that the plan will work and you have the capacity to see it through. So, your feelings are very temporary.

I got the list of Ambassador's College medalists at the just concluded International STEM Olympiad.
Gold medals (Maths)
1. Daniel Abara
2. Taiwo Demilade
3. David Ufondu
4. Chidalu Emeka-Okoye
5. Idu Seth

Gold Medals (Science)
1. Teniayo Alade
2. Daniel Abara
3. Treasures Olawunmi Jephtah
4. Chidalu Emeka-Okoye
5. Daniel Afolabi

Among several other gold, silver and bronze medal winners in science, coding, math, bridge, and several honorable mentions.

The entire country has plenty of reasons to be proud, not just one section of it.

But at the end of the day. The three South East Olympiad winners hit specially because they were the only ones that went there from the personal funds of one man to represent the region.

Next year's winners of South East Math Olympiad, I hope you're ready.

Let me share what I have done in the past as a PmP mapped into the 5 steps from @DrOlaBrown's article.

Quick background so you understand where I'm coming from. During my YCT days, I used to work in some plastic factory hence the reason for my hard palm 😀😅. I also had to borrowed money to pay my first UNILAG school fees. I was visibly pako😀

disclaimer: Me, I’m not trying to be as rich as Dangote or Otedola 😅. far from it.
In fact, I’ve said before that once I hit my personal target of about $2m liquid assets, I’ll probably disappear to Igbotako for community development work and a quieter life.

Also, I am not rich yet. but we thank God

Now, lets see how the steps in the article fit into what I have done ... of course there are other things and steps that help

Step 1: Get into a good university.
I didn't stop at polytechnic. Even at YCT during my ND, I pushed for UNILAG. Finished with First Class in Accounting. BGS in both the department and faculty for both institutions. Over 20 academic awards.

I knew early that my CV has to scream for me given that no one could make the calls for me.

At my Sahara 2016 GMT programme final interview, they projected my CV to the chairman and other board members present at that interview - ND Distinction, First Class, BGS twice, ICAN, ACCA, 20+ awards.

The Chairman and the entire board couldn't even ask me a question. He just said: "Do you have any life? Did you have fun in school?" I can see how impressed and couldnt just say know...I knew I already got the job.

Step 2: Work in financial services.
I moved into consulting, focused on financial services and a very niche complex area (actuarial and quant). And I don't just deliver on client engagements. I want them to see the difference.
Two of the biggest insurance companies CEO in Nigeria wrote to Partner about how exceptional I was on a projects..That actually added more case to a back to back double promotion

I have slept in the office because of client deliverables. not once, not twice as a Senior and as a Manager.
There is no substitute for hard work. I keep telling younger ones this. You cannot shortcut excellence when you don't have connections backing you up.

Step 3: Realise it will take longer.
I play the long game. One reason I stayed back in Nigeria is because I can see the massive opportunities ahead in the space I work in.
The difference in my earnings over the last decade vs now is significant and it's still very far from what's possible.

Today I told some LASU students if they could imagine that some folks earn ₦30m+ per month in this Lagos?
The good thing about the path I chose is that seeing those numbers ahead is always comforting. The ceiling is high. You just have to be patient enough to climb.

Step 4: Grow your network.
Naturally, I am a very shy person. Extremely introverted. But in the last 5 years, I've pushed myself to connect with clients, colleagues, and people outside my comfort zone.
We've won engagements just because of a presentation I did for some years ago.

I make myself available for some pro bono work. My last IFRS 9 video took over 12 hours to produce, even though you all see 4 hours of content.
Some clients call me outside work hours. I focus on how to make them look good with their boss too. Networking is really just giving.

Step 5: Be aggressive about self development.
This is the biggest one for me.
ACCA. ACA. CFA. FRM. SCR. And now actuarial exams IFOA and SOA. Passed 14 papers across both in 3 years. Also failed 10 papers in that same period.
Failing is part of it lol. I'm quite aggressive.

Last December, I was in the office from Dec 26 to 4AM on January 1st writing a 96hour SOA assessment. I actually spent over 80 hours on it.
That means I literally started the new year in the office.
Extreme? Yes. I don't encourage anyone to do that. But that's what it took.

Working your way out of poverty comes with massive tradeoffs. And it's perfectly rational to decide not to do it that way. But if you choose this path, know that momentum compounds.
The early years are the hardest. The loneliest. But every exam, every late night, every relationship you build, it stacks up.

May be when I buy my AMG G 63😎, I will come back and confirm that yes it's possible. for now lets keep trusting the process.

I'm not even rich yet. But I'm always thankful for how far I've come. Grateful for everyone that has been part of my joinery...friends, family, colleagues , scholarships companies, bosses etc

TBT to my 2020 birthday...one clown had to remind me how I be pako for undergrate

I’d like to give a special shoutout to @savvynigerian, a talented young Nigerian who created a beautiful tribute to the IBTC/@StanbicIBTC story without being commissioned by anyone.

This video was brought to my attention by young people who saw it circulating on social media. It is amazing to see how our youth are now creatively using tools like AI to tell stories based on publicly accessible information only.

I doff my hat to you.

Dear @bosuntijani

My name is Daniel, co-founder at @cencori.

I saw the news about Nigeria’s cybersecurity council. Great idea.

We built a software that makes AI safe between platforms and their users. That’s our entire focus.

AI is going to be at the center of every cybersecurity conversation Nigeria has going forward. We know this space and we’re already building in it.

We’d love to be in that room.

How do we make that happen?
