Removing barriers to education for young Nigerians|350+UTME forms donated| 80% admission rate| Oriade LGA, Osun State| Founded 2024| Building futures at a time.
The Ogbeni Olajide Awe Foundation was born on one belief: Financial poverty should never determine intellectual destiny. In 2024, 100 UTME forms were donated. 80% now in higher institutions. In 2025, 250 UTME forms were donated at our official launch in Oriade, Osun State.
Congratulations to the first cohort of the Arise Academy as they began their training session today!
Some words of encouragement from Ogbeni Olajide Awe to the participants are captured in this video. Some of the key points are highlighted below:
“Enterprises don’t begin with capital; they begin with value creation.
Also, income is a natural consequence of the value one provides.
Notably, value creation is essentially about identifying a problem and providing a solution to it.”
Four of these negative attitudes are emphasized in this video, but we know there are more. Which other attitudes do you think can fuel the destruction of opportunities?
We are in the comments section awaiting your responses.
Ogbeni Olajide Awe pointed out in this video that talent alone doesn’t keep one going. Coupled with talent should be the right attitude to work.
Negative attitudes, when they slowly accumulate, can truncate the opportunities that talent brings.
What do you think about JAMB’s Exceptional Candidate process?
Do you think the criteria are too stringent, or are they good enough to ensure that only students who are truly ready for university are considered?
Is this the right approach, or should there be a more flexible one?
The future you want does not happen by waiting for it.
It takes learning, effort, and the courage to keep moving, even when the road ahead is still unclear.
Keep learning. Keep growing. Keep moving toward the future you deserve.

The next chapter of your life will ask for a version of you that you haven’t built yet.
So, while the current chair still holds you, learn. Save. Apply. Prepare.
When it’s time to move, let it be a move you planned for, not one you were forced into.

Skill is not discovered, it is built one careful repetition at a time.
Whether your hands are shaping fabric, wiring a solar panel, mixing a treatment, or packaging produce, your craft improves through repetition, not through hoping.
Every session you show up to is another layer of skill added to the last, even on days when the progress feels invisible.
The tailors, technicians, and processors who become known for quality are simply the ones who practiced longest.
