Someone cannot have his money when he needs it.
What's the whole essence of having a bank account?

“If we understand that we need that, the desire, we can build something important”.
Last jamb was a disaster for my village youngsters. Over 70% of them failed jamb and the rest sparely passed. Rather than waiting for the government, we decided to take a different approach. We took the challenge upon ourselves for it not to repeat itself again. Every youngster in my village right now is on an intensive morning and evening drilling for next years Jamb and they undertake CBT once monthly with large pool of 16 years past questions across different subjects. In the CBT we track their performances on different topics and lays more emphasis on their weaknesses across different subject topics. One common thing we noticed is that many of the youngsters are alien to computers and can't even use a mouse nor keyboards. How were they planning to succeed in jamb when they could had probably be using a computer for the first time on Jamb day?
It's an eye opener and our mission is for all of them to score above 250. We will be paying for all their jamb exam fees and are also offering full scholarship to everyone that scores 300 and above.
For the record, I have no regrets about any of my choices. I don't regret choosing this career, no matter how much it has cost me. I don't regret choosing Ghana as my safe haven despite having immediate access to the whole world.
I don't regret living on my feet instead of existing on my knees. I made every choice I made because it is exactly what I wanted to do, not what someone else wanted or advised me to do. If I die today, I'll be very satisfied with the life I've had.
My nightmare is that I will someday lie on my deathbed and realise that I saw nothing, did nothing, changed nothing, experienced nothing and generally had a nothing life.
People like me have already seen and had the best of everything the world has to offer - we were born into the best of it and we deliberately chose to chart a different path for ourselves because that's what bored, rebellious rich kids do. If they don't change the world, who will? Modupe in Ikorodu?
The people like the short fellow who spent years impersonating a lawyer and leveraging his relationship with Aliyu Gebi to gather the social and economic capital to escape the poverty he was born into in Ojota and move his family to Milton Keynes, could never hope to understand what fuels people like me - we are outside their entire available scope of reference.
The biggest tragedy that poverty has inflicted on such people is that it has robbed them of their imagination. They cannot conceive of the possibility that in Nigeria, other kinds of people different to them exist - people who exist at the 4th and 5th layers of Maslow's hierarchy of needs instead of the 1st and 2nd layers.
That absence of imagination is what leads an otherwise educated person to suggest that a successful, British-educated 33 year-old professional with easy access to the world who comes from a family with its own crest, registered corporation and Annual General Meeting, does what he does because he is "looking for asylum".
One can only hope the innocent kids growing up in Milton Keynes will at least have more of an imagination than their hapless parents whose minds are still trapped in the Face-Me-I-Face-You on Olatunji Street, Ojota.
