Michael Taiwo, a Nigerian life counselor, has recently shared an uplifting story on Twitter, inspiring others to persevere through challenging times by recounting his friend's remarkable journey from grass to grace.
In his tweet, Taiwo revealed that his friend, whose identity he chose to keep confidential, faced educational hardships but had now achieved the extraordinary feat of owning a home abroad.
The life coach went on to share the backstory of his friend, who had to drop out of Obafemi Awolowo University due to financial constraints related to tuition. Taiwo highlighted that this same individual has since become a PhD scientist, managing a reputable business and holding two patents—a journey that spanned 15 years.
Taiwo emphasized the transformative potential in everyone's life if they initiate positive changes today, urging them to surround themselves with the right influences. He also posted an image of the impressive home his friend had acquired.
In his own words, Taiwo stated:
“A friend sent me this picture of their new home yesterday and I was so close to tears, happy tears. This is someone that almost dropped out of OAU because they couldn’t afford our small school fees.
Now, they are a respected PhD scientist, with two patents and a manager in a reputable company. All within 15 years.
Your life can change. Start today. Start now. Listen to the right voices. Don’t give up on yourself. Take one informed step at a time, and before you know it, you will get there. Book no be scam.
I still remember one time when the going was hard for this individual and I coached them to get the green card via the EB2 NIW route. The rest, as they say, is history now. Don’t give up!”
