"I decided I was going to just register a not-for-profit organisation, get like-minded Nigerians together and we would regularly go to communities and help youths, professionals who need help and just give back to our community. So, it’s a hub of like-minded people like me who came together and said we want to give back, and raise giants who are going to be stronger than us, more powerful than us, who look like us. Because people cannot be what they cannot see, we want young people to see us so that they will know that basket ballers, musicians and so on are not the only inspirational people out there, and that was how we got them started."
