The road to becoming it and all the hurdles in between

Ever felt like something somewhere was holding you back in the corner of your mind?

My name is Victory. I was born on Christmas day in the heart of Lagos, Nigeria into a family enveloped in so much beauty.
Well here is my story
I grew up always at the top of my class, but somehow it was never enough. I never came first, always second place. I struggled so hard and eventually finished at first position. I had to wait again two years to go to college, and then another two years to go to law school.

It always felt like having to join the second bus, having to get to the bus park just in time to meet the first bus filled up and ready to leave. In the time it takes to wait until the second bus fills up, we develop cold feet, lose our focus, meet with a lot of distraction.

In these times I never gave up. I always managed to pull my head out of the water always. I picked up fast anything and everything I set out to do with my hands and it has been a bumper ride amidst the potholes and many traffic lights.

Today I am a proud Fashion designer with my own clothing line and a lawyer in equity. I have been able to impact lives through my fashion and design Academy in Partnership with the National Youth Service Corps scheme
Ever felt like something somewhere was holding you back in the corner of your mind?

I also like to help indigent children get support and funding so that the can have same opportunities as other privileged people to have access to quality and qualitative education, thereby making the world a better place.
