A Nigerian banker has shocked many after he
revealed he dumped banking for plumbing.
According to Bonire Abdulrahman Femi, growing
up, he had a dream to become an Army General.
He was so passionate about this that he refused
to write the university entry exam (Jamb) when
he was passing out of secondary school. This, to
him, was to make his parent give his ambition
their all.
However, after several failed attempts to secure
an admission into the Nigerian Defense Academy
(NDA), he began to realize that he has to have
several other realistic plans - like become a
successful
entrepreneur. But, the big question was, how was
he going to achieve this feat?
According to Bonire, he let go of his military
ambition and turned to plumbing which his father
taught him.
However, after several failed attempts to
repackage and promote his plumbing business,
shortly after graduating from the university, Femi
gave in to the challenges of paying the bills and
took up a day job with an insurance company
and a bank in quick succession.
But, all along, his dreams of building his own
business would not let him be.
Eventually, he resigned from the bank and went
back fully into his plumbing business.
Although, he might still be having some other
great business plans up his sleeves, as far as
plumbing is concerned, Bonire says he's living
his dreams.
I no longer have to get stuck to the same
monotonous routine job every single day
the way it used to be. I now enjoy what I
do and do what I enjoy. Do you? If you
haven’t found it yet, keep looking don’t
settle. And like every other thing that
matter to the heart, you’ll know when you
find it
The world is awaiting your success story.
That small tiny idea in your head could
make all the difference, so, let it out.
Thinking you’ll be doing that soon? Come
on! You’d better get started. You’ve only
got today.
You will only get lucky when your
preparedness meets an opportunity. So go
get started right now!
