8 Years Ago, He Was Denied Visa Twice, Now Owns A Company That Has Supported Many Students With Employment Abroad, Meet Bode Roberts

Global Talent Development Leader, Bode Roberts has shared his encounter when he applied for a Visa and was denied and how the experience shaped him as he has gone on to change lives through his company today.

Read his post below as shared on LinkedIn:

8 years ago, I was denied visa twice.

I was optimistic about leaving Nigeria because of my no job status and my many failed interview experiences but after these visa denials, I decided to focus on my reality and maximise all opportunities that came way.

Today, a company I’m privileged to lead has supported the employment and admission of over 500 Dataleum Alumni in foreign universities within 3 years.

Just last month, 36 Dataleum Alumni relocated to the UK to kick-start their Masters degrees in Data Science, Big Data Analytics, Business Analytics etc.

Dear Amazing Youth, Always remember that your pain if channeled in the right direction, can heal others and prevent them from suffering the way you did.

I’m now smarter because of my mistakes, happier because of the sadness I’ve known, wiser because I learned and more fulfilled because I didn’t give up.

Keep going!
