Sharing throwback photo, he wrote:
“At age 14, I used to sell kerosene door to door to help my parent. It was tough, and some of my schoolmates laughed at me when they saw me selling it. Their teasing left scars, some visible, some hidden deep inside in the corridor of my heart. But you see, struggles, when faced with wisdom, can transform us.
I learned early that life doesn’t need to be perfect to have meaning. My parent worked tirelessly to provide for us, and I often prayed for a better future. But I realized that change doesn’t come from wishing, it comes from perseverance and the wisdom to keep moving forward, no matter how hard it gets.
In those times, I found strength in helping others. I carried burdens for the elderly, not for recognition, but because I knew that helping others brings out the best in us.
One day, after helping an old woman, she said, “Greater doors will open for you. All you need is to persevere.” Her words, though I didn’t understand them fully at the time, became seeds of faith and purpose in my life.
What I needed wasn’t a life without struggle, but someone to believe in me. My family and community gave me that belief and the strength to keep going.
Every choice I’ve made has led me here, resilient and focused on my purpose. Pain isn’t the end, it’s the beginning of growth. Struggles, when met with wisdom, can lead to something beautiful.
If you’re struggling, don’t give up. You are not defined by your circumstances. You are defined by your ability to rise and keep going. Motivation alone won’t carry you, wisdom will. Every challenge is an opportunity to grow.
Peter, I no longer take my decisions lightly. I’ve learned that struggles aren’t meant to break us, they are meant to build us. Your greatest strength is forged in adversity.
Greater doors are waiting for you.
Perseverance, Prayers, Wisdom, Purpose, with these, your future will be greater than you imagine.”
