I have passed through the fours of university of poverty but God saw me through. I used to rent cameras from one Hon.Adewale Adeogun and I discovered that my marketing network was not making the kind of progress expected but I have to relocate to Isheri area of Lagos State.Today, as the minister (South West zone) in Helping Hands International, non-governmental organisation owned by a Philippine woman, we have able to put smiles on many Nigerians through our commitment to eradicate poverty from the society.

I want to build a befitting toilet for Ajeromi-Ifelodun police station and I am already building a private affordable secondary school for Ajegunle children through the noble commitment of quality education to humanity of Amaka, who has been running Choser Nursery and Primary school over the years and she told me the need to start a secondary school section which I supported her. It is a school that will give scholarships to Ajegunle students.

Our intention to create educational awareness for our children for the future.

He further explained that Ajegunle photographers should go for exhibitions and seminars to upgrade their photographic business. It is not about wait and takes photos but to put good food on their tables. Added that the Hon Rita Orji, the present serving Ajeromi-Ifelodun House of Representatives member, I personally left my base to work for her during the elections.
