It is amazing how Bonire Abdulrahman Femi, a former banker turned plumber has revolutionized the building industry. He is not your everyday run-of-the-mill plumber. Click here to see how this young man does plumbing with a difference.

You definitely need him to handle your next plumbing job. Call him now on 07034644973, contact on Skype @bonfem89, on Facebook or tweet at him @bonfem85

Just like the famous Steve Jobs, this young man believes that; “You have to believe the dots will connect somewhere down the road in your life. But you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect the dots looking backwards. This might take you off the well-known part in life, but that will make all the difference”.

“Sometimes, life can hit you with a brick in the head, don’t lose faith”.

“I’m convinced that I love what I do. You have to find what you love, and this is true for work as it is true for your lover. Your work is going to fill the larger part of your life, and the only way you can be truly satisfied is to do what you love. 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”.

And like every great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years rolls on. So keep looking, don’t settle.

Bonire Abdulrahman Femi, just like every other ordinary Nigerian has a dream to become something in life – 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.

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.

The Bigger Dream
Deep within, he has always been nursing a bigger dream, which is to become a successful entrepreneur. But, the big question is, how was he going to achieve this fit? Thus, he let go of his military ambition and leverage on one of the legacies and professions his father has instilled in him from childhood, which is plumbing.

But, he wants to do plumbing with a difference, and make himself available to clients and customers 24/7!

The Stumbling Blocks
After several failed attempts to repackage and promote his plumbing business, shortly after graduating from the university, he gave in to the challenges of paying the bills and took up a day job briefly 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. Hence, he resigned from the bank and went back fully into his plumbing business.


Dream Actualized
Although he might still be having some other great business plans up his sleeves, but as far as plumbing is concerned, he is 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” says Abdulrahman.
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!

except you are a top level officer in bank, bank work is usually slavery like.

Worst is if you are a contract staff, you are just a step from slave work.

Since he followed his dream, I wish him well.

Everybody can't be doing 9-5 work..

Very correct, I tell you.
Except for WASTING his time, talent and efforts as well as his parents' money going to university campus for four years or more.
He could have done six months or more in a vocational school/technical college to be a certified modern plumber.
What a waste of time.

Sometimes you have to live your dream and turn a blind eyes to those who criticize you. I am so sure those criticizing this guy are jobless, the only job they have is come up here and write shit, in couple of months now this guy will open a thread here on nairaland looking for a receptionist,accountant and driver and you start applying.

Get something done with your life now, turn down ur ego and learn something that make u a master.

Kontunu to search for a white collar job that doesn't exist, later you say the enemies in your village has finally gotten you..
