Like what they say "If life throws lemons at you, make lemonades out of them"... For the naija hustler, life throws agbalumo at us.

Months backs, President M. Buhari, allegedly, referred to Naija youths as Lazy. The average OMO NAIJA is a work in progress with the hustling spirit burning on the inside. Well, let's share my story.

Have you ever had that Spark that Lit up that "Kai, i no go dey broke for this life" moment. I call it the #Spark2Lightup. This happened to me in my second year in the university.

I was just a young girl trying to make good grades even though i didn't like my school . I guess going far away from home made me feel like the world was against me, so my loner life.

I had countable friends, about 4 amongst which one was a blogger and a social media influencer. He was loved by everyone and was approached by everyone to hype their events and products and so on. I watched him make money but i felt becoming the ambassador i had wished to become, was the ultimate goal and i shouldn't get distracted.

It all took an entirely different turn when "hunger wire me" one very day. I called home and my parents reminded me i wasn't the only child and they couldn't send me money as often as before. YAWO JUS GAS!! Then it dawned on me that i was a Lasgidi breed and an OMO NAIJA at large.

I literally trekked to my friends house and begged him to open a blog for me and this was how i fell in love with the idea of content creation. Slowly and Surely, the snail would get to the finishing line. My #Spark2Lightup wassa goal! A new hobby was birthed, and of cause, monetized.

I got my first few cash from event promotions and brand promotions. But for the hustle spirit, i stepped up my grind and got Content development and Strategy as my Core and Graphics design to accompany. This time, i did these for my passion and the MULLA! It's the HUSTLE

Hopefully, I'd be an ambassador when next i visit earth but for now, LET PASSION PREVAIL.

Less i forget, this thread was birthed from @papilagos' thread on twitter, as seen in the images.


Hehehehehe.So, Feel free to share that Spark that lit up your hustle. I'd wait for the FTC.

You can be what you want to be when you set your mind to it.. don't limit your ability.
Be Great.

Spark up life with tecno

Some of us are not great story tellers. But we can summarize our journey from when we started aspiring to what we are now. Persistence, Hardwork and Obsession are the required qualities needed to light up your spark.

Well done OP

Life doesn't give us all exactly what we want. But we must count of our God given ability to adjust to changing life's circumstances. I was just having this conversation with a friend.

You see, even the high and might express life challenges. So let's not think it's only the 'medium or lower class' people that experience it. Great post, well done op.

Everyone have their own different stories to tell
I grew up in one of the notorious city in Lagos, Mushin
Through thick and tough we survived regardless.
We are not there yet but we are better than we are yesterday.

Cc lalasticlala , seun what's your success story?

The idea behind the #Spark2LightUp is to encourage the naija hustle spirit, i think

Yes o... that's the spirt dear. Lasgidi alone issa #Spark2LightUp

We have to adjust to changing circumstances. The maxim "no condition is permanent " is an indication. Strive to succeed in spite of how difficult it is.

Same here o. Well done OP. #Spark2lightup toh bad!

I'd like to know who this OP is. This is indeed a great thread (content). Even though the engagement isn't as good as the thread, you still deserve some accolades.

For me, every facet of life has a #Spark2Light up. We just have to find ours. My hustle journey has not be the most ugly of them all but at the same time, it hasn't been the most wonderful of them all. But las las, we go dey alright. Keep it up OP.
