YEMI LEVITE’S STORY

Yemi Levite

I hawked bananas for six years on the streets of Lagos, after school, to assist my mum in supporting the family.

I finished secondary school in 2005 with 3 Credits. Before then, I had written GCE 3 times and failed. I was tagged a failure.

In 2005, I gave my life to Christ and told God that if he would help me with my examination, I was going to serve him without fear. I became a member of the teens church choir. I would come to rehearsals with my Banana tray and return to sales afterwards.

I wrote my NECO examination and this time, to my surprise, I had 9 credits. I was so excited and I praised God for his help. I got a scholarship to study Industrial Mathematics in Covenant University but I left my degree programme after repeating my 400 level twice due to several carryovers. I eventually enrolled into Winners Bible School (WOFBI) in 2012 and went fully into music ministry. Today, I am a songwriter, a music minister, an online publicist, an artist manager and the CEO of Eternal Sounds, a Christian Music Company.
