OYAKHIRE’S STORY

Oyakhire

I lost my dad when I was 14. I was in JS3 at the time and that was when I fell in love with the Arts.

It wasn’t until my final year of university that I realised I wasn’t going to pursue a career in Economics. I didn’t know exactly what area of the Arts I would go into, but I knew I could write a bit and I loved it.

Today, I’m the producer of a talk show. I started as a production assistant. I used to bring the tea & people’s food and do some running around. I’ve been a ghost writer, taken pictures, worked behind the scenes and other stuff. However, I look at how being consistent in what I love to do has made me grow.

In God, I’ve learnt to embrace my gift. I’d have run from it because of fear and the feeling I wasn’t good enough.

I’m in a happy place right now because for the first time I have an idea of what I want. I’m not the scared 14 year old teenager who was afraid of what he wanted.
