I come from a family of modest means with strong hard work ethics. The family of Mallam Katibu. Extended family composed of two families joined as one.

I am honest, and I love living. I'm a deep thinker and easily moved by a word of wisdom. I hardly get angry and I forgive easily. My greatest pleasure is in giving. I feel satisfied whenever I give. It is easy to love me, because of my classical ways of treating people, and that's why so many people do. I love to look good, handsome and well-respected. I've many twists and twirls during the course of my adult life. I've experience successes and I've experiences bitter failures. But together, they all make me a better person today.

I attended Government College Toro (special school) and finished 2009. I proceeded to Ahmadu Bello university, Zaria to study medicine on my uncle's suggestion. I have no passion in what I was been taught, I was withdrawn at 200L. And this failure has been a good blessing for me. Pain and disappointments had been my greatest teachers since then. This help me found my passion: to own my own business.

I went from failure to failure since then, until I was labelled a failure by the society. I went to another school abroad and returned without graduating, started some businesses and eventually failed.

Today, all thanks be to God, all things come together for the good. I'm healthy and struggling on. I'm a student of prestigious Bayero University Kano studying what I love.

I'm passionate about business and learning.
