Today, I just want to pause and thank God for how far He has brought me in the logistics, import, and export business.
In 2009, I made a decision that many people could not understand.
I left a very lucrative position as a Machinery Diagnostics Engineer with my dream company, General Electric, in Houston, Texas. As an Electrical Engineering graduate with First Class Honours and a Master’s degree in Telecommunications and Information Systems, working with GE was something my best friend and I had always dreamed about while we were in school.
So when I finally got the opportunity to work there, and then resigned less than three years later to start a shipping business from a small 1,000-square-foot space, many people thought I was crazy.
To be honest, there were many years I also wondered if they were right.
There were weeks when we barely had shipments. There were days when the challenges were so heavy that I regretted leaving General Electric. There were times when we struggled to pay salaries, when bills piled up, and when I felt like running away from it all.
But somehow, God kept us going.
As I sit today in my beautiful evening spot in Guangzhou, China, I cannot help but remember the words of Dale Carnegie:
“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.”
That quote speaks deeply to my journey.
There were truly moments when there seemed to be no hope. But in those moments, I also remembered the words of my then Pastor, the blessed Reverend Ken Oyakhilome, who called me one night and told me to be cheerful because God had opened an unusual door for me.
Today, sitting here in Guangzhou after finalizing our business setup and acquiring a new massive warehouse, I can clearly see the hand of God. I can see those prophetic words coming to pass.
I also want to sincerely thank some of our amazing team members who have shown loyalty beyond my wildest dreams.
Our CEO joined us as a youth corper.
Our Head of Operations joined us as a youth corper.
Our Head of Digital Technology also joined us as a youth corper.
Our vibrant Head of HR, our Head of Sales, and many others too numerous to mention have stood with this company through the difficult seasons.
Despite the struggles, the delays, and the pressure, these people remained loyal. And I truly believe the reward for that loyalty is about to explode this year.
As Bill Gates once said, most people overestimate what they can do in one year, but underestimate what they can do in ten years.
That statement is real.
What started in a small space in 2009 has now grown into a vision that is expanding across continents.
Today, we are ready for African-wide expansion.
The vision is bigger.
The doors are opening.
The mission is unstoppable.
To God be all the glory.
