There were lots of challenges. There were days when I didn’t have money; days when my school fees were delayed. I didn’t have a lot of things that my mates had but I knew I was going to have them one day as I knew that with God on my side, I was going to work hard and ensure that those things I didn’t have then, I could have them when working so I got stuck to school.

I am investing in you, this is where the children of successful and important people shop, this is where my grandchildren will shop as a matter of right because you will be able to bring them here. So, I held on to that. Kingsway, to me was a dream of economic empowerment. It was a dream of handing over a better future to my children.

They never made me believe I was inferior to anybody. So, I grew up believing that I was equal to everybody. I don’t have any inferiority complex. They never made me believe I could not achieve my dreams. My parents taught me to reach for the sky, to break the glass ceilings. I was taught early that with the help of God.
