I will like to begin on this illustrious journey by first appreciating @awuahbenjamin for coming up with this contest. The story I'm about to share with you is the story of a friend turn brother. His name is Oloruntunbi Thaddaeus Tobi. He is the first male in a family of four children. We became friends when we were in school (LAUTECH) although I was two years ahead, we got along so well because of our hunger to succeed.

Life as the general saying goes "is not a bed of roses", Tobi was just a random boy who believes so much in his hustle and was fortunate enough to see people who assisted him funds because he was into buying and selling of crypto currencies. These people will give him money in form of investment with a signed document of the duration given to him to refund with the agreed interest.

Things were going all rosy for him until 2018 when the storms of his life began. It all started when his mother got involved in a life-threatening accident. We started running helterskelter to save the life of the mother and as you know that medical bills in this country can be so frustrating, so he had to take care of his Mom from the funds given to him by clients with the aim of getting it back with intense trading. He spent more than 1.3million naira on the mother's treatment because she was also diagnose with diabetes so her wounds weren't healing as per treatment. We kept praying and assisting with the little we could get as friends.

As if that was not enough, he bought some Bitcoin which he couldn't sell because he wasn't stable and lost a whooping sum from it before he could realize. This events took its toll on him as he was not able to get balanced despite all efforts put into it. We all felt it was just a normal life challenge until the period to make returns to some of his clients came. He couldn't get the money and was reduced to gambling trying his luck to see if he could get some money but he kept going deeper in debts.

By 2019, he couldn't even put together one-fourth of the total trading capital. At some point, he decided to visit a spiritualist to help with his situation but all was to no avail. Around May, 2019 he was on the run from his clients just because most of them weren't even ready to listen to excuses. He was tricked to coming to the east for financial intervention by one of the said clients who promised he would assist not knowing he was running into a trap. Eventually, he was arrested on getting there and was imprisoned.

After his arrest, we had to travel down to the east to plead with the clients and he promised to pay back all in installments. As at this point, he doesn't have a single clue of how he was going to get funds but we had to just put something before them so that our friend will be free. On getting out, he left everyone and separated himself while he got a car with the money he had left and started doing UBER business. He became a taxi driver while hustling to meet up with the instalments. This was what he started doing and little by little he got back to his feet and he's now back into crypto business even better and stronger than he used to.

His life became a challenge to everyone of us that are close to him and even anyone that hears about him. I was personally schooled that no matter how low you get to in life, if you refuse to give up or draw the curtain, you're going to make it at the very end.
