A young Nigerian graduate, has shared a story that shows that failures could actually serve as a source of inspiration. Onyeachor said that he finally got a response from the Bank of America four months after he applied for its EMEA|Dubai|Investment Banking | Full-Time Analyst Programme.

The letter they sent him was, however, that of rejection of his application. The Nigerian said that he initially felt sad.




The young Nigerian man said though he was dampened a bit, he would not allow the reply to stop his dreams. Photo source: LinkedIn Source: UGC He said that he later encouraged himself and saw the rejection as a push to even try harder and push himself more.

Meanwhile, reported that a man identified as AD Patrickson has narrated his inspiring success story of how he became an owner of oil and gas company years after he worked as a night watchman on oilfield vessels.

Nothing beats passion and hard work. Patrickson said that to achieve his dream, he had to put in his all.

He added that passion also made him improve his academics. Never to be one who does not give back, the downstream expert said he also contributed to his country, Cameroon, during the pursuit of his career goal.

Now that his commitment has paid off, he is the CEO of Source Rock, the first local Cameroonian company that “runs a natural gas facility without any expert help”. In his final words on his LinkedIn post, he encouraged every dreamer like him, asking them never to give up, that the goal is closer than they think.

In other words, Mina, a Senegalese rapper, is taking over the hip hop industry by storm with her unique style. She is not only getting attention for her strong bars, but the way she dresses is also a big statement. With a hijab, she looks different from most female rappers out there.

Her style has become a source of criticism. In her interview with BBC, she said people tell her she is an embodiment of Satan and ready to destroy their religion.

The rapper said wearing a veil is a style she has chosen as she is not a Muslim. Starting out was never easy for her because getting parental support was difficult.

She said that her father grew into accepting her for who she is. Mina said she had for long wanted to be a musician but her veil was a huge hindrance to that dream.
