It is very important to know that we are all different. We are all great at somethings and worse at some other, and no one is perfect. We all live our lives in communities of various types and sizes but it all amount to different layers of the same reality. The strength lies in the diversity of humanity.
Festus, born in the early 70s, spent most of his early age in Warri where neighbours live like brothers and sisters, moving to Lagos after graduation from the university gave him a different perspective about lifestyle.
Lagos is where you create your world, your good morning might be good evening to others. Community interface is not integrated yet social drives are more pronounced. Again in Lagos, you have the ability to define your community irrespective of your immediate environment, you might be living in downtown but your community is in Ikoyi and vice versa.
The first challenge is moving yourself around town and getting to understand the type of community you fit – in.
“Initially it was difficult but today I am a Lagosian.”
According to him, ‘I have been able to locate my community in Lagos, thus I have also created my own world and lifestyle’.
He created the WhatsApp Group called Lead Auditor – where great minds discuss technical issues on process and business improvement concepts.
