@ibrycecrawford @grok remind me about this video when it comes out

@victorfatanmi Such an amazing story!
Relationships, network and connections built on university campus>>>> they end up shaping the most important parts of our lives really.
I still wonder what ethnic group/tribe Jideonwo is, I also always believe one of his parents is Yoruba😂

There's one piece missing in this story. Chude did not find me on Twitter. He found me through Joel.
Joel was one of those people I was doing the 5-10K logos and flyers for.
He was one of those students you wondered if they were really your fellow students. Representing FUTA in international tech competitions, they walked into the offices of senior university officers without knocking.
They were in SF today for a Microsoft competition, Newcastle tomorrow for something else, while the rest of us packed ourselves in hot lecture theatres that were anything but theatres.
I wanted to be like them. But I had neither the interest nor the skill for the 'coding' they all seemed to do. But if I couldn't be them, was there a way I could do something with or for them?
So I printed my crooked logo attempts for my classmates on an A4 paper and showed one of them. Soon I was making logos for these things they called startups.
That's how I met @JoelOgunsola ✨
He was, and he is one of the most brilliant people I know. He always had new products to launch, new initiatives to introduce, new programs to host... he came back and back. A logo today, a flyer tomorrow. I didn't understand many of them but I was just happy to call out my GTBank details and open my CorelDraw.
One day Joel came with yet another flyer. It was not his initiative this time. His mentor in Lagos had an urgent need. They needed to announce a program but the designer wasn't available in that moment. Joel offered to help get it done.
He told me about his mentor and his urgent need. For me, it didn't matter that he was doing it pro-bono for this big person. That was his promise, not mine 😅 I needed my own 5K. He paid.
(For many years, I thought the 'Jideonwo' was a Yoruba name... as per Jide something something).
The flyer needed to be ready in 24 hours. I delivered. Then he sent it to his mentor. The next day, he showed me the email response from Chude: "Thank you very much. Who is this guy by the way?"
Joel to me: "If he's asking that question, he probably wants to work with you. Let's keep our fingers crossed."
I received a phone call a few weeks later: "My name is Bukonla Adebakin from The Future Project... Chude asked me to reach out. We're preparing for this year's edition of The Future Awards and...
yeah.

Chude literally "brought me to Lagos". He gave me my first big break when he remotely hired me to design all the graphics for The Future Awards Africa in 2014. I was charging 5-10K Naira for logos on the FUTA campus in Akure. These were Lagos people and so I called the biggest amount I could think of. I had a deal for 150K Naira. The scope was a lot more work than I had ever done but I also couldn't believe my eyes. Or ears. "This design thing is real o". The drill was over. The night of the awards was my first time in Lagos by myself as a young adult. I needed to be there to see it all live. What a night! I muttered "Hi Asa, I'm Victor" as she walked by, then froze when she replied "Hi Victor". Did she just call my name?!? I finally saw the one called 'Falzthebadguy' from one of the posters I was designing. How did his mother allow such a name? I thought. It was a lot for me — the lights, the shiny clothes, the accents, but also the inspiring stories of the nominees and the gratitude in the eyes of the winners. I was both overwhelmed and inspired. It was a whole new world, and I was ready to take it. I would be back on that stage years later as a winner, I thought. I was. So much would happen in the decade to follow but a seed was planted that night, and Chude kept guiding, training, and coaching that potential to fruition. I had asked him if I could bring flyers from Akure that had my name and our 'VGC Media' campus label as the official graphic designer of the event. Chude said 'why not?' and even approved adding it to the packs for guests that night. The prints didn't make it but in the months that followed in Lagos, I would come to cringe at the idea and also understand how gracious it was he didn't mind the thought. It was the beginning of a long journey with him as my employer, client, mentor, and big brother. When we were to start @fourthcanvas in 2015, he told me I had what it took and he believed in me. He even helped choose the name 'FourthCanvas'. When I was stabbed in 2016, he was next to my hospital bed the following morning saying "you are going nowhere, we have a lot of big things to do together"😅 Imagine the full circle moment — me interviewing Chude on stage 12 years later about his own journey on the stage of Moment, a conference for which @fourthcanvas designed the graphics and overall brand. What a Moment! Thank you, @Chudeity 🥹 And thank you @whichayo and the @themainstack for such a huge feat, and the thoughtfulness that evidently went into the speaker selection and pairing, as well as other components of the event.
