𝗠𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗱𝗶𝗱, 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝟯 𝗱𝗶𝗱! On the 8th of September, 2024 I relocated to Manchester 🇬🇧 to study my Masters degree at the University of Salford, Manchester. As a creative, I decided to study Editing for TV, Film and Digital Media. Here’s a little backstory on how God did, and how Web3 did. (TLDR: not all events will be relayed as some are really personal 😶‍🌫️) During one of my prayers sessions about this time last year (September 2023), my eyes got opened to see the possibilities of me being able to study more and earn a Masters degree 📜. This was something that I never saw possible before but in prayers, God said “He would make it happen in due time”. This I held on to, and I was given instructions to carry out especially around my Web3 career. Some of the instructions were to buy new gadgets to improve the quality of my videos and get a studio like space to aid quality and consistency. As at the time, I relocated from Lagos to Ilorin and I was left with little money because the project I was working with as an ambassador ended the program. I obeyed in the hardship and did all that I was asked to do. In all sincerity, it was really hard because I struggled to eat after spending money on getting new gadgets. Following these instructions, I started making videos consistently. I embarked on a failed 30-days educational content challenge which I was glad I did 😂. Overtime, I got better, took on some content contests, won few and lost many 😂🤲🏻. I broke out at some point when I got the attention of @SamuelXeus through a video contest that I did for Standard Protocol. When this happened, I knew I was on the right track. Weeks after, I got a retroactive 25k $PYTH airdrop as a Pyth Network @PythNetwork ambassador. (I regret selling this for peanuts though because the same airdrop I sold for $7,000 would have worth over $25k at $PYTH ATH 📊). This served as a glimmer of hope for my Postgraduate Degree program in my dream city, Manchester. This year 2024, I got instructed to improve on my videos and get a better studio like place which I did again. I used about $2,000 to get a place, set it up and buy new equipments in my home country Nigeria 🇳🇬. Making this decision was tough because I knew I needed nothing less than $15k to pay my tuition deposit and prepare for my postgraduate degree program. I was down to $4k because I borrowed a friend $1k out of goodwill. The dream was fading but I kept trusting God that content opportunities would come my way for me to earn more and get to fund my masters program. (You don’t want to miss this part) One of the days in February / March this year (I can’t really remember), I saw a content opportunity by ThinkSui @ThinkSui, which was powered by @SuiNetwork, and hosted on @thriveprotocol. I dug my wells and I discovered that the opportunities in the campaign were endless. I took actions, made my research about Sui Network, joined Sui Network communities, wrote my scripts, made my videos, told friends on X about it, hosted 4 spaces, onboarded so many persons to Sui Network like @JoshuaOrhue_ who is now an OG in Sui Network, preached about ZkSend (now Stashed) effortlessly and the likes. I did so much work and I waited patiently for the rewards. After so much waiting, the rewards came and I got about $9k from this campaign. As a determined person, I took the money I got paid in $Sui, converted it to pounds, and paid the tuition deposit of £5,500 ($7,500) out of total £16,380 for my studies. I was graced with £3,000 scholarship by the school and I have about £7,880 left to balance my tuition. I’m really excited to start this journey and hopefully, I’ll get to impact people with the knowledge I get from here. About three days ago, I got on a team and we were able to shoot our first film jam. I’ll attach it here 👇.
