Everybody around me knew of my love for music, that was what earned me my nickname, ExKid (in reference to Wizkid) while I was on campus.”

On the top secrets of his successful businesses, Honorable Exkid shared his nuggets.

He said, “Wisdom in business, You have to know your vices and how to use them. Also have in mind that in business you can’t please everyone. More so, in business when you fail or have a setback you accept the fact that you made mistakes and adapt fast thereby moving on to the next step.

In business you also have to be creative. Running a business in Nigeria has being complicated because here there are so many businesses people venture into which your not the only one.

So you have to make your possible best to get the attention of people to you because the competition is something else. So you have to try and be on the winning side.”

He continued by sharing his best and worse moment as a business man, “My best moment was sometime ago when I got to find out how successful my business was and the satisfactions the customers get so I kept on going.

My worst moments was when I started my business newly, I didn’t strategize to know what comes first or how to run a business I almost ended losing at both ends.”
