I am Ebi and this is the summary of my life so far

Hello everyone! My name is Ebi Laffin. Ebi means good while Laffin means Prince

I currently live in Abuja, Nigeria. Nigeria is a country in West Africa and the most populous black nation on Earth. I come from a humble family of 5 kids (4 guys and 1 girl). I come from a small village Mfuma in South South Nigeria but lived all my life in Northern Nigeria. I speak English, Hausa and my native Kukelle fluenty with elementary proficiency in French and Ibibio-Efik.

I love playing Video games especially Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 and meeting new people.

In simple and straight forward terms, I would describe myself as

1. A man in pursuit of God
2. Engineer
3. Entrepreneur
4. Philanthropist
5. A fan of Liverpool FC of England

I do not joke with religion, search for God and the afterlife. They are primary reasons I am on earth, the remaining are secondary. I am a Christian under the Pentecostal / word of faith movement. I have found peace, fulfilment and contentment in my faith.

Engineering?? How did this come into my life? Well my Father is an Electrical Engineer and so is one of my elder brother, so it more of divine providence than choice. Growing up I was fascinated by how things worked and how they were built especially aeroplanes. I was always with my dad fixing and building things and I fell in love with anything Engineering. In 2016 my dream was fulfilled when I graduated from the University with a bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering majoring in Electric Power and Machines
You see Nigeria is a country that suffers from epileptic power supply with a total power generation of about 5000MW for a population of almost 200 million. I hope to one day solve this problem. I also have a flair for Computer Netwroking and Programming, I am a Juniper certified networking engineer and currently studying to earn my CCNA

Entrepreneurship?? I never believed I could do business until I took a bold step, as they say the journey of a thousand miles begins with a step. While in my final year, I and my colleague founded a start-up called Student Financial Aid. We provided small loans to students to help solve their immediate financial needs at a small daily interest rate with a simple collateral ( original Secondary School Certificate)

I am motivated by Bill Gates who has given a large amount of money in fighting polio in Nigeria. I set up a foundation even though it has not begun operations but I hope to see it one day provide aid in areas of health care, education, research and development to communities in Nigeria

Liverpool FC?? Who doesn’t know this club worldwide? I supported them for more than 10 years now and it’s been a mixed experience. But it has created great memories for me like the night in Instanbul when Liverpool came from 3 goals down to beat AC Milan on penalties.

I love kids too and hope to have mine some day in the future
