Hello fellow steemians….

I’m so excited to be part of this notable community, I lack appropriate words to express how happy I am. I can’t wait to exploit the new opportunity this wonderful society has offered me.

My Very Self

My name is Demehin Blessing Femi ( @blessfem ), 29 years of age, a dedicated and God fearing young man. I hail from Ondo state, Nigeria. A graduate of Industrial Chemistry from Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko in Nigeria and currently studying Industrial Chemistry (master in technology) at Federal University of Technology, Akure.

Am so glad to be here and I hope not to bore you with my words but be precise enough.

Tour of Life

My long awaiting dream has been to become a renown entrepreneur, investor and academician. Dream pave the way and success is a journey embedded with lots of ups and downs, this form the basis of my inspiration. Back then after leaving the village to study in the city. Understanding and speaking of English has been a major wilderness I have to pave through. Since I couldn’t decode my teacher I would meet one of my class mate that understood my mother's tongue to explain things to me. We were caught on several occasions with severe punishment. However, the story later changed.

The entrepreneur spirit burning inside of me never resist me from delving into buying and selling which form the basis of my success, while in secondary school I would buy and sell to people around me.
This was how a journey of a thousand miles started by removing just a piece of stone. And from the money raised I bought almost all my textbooks myself without involving my parents.

I believe my greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising any time I fall. My intellectual acumen was pronounced among mates and teachers. I represented my school and local government on several quiz competition with several prizes being won. I have worked as a teacher in various schools after my secondary school and during my undergraduate days.

While I was almost rounding up NYSC I picked up a master form and was admitted to study Industrial Chemistry at master's level. Wow! That's a dream come true.

Before resuming school to study master degree I thought of what to do in making a living since I can no longer fully rely on parents. Around us lies great opportunity unveiled which need discovery to utilize them. Am from the coastal part of Nigeria. I asked myself what I could do to earn a living, then I resolved going into buying and selling business. I would travelled home from school to buy different sea products like crayfish, fish (of any kind), prawn e.t.c. I package this products and sell them to organizations and individuals in other to support my M.Tech program.

Life Long Dream

My curiosity to manufacturing things make me delve into researching the potential of different locally available products because I believe everything I need to succeed is all around me, all I need to do is research their potential. With this stead I picked up a project to produce Candy from this locally available materials (details will be shared in another article). I just love challenging nature. From my research almost (if not all) all candy are imported into Nigeria from other country. This was what actually inspired me to produce my first indigenous candy. The major ingredient I used in producing the candy happen to be modified starch pre-selected from comparison made by characterization of various starches produced from root and tuber crops.

My Likes…

My hobbies are; reading, swimming, travelling and meeting new people. I do invest my money into buying of different business books in other to strive in the business world, where I learn different strategies of buying and selling from great business magnate. I also love reading motivational books and books by great men of God.

This is what I do before treading a new journey, I love asking people that are already on the same path or that are already coming back from the same route, I believe I could learn from both their positive and negative experiences. Getting to know steemit I have downloaded several videos on YouTube made by some steemians such as @jerrybanfield, @georgedonnelly among others.

The Power Behind Discovery

Searching for ultimate purpose of living has been my major priority. I work every day of my life in search of what my dream entails and the moment I discovered it I never gave it a second thought.

Experience has been my major teacher, on several occasions I have been knocked down but I refuse to be a prisoner of my past but an architect of my future. I can see what my future entails and some are well documented.

How I Come About Steemit…

On my search for another means to get extra income because my master's (M.Tech) program has been both time and money consuming. Many opportunities did I discover such as exporting and importing businesses, crypto trading, steemit to mention but few but they all require capital to start with except steemit. I got to know about this wonderful community through @eurogee the founder of @euronation, a newbie recruitment scheme led by @eurogee, @smyle, @sweetestglo-eu, @bob-elr, @drigweeu, @dray91eu, @edith4angelseu, @jeaniepearl and @adoore-eu. All these people are wonderful and they offered selfless services to newbie on steemit, I wish to emulate your foot steps to enrich steemit. I say thank you guys.

Steemit As A Tour...

I sincerely admire steemit's idea. A platform where you get to meet great people both within and outside your field all around the world. To me you (steemit) are beyond just a platform but a charity venture. I can’t just imagine people sharing their life experiences and get paid for it. Steemit you be boss!

Am not that social anyway but am envisioning steemit as a means to become socialise and also improve my writing ability.
I plan engaging more into steemit this year and I pray it proves to be the best for us. Steemit is growing and I will play my role in bringing more people on board. Fellow steemians I need your continuous affection, love and support. Thank you….
