Gratitude in the face of Adversity: A Life Long Commitment
What transforms a person from the depths of suicidal thoughts to becoming a beacon of positivity and change? Adewunmi Adisa's remarkable journey reveals how gratitude can become a lifeline when facing life's greatest challenges.
Growing up in Ipodo, Ikeja an environment where violence and negative influences were the norm, Adewumi could have easily followed a destructive path. Instead, through education, faith, and mentorship, he discovered his artistic talents and forged a successful career in advertising and creative media. But his most profound transformation came after hitting rock bottom when a relationship breakdown left him homeless in the UK, working in a warehouse when he should have been pursuing his creative passions.
This golden jubilee celebration episode takes us through the darkest valleys of Adewumi's life, where he contemplated ending it all, to the mountain peaks of purpose he discovered through founding the My Green Gene project. Now celebrating its 10th anniversary, this initiative highlights Nigerians making positive contributions globally, transforming negative stereotypes through celebration rather than complaint.
Perhaps most powerful is Adewumi's philosophy of inner harmony: "I forgive people before they offend me." His approach to mindfulness beginning each day with gratitude and intention rather than digital distractions offers practical wisdom for anyone seeking resilience in challenging times. For men especially, his vulnerability challenges the harmful expectation to suffer in silence, showing that true strength comes from acknowledging our humanity rather than pretending to be invulnerable.
Join us for this deeply moving conversation about finding purpose through pain, creating positive change from personal struggles, and committing to gratitude as a lifelong practice rather than a temporary response. Subscribe, share, and discover how authentic living can transform not just your own life but potentially touch countless others.

Speaker 2:Thank you. Thank you for that long intro. I don't think I need to do anything again now.
Speaker 1:No, it's really, really awesome to have you here today with me, and I'm very sure a lot of people want to hear what you have to tell us. Today. The topic of our podcast is gratitude in the face of adversity a lifelong commitment, so I also want to congratulate you as well. Congratulations on your celebration of your golden jubilee as well, and I don't know if you have any word you have to say to that. It's not easy to say Thank you so much.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't even feel I'm 50. That's the surprising aspect, because I felt maybe somewhere before now I've been seeing people clocking 50. So I felt maybe when I clock 50 there will be something that will be dramatic like, okay, I'm not feeling, yes, I just feel I'm still like 20 or 30.
Speaker 1:You know it's a bad mind, isn't it? It's a bad mind. Age is just a number. It's a bad mind. So you don't even look 50, to be honest. So that's good, right. So we're just going to get down to it. I'm going to ask you some questions and then you just answer to the best of your ability. So I know I've known you for more than 10 years and I've always known that you have been consistently patient. You're one person that I always say that I've worked with on green chip projects and sometimes there are some decisions that have to be made which are very pressing, and you remain consistently patient, humble and milk.
Speaker 1:I'm like what is going on? Are you not going to do something? And sometimes it drives me crazy, to be honest. Do something, just do something. You're always smiling, you are kind. You know me. I'm always on your case. Are you just gonna let that go? Do something about it. I just want you to please lead. You know, if you can just share with us. How did you, were you born like that? How did you become like that, so patient, so humble? Please, how did you become like that? I'm just really interested. You know, and I know the viewers would like to learn from you.
Speaker 2:Thank you so much for this question. Um, I wasn't like this all the time, especially when I was growing up. Uh, I remember there was an incident that happens with me and my elder brother that I was so angry that I used a razor blade to cut him in the leg, so that people will not see my gentility as a result of being a bit patient or calm or very nice. No, I have him said live. Sometimes you see life in a different perspective and the perspective that you are now seeing life will teach you to be patient, will teach you to to reset the mindset of anger or violence. Yeah, because I grew up in a kind of a community that is very toxic.
Speaker 2:I was a toxic in my community where I was growing up. It's a fellow community where people smoke in their home, where people smoke cocaine, as in. It's like a free fall within the area. It's not like something eating. Everybody knows it. This place is called Ipodo in Nkeja. It's like a place where you have bus stops, garage, and I lived with these people from my childhood up to my NYC, so I've seen a lot of our life started beautifully and our life ended up in that same area in the very queer world.
Speaker 2:Imagine a footballer that is known globally involving drugs, and this is people that you watch on your television when you are growing up, only for them to ruin their life in drugs in the act of following bad gang and friends. So definitely that will, as you grow up and you see that you will. You will reshape yourself, like if I follow this part of violence, if I follow the part of destruction, anger, or try to be belong to a society where I don't think. I think yeah, but thank god for god, uh, for life. I was captured very early in life to know more about God. That reshaped my antecedents growing up. So if I had not been saved, maybe I would have been heading a particular park in the Keja now, because some of my friends that would grow up together, the head of some motor parks, some kind of transport union heads and stuff yeah, I mean they are doing well in what they are doing right now.
Speaker 2:But that is not the channel I wanted to go through, but because of the environment I grew up. I mean, those are the goals, the dream that you see. That is the success that you think you want to attain. You won't even want to go to school. I mean going to school.
Speaker 1:Meeting christ has changed dramatically everything wow, yours is an amazing story because a lot of people blame their environments and I go yeah, I didn't have any choice. You know is a place where I didn't have any role model, but from what you're saying, it seems like you had a positive influence through school, through um, your faiths, which kind of pulled you to see a different perspective and a different dimension to life. You know, if you don't mind me asking quickly, where did you meet these mentors? You know, for people that grew up in that, growing up in a very challenging area, what kind of places do you think we should look out for in finding these mentors that can, you know, pull them out?
Speaker 2:yeah, um, one of it is, uh, I, right from the, from where I was growing up. Um, I will count myself as one of the lucky ones. I'm very brilliant. I mean my position all through my primary schools and secondary schools is within the first and third position. Even when I take that thought, maybe I was a bit lacking. So I, my primary school all through, was first and that was why I got my major from, because I said I behaved like a military man. So in the process I was made the head of March Pass Center. We were doing Children's Day, any activities. I would lead the school in March Pass.
Speaker 2:So I have this goal-oriented kind of person that I want to know more and I believe that, as somebody wants to be a leader, we need to know more about so many other things. So my inquisitive to know more about things gave me an opportunity to read more and also to listen to radio. So it was at this point of listening to radio that I met a lot of people, because then buying books would be so expensive as they go to the library. But when you listen to radios you hear so many things about politics. You hear so many things about people maybe preaching like like now. We don't have that time, we don't have zoom, but um, these men of god, or probably achievers, are invited to radio stations to talk. So I met a man called Pastor Sam Adiemi in 1996 on radio talking about success power. So that was a time in my life where I really needed that so much, even though I've been building myself right from secondary school, primary school.
Speaker 2:But when I finished my secondary school I couldn't get admission into higher institution. So it was difficult and I asked myself this guy, you are brilliant, what's going on? My work was fine, but he jammed before. He decided not to jam me. So I was at the crossroad. I was a science student out of secondary school, so until when I listened to Pastor Samadie Emi on radio, I was taught his success power, even though he was a Christian kind of pastor. But he decided not to speak in a scriptural way.
Speaker 2:Yes, my background is as a Christian or Muslim. My dad is a Muslim, my mom is a Christian. As a Christian or Muslim, my dad is a Muslim, my mom is a Christian. So I grew up knowing both faiths in my journey of life. So there's no way to despise one from another one, but I wasn't a real member of the church, so I only followed my friends to Catholic Church at that time, and Catholic Church, I mean, is a bit lukewarm for me at that time, so I wanted something more vibrant. So when this man called Pastor Sam Adiemi said, okay, he's opening a church which is called Day Star and he'll be doing an inauguration on a particular day, that he was inviting some of his listeners to come and I said, okay, maybe this is an opportunity to to meet. This man has been talking to me on radio. That was when I joined the church and our first contact with him.
Speaker 2:Everything changes so it was like rubber meet the road. Um, in me, uh, I've been dying to get into a particular terrain where I will fit in. So meeting him is like like-minded, like minds. You know I grew up in a puddle in the community where this opposites what I have inside of me. So try to make best of what I've got then. So now, meeting Paso Sama DME and the atmosphere of other like minds, so it was just like bam. Then they started, um, giving me some tutorials, uh, telling me towards the I mean the part then it talks about. Sometimes what we wish for ourselves is not what god wished for us.
Speaker 2:So you know, remember I said I am a science student, but I have this ability of arts within me but, I, never knew that an art is something I should pursue, because in the in the spectrum of life then I have, even till now, african parents want to want you to be engineer, doctor, lawyers and everything arts. I said, ah, I won't be able to wear that, I'll be drawing. So my perspective of arts was focused on, um, people on the roadside doing painting, the signboard. Then never knew that arts is also into advertising. What you see on tv, uh, what you see on our b board, how the newspaper we flip, we see adverts in it. So those are done by those who went to school, that's at that time, who studied other creative arts, um, mass communication and different stuff. But mine is art. I know it's not about mass communication. So until I decided to travel to ife or eu, yeah to go under their art.
Speaker 2:So that's when I see that there's something called advertising companies and they're really looking for people in arts to power that particular area, I said, oh, okay, I could do this. So there's a white collar job, that's artists or people who are into arts, yes, and explore. Oh then I went back. I had to now do a new uh work because all my life, my work, is focused on sciences heck because all my life, my work is focused on sciences for the mass, physics, chemistry not any of our latest courses.
Speaker 2:So I went back then. That's when I decided to do another jump right to go and study.
Speaker 1:Uh fine, and applied art, and I did masters in uh advertising.
Speaker 2:Wow, wow, wow, wow. And that was I was able to work in um some advertising agency, as even right before going for my nyc I got a jobs offer, oh, wow. So then, when I, when I told them that, oh, are we going to calabar to do my nyc? I said, said, why did you apply? We thought you were going to start tomorrow. Okay, what we can do is that while you are on break doing your NYC, then you can come and do some internship with us and to be paid, so that we won't lose you by the time you finish your NYC.
Speaker 2:The one-year Nigeria service score I said okay, we lose you by the time you finish your nyc. The one year nigeria service call I said okay. So even my friends that we grew together was like you're faster, you've even gotten job before going to stuff. And advertising has been the always because it allows me to use the computer, uh, my uh to share, uh, to interpret, interpret what my client really wants. People see some adverts around. Everything starts from sketches, storyboard for a TV commercial. You will envision it as this is a product or service that is targeted towards a particular demography.
Speaker 2:So what language of communication do you need to use that is targeted towards a particular demography? So what language of communication do you need to use to get their attention? What are the things that they enjoy? And they want to find the commercial, or probably the promo, fitting to their passion to say, okay, when I get to the market or when I needed this service, I can easily identify myself with it. Yes, so those are the creative aspects that many people don't know that artists are the one behind it so our mindset is artists as people that paint.
Speaker 2:No, we envision things and bring text into life yes yeah, the client does not. They won't come to you and tell you that this they will try to press. They call it a brief. Yes, the client will tell you that. Uh, I have a product which is energy drink.
Speaker 2:My target audience are people from between 18 to 25 yes I want this thing to be everywhere, in the shelf, in supermarket, and every uh in their faces create a brand promotion for me to get this scene out. So it is mean, I now look, I need to look which colors will fit this brand, what kind of size or design in terms of shape that people want to add a dead and, if I wait, how is the communication going to get to this person of each brackets?
Speaker 2:yes and, by the time we visualize it, people now consume distance on, be bought in the newspaper, on the TV, flyers and everything, and it's hot and that's awesome going on. So this is all the same. Behind the scene, though, we have a pool of people that works behind the client service. We have a pool of people that works behind. We have client service, we have copywriters, we have creative directors, we have a client service who interface directly with the brand manager or whatever to bring the check-in, but the powerhouse of everything I've mentioned is the creative department, which I helped in some of these agencies that you mentioned there.
Speaker 1:Wow, that's interesting. What I see from what you are saying is that your, your key strengths, some of your key strengths, is curiosity and love of learning. And your love of learning as because it's not easy to go back and then do your, your, your, and then it's almost as if you backtrack, and then you, you, you went back, do your exam and then do your jam again, so you didn't care about the time, because you saw who you wanted to be. You knew who you were not. This is why I always tell people it doesn't matter how long you stay on the wrong direction it will never, ever take you to your destination definitely
Speaker 1:so it is better that you turn back and then head to the right direction so that you can get your get to your intended direction, and that's exactly what you did, so that's not wasted time. That is, um, knowing yourself, because you have to know yourself and know what you want. And thanks to you, aligning yourself with the right mentor, which is Pastor Samadhi Emi, and you were able to find you in your life. That's absolutely amazing For people that are watching out there.
Speaker 1:Remember this Doesn't matter how long you stay.

Okay, so I have another question here, which is you know, there's this belief that men are expected by our society to be very strong. As a result, most of them, they prefer to suffer in silence. When there's adversity, they don't want to talk.
Speaker 1:I have cancelled men and I noticed that a lot of them do not finish their sessions a lot of them at least finish their sessions and when they come, they find it very awkward because of what the society norm is. They are not allowed to be vulnerable. They are not allowed to to to ask for help. You're supposed to be the macho man that everybody relies on, right, and I noticed that that is causing a lot of things. I was just wondering if you could share anything that has you know how this belief has affected you in the face of past hardship and how you managed to deal with it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, people's duality, say a thousand steps in the right direction, takes you to. Let me rephrase it the journey of a thousand miles begins with a step, but sometimes, if you take the wrong step, that journey of a thousand miles will take you nowhere.
Speaker 1:So if you now, if we rephrase it this way, that journey of a thousand miles will take you nowhere.
Speaker 2:So if you now retrace that, so if we rephrase it this way, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a step in the right direction. If you didn't take the right direction at the beginning, you will have a thousand miles, but going to nowhere. So, and when it gets to that blocking stone where you can't move forward, you can't go backward, you have to retrace yourself back. That was the story of the prodigal son who took a wrong step and when he found out that almost what um, even the peanuts and stuff that people are offering me outside back in my father's house, even slaves are treated better the person decided to do what? To take his step back.
Speaker 2:There are so many times I've cried personally on my own in the house that I've taken some wrong steps, and I know what people will say when you take a wrong step. People will say I told you, I warned you, I did this, I did that, and if you don't in yourself accept some of those things that you did that was wrong, then you will still make the same mistake. So crying and being a man is taking the right decision. If it's for you to go back and take, a man is taking the right decision. If it's for you to go back and take a new step, don't stay on the wrong path, suffering because you are a man. You will lose your life, and it's some of the greatest people in this world. People still forget them, so you are insignificant in it, uh, on the face of uh, this world. If you think people will miss you, it's only for a while. They will go. So, as a man, I want to tell you that, please, if it's time for you to cry, cry, cry, cry. There's no point showing my showman and in debt of you, you are dying.
Speaker 2:So many men, I mean sometimes, when we talk to ourselves, so man says oh, no, no, no, you don't do that, I am on. I said come, come on. If I have some of my friends who are having crisis in their marriage and for them to come so low to woo that same woman the same way they are, to become their wife, they are boastful. I said you, you don't really need this woman. I mean you. If you really want to save your relationship, your marriage, then you have to drop the martial stuff and come down to the level. I mean you will be shocked if you come down to the level of this woman. You bring yourself to that level that you want to work by just the same way you were toasting her before she said yes yes, yes do whatever, because if you really love somebody, you will go extra mile.
Speaker 2:Do whatever, because if you really love somebody, you will go extra mile, you will go extra mile.
Speaker 2:Fine Ladies are being tagged like oh, the ugly says sorry. So why can't you say 10,000 sorries Just to get back whatever? When you now get back, you cannot start showing up maybe years after. I mean, start showing your martial man on on whatever. But to win our back you have to go down.
Speaker 2:So the same thing applies to your personal life. So many men are dying and not able to resolve small issues in their life or because they can't say I can't do so low, who are you? You are not god. God saw you and felt that you need and help me. That was why I brought a woman in your life. So if you feel you are complete as a man, I mean there's no point god creating an helpmate which is a fellow woman. The same thing applies to you can be a professional in your field. Think you're a genius that everybody is. Uh, you're not alpha and omega. You are only good in that line. Even once you, you die or probably leave that position, somebody else who can do extraordinary.
Speaker 2:So why do you want to kill yourself as a man? Why do you want to be so bold not to accept errors, mistakes, not to submit yourself and recalibrate yourself back in your personal issues. I mean, this is not even about woman or about anybody, it's about yourself. To recalibrate yourself. If you need to go to school, go to school. I mean, so many times people have said that, oh, this part you would have done it better. Instead of me arguing with them, I said okay, but in my no, I close it. I will reassess myself like, okay, I mean, this person is saying this, I might show kind of a martial or probably, um, we don't want to accept that in the public but beneath myself I know this is so. Some people have denied themselves, even when they are alone, of that conviction that they made an error, a mistake. So, as a man, accept yourself, uh, and try to mend ways so that you can live long absolutely.
Speaker 1:Thank you so much for that. It's all about knowing yourself again, isn't it? Knowing what you want, part-time, and giving yourself the permission, evaluating yourself. You know, when you evaluate yourself, tell yourself the truth and don't be prideful, because, as I said, pride comes before fall, isn't it?
Speaker 2:Sure.
Speaker 1:You know a lot of people look at people and they're like, wow, you know, favo has got a lot of skills. And they look at another person. This person has. Look, they do not complain, they are okay, everything is fine.
Speaker 1:But really my mom normally used this adage that is the clothes that cover a lot of things. If you know what people are really going through, you will be more kinder. I was just wondering if you could share a very challenging moment that you went through that could potentially when people people will find it hard to believe. I remember last year in october and um, it was the miscarriage month, and when I tell people that what I went through, a lot of people did not believe it. They were kind of surprised that, ah, because I'm a very cheerful person, I'm someone that is always like just bubbly, but it doesn't mean that I don't have my challenges as well.
Speaker 1:And then I was surprised at the emails that I was getting from people, of people who have been through similar experiences, even some more than myself. But because of me being vulnerable to share my story within that mode, to support that cause, to draw more awareness at it, a lot of people were able to relate to it and they were able to find their healing and begin on their healing journey. I was just wondering if there you can share your most challenging moment, or any of your, because mine is a lot, I'm not gonna lie, hey, mine is plenty, but we move, we keep on, we live a bit, we heal and we move um.
Speaker 2:I was just wondering if there is any that you'd be willing to share yeah, yeah, I'm ready to share, yeah, um, I'm supposed to even release a book this year on some of the things I've seen in my 50 years of life. Well, one stands out a bit higher because I could say that is most likely the beginning of some of the other bigger ones that I've seen. So it might not be the biggest out of my challenges, but it's the one that starts as a catalyst that brought about stuff. Uh, I mean, I've got some in relationship immigration, uh, losing a, uh loved ones, even losing a family member who's so dear to me, so many ones like that.
Speaker 2:Sometimes I cried personally and I like why. But the one I would like to share was which is I think we resonate with so many people is the relationship part. I'm a very careful person. I look through things before I take actions and within me, if I'm convinced internally, then I will seek god's face yeah but sometimes we are clouded by our inner feelings and we translate it to god speaking to us.
Speaker 2:You, you see people telling you these, uh, negative stories about these people and these persons, but in your mind you just don't know what happened. You just said, oh, this is what I just they don't remember me. These people don't understand this person. I don't understand her or him more. I'll be able to manage it. But in the process you got get into that relationship and it takes you about 10, 15 years back of your life and you you now, after everything is being clear that you are you have lost this relationship and this is the state of the state at which you are. Then you will now realize that so many people were telling you this, even people who are so close to this person that you want to tangle a relationship with, and you just decided to turn deaf ears because of your inner conviction. But sometimes we need to doubt our inner convictions and listen to people and seek back our inner conviction and see that, okay, I'm going to be responsible. So what make me now not blame anybody then was that I talked about that in that process. I said, okay, uh, I will face any consequence that comes out of this, but the consequence sometimes some of us are just lucky to be alive, because some consequences of our actions can lead to suicidal thoughts. So in 2010, I got into a relationship. Everything was fine. I put in my base all the teachers I've heard from my men of God. But when I said it with my men of God, everybody against it. They said no. I said no. Okay, this is my inner conviction. I said no, they won't be part of it, so because of that, I ignore them. I move away from there. I share with another person said no, no, no. It's not your kind of person that they need to be. To the need for finding this circle. Drop that relationship. And the third one was that the father of this particular person also said no. The mother said no. The family said no. Then that is when I said this is the time I need to stand with her, that she is not the kind of person that they thought she is. They gave me so many references. I said the love of Christ overruled every other thing. I was preaching gospel. When is now my turn to face every other things? I was preaching gospel. When it's now my turn to face what these people have shared with me. I thought it was a joke. She acted the same way. It's like a template. She has said the same template on me.
Speaker 2:I was this strong until the day I saw a police in the house and the police said I should leave the house and I was homeless. My mind was like, okay, this is just for temporary. Never knew this was 2011. The date nothing happened. I'm out of the house.
Speaker 2:It was at this point where I was roaming around the streets. I've got some money so I hired hotel to start staying. Even I didn't even know that you can rent a one-room apartment in the UK. I was staying in a hotel. They were were cutting 40 pounds or 30 pounds every day from my bank card. I stayed about two weeks.
Speaker 2:Then it got to a stage I said I can't continue like this, so why just walking around the road? So somebody just called me and it happens to be somebody that knew I was in the UK Said oh, oh, this is you're going through this. Please kindly come and stay in our house. So I moved into their house so that saved me from the everyday spendings. And this was a pastor in a church uh, in town center, so he couldn't put me in his house immediately so he hired me a hostel, a 16 bunk hostel.
Speaker 2:So I was staying with so many other people who are a bit homeless until I had to reconnect with some of my. This is a white man, a pastor of a Catholic church in Odam Road and the city centre of Manchester, uk. Along the line I met somebody who got me a place in his apartment. I started sleeping in that apartment. Still, I felt I mean, this thing can still work While people are telling me that God has saved you from that relationship. I was still planning to mend it until I found out that if I decide to mend that, I'm going to be in the pit of fire. Yes, they were saying it out. Then I got the I mean people I was living with. It seems like these guys are going to commit suicide if they don't engage me, because I will be on my bed from morning to night Three days. I won't even eat or drink anything. I won't even realize it. I'm in a new, another world.
Speaker 2:So they had to find me a job in a warehouse. Now I was telling you that I work in an autopsying agency I have in Nigeria Nigeria, I've set up my own business. I've got our five clients working with me, brands and stuff making good money. So I did come to the United Kingdom based on greener pasture. I came to United Kingdom to meet somebody I love, so now the situations are becoming toxic and I had to leave that relationship. So why I was being given opportunity to engage. It's other than sleeping. It was a warehouse where I would walk myself for eight hours standing and when I get back home I will just go and sleep and wake up the following morning see him again back to this job.
Speaker 2:So it was at a point when I was now working there I was like what am I doing here? People working here? I mean we call that place sleep trade part two. That's how difficult that job is. You won't see any british who has not been convicted working in that place. It's the only people you see. More is, um, maybe european people who are trying to ozu black asian minority who also quickly hand money and send money back home.
Speaker 2:So mine is not about the money I'm making. Mine is just that I have something that is engaging my mind. At that time, rather than me being idle, I'm planning suicide thoughts. So it was at the point there I was pushing because we used to push cage then I was just crying. Then my colleagues were like why are you crying? They don't understand. I just realized that what am I doing here? So the whole scenario of how people convince me not to go into this relationship, how I force myself to enter that relationship, how I now ended up in a warehouse in a foreign country pushing cage when I'm supposed to be using my thought processes for my advertising profession, yeah.
Speaker 2:I am now doing 10 pound per hour, 15 pound per hour, when I'm supposed to be doing employing people. So what? I was just dropping through my my head. I still walked there because I felt I was a bit in shape when I started working there, because I was at home, sleeping, not talking. I was just gaining weight. I said, oh, maybe this is like avoiding pure gym. So I walked there for about six months. Then, when I couldn't take it, I told my father. I told him I want to resign. So, on my resignation in 2012, in 2011, october, september, october I decided to go to Nigeria and I couldn't stand it.
Speaker 2:So, when the pressure in back home, when you break up in relationship, uh, africans stigmatize, there's a stigma on you. They said you can't manage your home. I said, with all this, my reading, my listening to men of god, this is so, so toxic. I ran back again. Yeah, because one of the things I felt back home is that I was looking for comforts, people to understand why this did not work. But it was the opposite friends and family that was supposed to hug you that. Thank God you're safe. Thank god this incident did not take your life, but instead it was and we've been antagonized about so many things you did wrong and the only way I could get comfort then was to just to run back. So I came back I said, okay, I'm going to rewrite the story, I'm back here, I'm going to excel here, I'm gonna do so many things to rewrite the arrow and try to tell many people why this thing. You need to think twice before you take that decision. And that is exactly one of the things that saved me, did it going back to my uh drawing board, rewriting the story and saying that I must leave. I mean, I shared one place that I was about to commit suicide at the point, because suicide thoughts was just, I say, was writing free, free accommodation in my head at that time, because you would think I'm at the pit of everything in the life, in my life, like you were helped there, my business crashed, um, the relationship I sacrificed everything for still didn't work. And here I had to start all over again, and in the process you're losing friends, you're losing colleagues and you just have to start all over, because now you need to build a new friendship, because if old friends that were supposed to console you are the ones antagonizing you and you want to run away from them it's possible so that you can't get a new lease of life and, as at the time I'm talking about I was talking about I've not even built friendship in the united kingdom, so I have to say, okay, how do I start? Then?
Speaker 2:One of the things that changed everything was when Paso Adebwe came to do something 2013 in the Bocas Rally. So I've worked with. If you see my episode when you are reading it, I was a global, so I've worked on. I was a brand while I was in Nigeria, so my boss then was the public relational officer for RCCG worldwide at the time. I don't know if he's still current. So I met him in London and he asked me to meet Pastor Adeboye and he prayed.
Speaker 2:So one of the things that was changed then was I changed my name from major my nickname was major to favorite major, because he mentioned something then that really changed everything. He said you didn't make any error, you only committed adultery with your person, and god has saved you now because in the first place, you are not supposed to be in that relationship. So, as a redeemed, we can't see it as adultery because the person you got involved with was married, so you going to that relationship is also taboo. So, thank God, you have a new leaf of life and it needs a new way to take a new step. So feel free, you can come back to us and we'll join you with whoever you have chosen, but don't make the same mistakes. And that changes everything. So I said, okay, please just order, just order on, just hold on, because I don't want no I don't want anything to be misconstrued.
Speaker 1:Okay, that um favorite major was um going out with another mass wife. No, no, no, that is not the case, please, that's not the case. That is not the case. No, that's not the case. The person has been divorced?
Speaker 2:yeah, but according to um, the redeemed christian church of god, even though uh we are getting married to, uh is divorced for the fact the person is still living, you are not supposed to get married to that person.
Speaker 2:That's what's redeeming all right it is okay, some churches don't believe in that, but because she has been uh divorced before we came out, because we got married in a church and court, so but for them, even uh at that time they didn't want us to join. They can join us together in their church or any pentacles church. Who doesn't believe in that at that time? So that was exactly what I was trying to portray that because that person husband is still alive, you are not allowed to get married to her. But because of my conviction at that time now I know more, better, so I am free. So that was a time in my life that I feel uh now generated in so many other things. So that was what I said.
Speaker 2:I decided to share it so that at least the other problem I was having was as a result of that particular relationship. But thank god, I am over over it and I build over other things in the course of uh my life. That's. That is just even like is. It is the least of it. I like challenges, because challenges give you another opportunity to move into the next step of your life yes because the more challenges bestow on you at work, that is what, and you're able to surmount it.
Speaker 2:That's what leads to your promotion. Yes, so when you bite, one of the things my pastor used to tell me is that bite more than you can chew, so that God will help you to chew the rest. Because when we were growing up we said don't bite what others can chew, so that limits us from excelling or from facing stuff. I mean, if you are into business and you put some containers from China to come to Africa probably some goods there is no assurance that tells you that those containers of your goods from China will get safely to the destination. But you have to take the risk. China will get safely to the destination, but you have to take the risk yes so when you get to the destination, that means you are successful.
Speaker 2:That's why, even if you feel everything's gonna be all right, then there's no point of having an insurance absolutely so insurance came in as a result of event of eventuality risk yes, so I like taking risk, I like challenging myself, because I feel that that is a pedestal for the next breakthrough wow, wow, you know.
Speaker 1:I just want to really thank you because a lot of people will see you. They're like this one. They don't understand life. They've never been through challenges. He's gifted. Your work speaks for itself. He's gifted, he's you know, he's talented at this thing. He knows that, so he's very good to um. He has good influence on people. He knows how to navigate his way with different people and all of that stuff. He's fine. We don't hear him complain. He's always smiling and everything. I'm glad that this is coming out for your mind, because if there is someone out there and you're thinking about putting an end to it, or look at Adesai, look at him. He did not give up and that is why I still have the privilege to speak to him today.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:One thing I say is that random out of kindness was part of the things that saved you. You said when you were out of the house that man did not owe you nothing, he didn't have to put you up where he did, but God, in his infinite mercy, used him as a random out of kindness for you and he was able to put you there and then, in the course of it, or even the job that you got, I feel that also helped you as well, because then you were waking up every day to a purpose that was like a distraction to yourself, because with the kind of person you are, you were someone that had to use. You need something to keep you busy. Yeah, and when you go into this job for six months you got it and please for people out there, when our people need support, let's learn to give before we say we told you soon. There's a part where they said you use one to beat each other, use your own to draw them closer. You went home for comforts.
Speaker 1:It really saddens my heart that nobody, nobody thought it wise to say okay, what does he want at this time? You see, that thing that we said before about the belief that a man should be strong enough. A man should be able to carry everything. I'm sure if it was a woman that went through that, maybe, just maybe, she would get more empathy than you did. So for people out there, let's learn to show people empathy. Let's learn to positively regard people regardless.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we might tell them like, oh, yeah, we told you so, but it doesn't mean we should dwell on that, we should allow them. If you had that shoulder to rest on and just, you know, be vulnerable, probably you will not come back and then go through all the things, even the societal ideation that you went through. I am so glad. I am so, so glad that you're still with us, because if you had, I wouldn't have met you and your gift they are using to bless us right now. We would have been deprived of it. So for people out there that are going through similar things because even the rate of suicide is I am with men now and they are the ones that they as really do go through um because they plan their things thoroughly.
Speaker 1:So please, I'm using this means to speak to someone. If you don't want to speak to anybody, that believe. If someone says, sonia, I can't speak to them because when I do the next day is on their facebook, is on their instagram. I don't want to be um a news for anybody. I don't want to be a source of news, then there are qualified counselors like myself. Speak to them. People you don't know, just go and check and there are so many counseling organizations. If you are in uk there are different counseling um um charity organizations that can even give you some sessions for free if you don't have the money to do that. So please don't um deprive us of your gift. We still need you very much in this side of the world and just stay put. Everything is going to get better and I know that everything will work together for your good.
Speaker 1:It's just for you to hang in there. Thank you so much, mr adewo miyadisa. So, um, I've. So I think you've already answered some of the questions In the class of you just talking. I know you have a vision For the green chain and a lot of people, and I know the green chain is happening in June, right? Can you tell us what my green chain is all about and Give us a date where we can get a ticket, please? You don't need to go and buy the ticket, you need to go.
Speaker 1:So please tell us what the green chain is all about.
Speaker 2:Yes, um, back in Nigeria, um I to the. I attended my uh uh district center. Uh, there's this district leadership academy, um created by Pastor Sam Adiemi. So we have the first basic classes and we have the advanced class. So in the advanced class, there's a particular course called national development, which I was so passionate about. It's about what is your own contribution to the development of your nation, your country. So at that time I pick up a project called shout series where, um, I'm a victim of it. That was why. So this is all about?
Speaker 2:Uh, I thought I live in a very rough area. While I was growing up and I didn't even ship with this, maybe I'll put this in in I left home, my parents, my family, own, where, when I was in JSS 3, I left him to start living alone on my own. As I leave my parents, my father, my mother yes, because why did I do that? I used to visit my friends in Agage because I schooled in Agage area of Lagos, and some of them do have their parents. They live with, maybe cousins or extended relatives, and they are doing well, because there was no support system for them. So the only opportunity they have is that they could be able to sleep in the living room. There's a big living room then. So when I go back to my own base I feel like my parents are pampering me so much. So I also I started because I'm very good in craft, so I used to design handmade cards, signposts for businesses and stuff like that. So I felt I could raise some money and go and get myself accommodation and live alone. Maybe that would shape me better. So I started this my struggle even while I was in secondary school or primary school. So that came about.
Speaker 2:When I finished my NYC, I was still living in Igbodo in a face to face house run down where we have what is called pit latrine and stuff like that. Fine. So first thing I did was okay, after doing this, my advanced program of national development I decided to take my house as the first one. I renovated the front face of the house. I painted it, put flowers at the entrance and go to my own room, paint it and put flowers also there, so it changes the outlook and people look at that house. So the following, the following year when I moved from that place, then I started working. So I moved from there.
Speaker 2:Rent a mini-flat. That means you have a room and a living room, separate kitchen, separate toilet. So you're not in a face-to-face apartment now, but you're not in a two-bedroom flat. You're in a one-bedroom apartment, not self-contained one bedroom that has a living room. So I said, okay, let me, let me just do the same thing I did in my one-room apartment. There. It worked. Even the landlord was so happy with me, like, ah, he said I've turned his house to london house. Mind you, I'm into art so I could easily blend colors very well and do some crafts down of little house.
Speaker 2:So I was driving out one day and I saw a place very close to where I live. We call it a civilian barrack. It's a three-story building with so many people living there. Ah, I said, now this will be my project to change the orientation of people, many people who are graduate at the time. Uh, because we just left school or service. We don't have so much. So we go back to the place where, uh, we used to live and in the process we struggle to get, because then in lagos, before you can get uh apartment, they will ask for three years rent wow in advance, sometimes two years rent.
Speaker 2:If you are very yeah, they will ask for two years upfront rent and you, uh, even the place might not be well now you'll pay for agreement. You'll pay caution fee. Somebody will just graduating.
Speaker 2:We have to go back to his parents house wow so and I said what if this house is painted well, it's uplifted, you could still live there, because the shame of living in face-to-face houses or visually run-down houses for a graduate is very, very demeaning. You have gone so many places, you have inquired, read so much about life and the place you are living cannot even correspond to what is inside of you. So I wanted people to say, okay, start from where you are on your way to where you're going. Why not make this place a befitting place? So if we do that, replicate that across our country, nigeria, then that might change orientation. So I brought some motivational speaker in front of that house.
Speaker 2:A partner with um painters um, sorry, people who are painters who paint a pattern. Partner with paint companies. A park partner with the horticultures, those people who plant uh, that was during fashion. A lot of time we plant um flowers around to be defy places that let's transform this house. Even what I had to partner with um, an aluminium company, do framing of windows just for us to change.
Speaker 2:Then I spoke with the landlord that this is what I want to do, that we want to transform your house. So it's called like a stream makeover. But the only thing is that we won't go into individual rooms but we'll make sure that the front part of the house is befitting so it no longer looks like civilian barrack. It now looks like 1004 estates and everybody agreed with me and we did a pilot shoot and that was a so sex, so it was at the time. We're now trying to do city, so I I forgot to even mention Nigerians like entertainment. So to get the attention of people, I had to bring in some musicians. I had to bring some musicians, comedians like Basket Mouth, then it was Alanta, that was raining Artquick, they called them. I brought them to perform in front so that generated the kind of crowd yes to that particular vicinity.
Speaker 2:So, and while the crowd were listening to music, they will not bring a motivational figure in between. So to talk to them about reasons why we're doing this, that if everybody can make their houses beautiful, their surroundings clean, we'll be living in our own mountain five, we'll be living in our own victoria island in our oregon, and looking at people. The only difference from those people who live in a big, clean environment is the mindsets. And when you paint your mindsets, when you change everything around you, when you live, uh, clean, even those people who live in big houses will envy you, and that was a project I was supposed to see before this eventuality of traveling abroad to meet my spouse came in. You can understand why I said. Something leaked to another and it crushes so many visions so while I was, here and I decided to come back.
Speaker 2:I told myself, okay, I'm gonna do, now that I've been stable back in the uk, I'm gonna be replicate what I'm doing back home.
Speaker 2:But I couldn't do the same makeover in the united kingdom, but I realized that, okay, what about the negative stereotype people are giving to nigerians globally? Then, before now, when we don't have 30 december, it is about 419 they call everybody once. They say you're a Nigerian, you're a fraudster. No matter how intelligent or professional you are in your field, you're seen as a fraudster and there's no way nobody's taking action. So I said I'm going to take this. So for my 40th birthday in 2015, said I'm going to launch this project. So and that was the reason why my greeting was but to change the perspective, to celebrate those people who are making us proud. If we start celebrating more of the negative, um, our people, more of the negative stories people hear about us, we visual out easily yeah because we speak bad about our country and we expect us to be.
Speaker 2:I mean, when I speak about about nigeria and I expect myself to travel out of nigeria and other people treat me well? No, they won't, because people speak bad about the country yeah even speak about their daily life.
Speaker 2:Their leaders, when they are traveling, are given red carpets, but you, that is, ordinary citizens, will be treated the same way. You are speaking about them, about yourself. So I said, okay, can we keep now saying positive things about us? Let's celebrate those people who are making us proud. Let's celebrate the value that we have. We have a different gene, a Nigerian gene, and this is 10 years that we've been doing this. We thank God that people have been appreciating us.
Speaker 2:This year we're going to be having our 10th anniversary on the June 28th, live in Manchester. It's going to start from 1pm and the main event is 3pm and we're having the likes of Kenny Black, danny Young, mike Abdor, comedians, momo Jesu, even different acts, surprises even from the government of Nigeria, also having some delegation coming around. I mean, I don't want to mention their names now. I know we're going to have a lot of fun and some people are also going to be receiving awards for making us proud in the global scene. Some people are traveling from Canada for this event, some are coming from America, some are coming from South Africa and event. Some are coming from america, some are coming from south africa and a lot are coming from nigeria also just to celebrate the fact that we are nigerians and our gene is something that you should be proud of, irrespective of the negative stories around wow, wow.
Speaker 1:You know, I wish, I wish a lot of us could be like you and maybe that would make us look like royalty that we are. But I'm so glad a lot of people are buying in. This is your dream now. I've always believed in this dream. Even while we work together, I used to volunteer with you and everything and every other person. We believe in that dream. And even with the COVID coming, that did not deter, deter you, because I remember there was one that was done online.
Speaker 1:You went virtually yeah and I thought, wow, there's nothing that is going to deter this man. The dream carry on, whether covid or not, we carry on. And when I see a lot of people I don't know if you've heard of a girl abided she's a bike rider. And now she's creating african word book, you know, to celebrate us, that kind of just tie with what you are doing as well exactly like to celebrate, instead of us waiting for guinness book of record, why don't we do an african one?
Speaker 1:and you, instead of waiting? They said if they don't invite you to the table, create a table for yourself and then invite the people that you want. So that is what you're doing. We are not. It takes one person to make that difference, and I'm so glad that this vision is carrying on and I'm so praying that it carry on and it get bigger and we, we start portraying ourself in the lab, because there's so many of us that are gifted and are talented and doing amazing things that need to be recognized, that deserve that award, including yourself as well.
Speaker 1:So, june 28, 2025, please. We're going to drop the link of the ticket or where to get it to get. If you've not got yours, we're going to drop it in our bio as well, and for you to get the tickets, we'll drop the link. It should be flashing through the screen where you can get it. Please do not miss it.
Speaker 1:If you're living in Manchester, yeah, people are coming from South Africa, canada. They're coming from America. If you're in the UK, what are you waiting for? Right, come and join us. Let us celebrate our green chain, because there's something royalty in us, there's something special in us and we are taking over. Our food has been, it's, it's been, uh, celebrated, yes, our music has been celebrated, our fashion, so we are going to start speaking good things, speaking life into our nation, and the more life we see, the more things that we'll begin to see in a positive life.
Speaker 1:Thank you so, so much, mr favor, you know, in the course of you answering all these questions, you just keep on entering my, my questions. I can't, I don't even know what to ask. So thank you so, so much. Now, on this episode, we always ask people to give their own uh, to share how they create their inner harmony, because my book on inner harmony is about my burnout journey and I'm a big fan of inner harmony because I believe that when you create that inner harmony inside of you, the external agencies, the external influences, will not be able to penetrate and then you'll not be able to have that level of stress right. So you need to create that inner harmony. I'm just wondering would it be generous enough to share with us how you create your inner harmony, that you are able to smile, get the best shot when someone is taking a photography with you. You're like just laughing. How do you yes, how do you create your inner harmony that you can share with us, that people can also?
Speaker 2:yes, we women are disturbed. We always get carried away with our surroundings. What happens to our surroundings? Sometimes they can get into us and in the process of getting into us we react in a way that might not be the way we wanted to react, but because we allowed that environmental distortions get into our spirit and we. So instead, every time you wake up, don't just jump up from the bed. Plan your day from your mind. Have that peace within you. I used to say this in my people say this. I said I forgive people before they offend me.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 2:Because you are a band of people who want to encroach into your privacy, into your art, into your own consciousness. But for you to have that freedom that, no matter whatever happens, I won't let this thing get into me. It starts from before it even happens. You, you wake up in the morning. You bless the day. I mean different faiths can say prayers, some can meditate, some can just sit down there. Don't just wake up in the morning.
Speaker 2:The first thing you do is to pick your phone and start going on Instagram. You might meet somebody that you might not like, or trying to check your WhatsApp, who have sent you message over the night. Wake up, appreciate that you are alive at that time. Meditate okay, if you have schedules for that day. Meditate how you're going to go through everything, either positive or negative, but make sure that it's positive energy, all true, while you're on the bed. So that sorts so many things out. First, because you're already prepared for the day. Then you now pick up your phone and start all that in. So then, the moment you pick up a phone, then you started having some nature coming. Your phone, your test, can even trigger you because at the time before you even pick that phone. You're very set to that in your spirit. Yeah, okay, I will attend this to this later. Um, it not can be on your door. It it might be something. That's a delivery and the delivery driver is even trying to locate your house. He has gone to drop your stuff somewhere else.
Speaker 2:I mean, so many things start happening the moment you step out of your bed. Yes, but if you remember what you have solved even before leaving that bed, you easily say okay, that's it. Because sometimes I go about want to take pictures with people and it can frustrate you, but instead I said no, I know I've already emphasized this person is going to do this way. So because I've already forgiven that person even before he made that attempt of uh me stress, so I would still say smile. My smile will knock that particular negative vibes out.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Even though I'm not comfortable with what she's doing. But just smile, just smile. I mean it's even better for you to smile than to have wrinkles on your face, because sad face creates more wrinkles. Your intestine, your body, your esophagus, your heart, everything they respond positively to smile. So why not? That's free.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Than for you to put some toxic into your spirit. Yeah, wow, I mean mean you might get angry with somebody today and that might be the only thing the person knows about you. That's anger so why not give people beautiful impression anytime they meet you? So they just conclude in their mind that, oh, this person is always smiling, but you got angry sometimes. But it's not 90% of the energy you dissipate. You dissipate more positive energy and people will just cry oh, he's always smiling.
Speaker 2:Not that you don't get angry, but you have mastered it by. So anytime you wake up from bed and you don't observe some of those things, you already know yourself that, ah, I didn't observe this in my regular routine. Now you are now scared.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that somebody might come and bad energy might come. But if you have done it more, even though you forget to do it in some other instances, you'll be able to master how you deal with people. Now you are now conscious that from the Uber driver to your neighbor we'll make noise, we with people. Now you're you're not conscious that from the uber driver to your neighbor will make noise, will step on your toes, but in your, in your consciousness, peace. Forgive them before it happens. So I do more of forgiving before people act negative to me.
Speaker 1:Wow, that resonates everything for me wow, you do know there's a psychology behind everything you've just said. There is a psychology behind it. You've just succeeded in describing mindfulness.
Speaker 2:Mindfulness.
Speaker 1:Mindfulness in you being present To your environment, but you have to be present with yourself. First, check in with yourself, present with yourself, and then you be aware of what is going on within yourself. Yeah, but you're not going to judge it. Because for you to say you'll forgive before they even do it, it means you've decided I know what you're doing, I see what you're doing, but I've chosen not to judge you. And that is enlightenment. And in in energy psychology, you know, enlightenment is the highest.
Speaker 1:A lot of people would think love and joy is the highest. No, in energy, psychology, enlightenment when you're enlightened about things, because that's when you're enlightened about this, about who you are, about your environment, because you even said I know you're going to stress me, but I'm forgiving you ahead of time that know you're going to stress me, but I'm forgiving you ahead of time. That's enlightenment. Enlightenment is 700. That is the energy level, right where we have peace at 600, and then we have joy at 540, wow, and then you're going to not have, um, it goes, it just goes down.
Speaker 1:But the lowest is shame, which is 20, and then the second lowest is 30, which is guilt, and then undread with fear. So this is why, when you see people exhibiting this energy, these are, these are the things. They are at a lower level, but they can eat. Don't, don't, but don't miss, don't misunderstand, underestimate them, because they can contaminate your energy. So you need to remain at that place of enlightenment.
