FOCUS #2 -MEET THE CEO OF UNIVERSITY ANONYMOUS GIST.

-
I had an interview with Charles, the CEO of one of the fast growing university pages on Instagram,University anonymous gist.Charles is a student of University of Ilorin,studying Computer science.

How did UAG start?

   UAG started as a joke,I just wanted to do something fun.I wanted a platform where I could connect students and give them the opportunity to say what's on their minds without the fear of the school.A platform where,whatever they have to say is anonymous.

 What inspires you to keep the brand going?
The people I had around me.My first recruits,Hassanah,Joke,Oju uhm..Seyi,Waheed and Nana inspired me.They made me see UAG as something that would go far and not just end after my four years in the university.


 Apart from UAG,what other thing(s) are you passionate about?
Uhm..the internet.I'm always on the internet. Don't give me food,just give me the internet and I'm okay.I'm also passionate about listening to people,hearing their ideas and making it a reality.I'm just passionate about anything fruitful. You might say because I'm an Ibo boy,I'm passionate about anything that brings in money.

 Lol! Baddest! Since you said you are passionate about the internet, how can young entrepreneurs like yourself, use the internet in a productive way?
  
Okay, in this country,Nigeria, the internet is being abused which we all know.The internet has helped me and it can help a lot of people. There are many jobs online like,Forest trading,marketing,so many of them.You can work from home,while in school without any stress, a web designer, online PRO,You don't have to meet anybody,anywhere.

So,where do you see UAG in the nearest future?
Wow.I see it being a very huge brand, a media company. That's the extent I'm willing to work. Not just in UNILORIN because I also have University anonymous gist connecting all universities.I see UAG creating job opportunities for students in every university.

 What Quote do you live by?
Keep grinding.No matter what you do,keep on working towards your goal.Even if you are losing, keep on moving. That has been keeping me going right from day one.

 So,who is your celebrity crush?
Chidinma..lol..I like Chidinma because she looks like someone I would want to spend the rest of my life with.
   
Thank you for your time.

Post written by :Jayjay Folayan The doors open, you walk in with your friends. You’ve all got matching tees/jeans/shoes/hairstyles or are just coordinating colors. Everything is in slow mo. People gasp and gush as they look at you. That’s right, you’re with your squad. Being part of and maintaining a squad is not easy as it looks. Don’t get me wrong, I am an advocate of interacting with everyone and anyone, but sometimes you need to surround yourself with people that understand you and understand themselves.

Ever woken up one morning thinking of the personal assignments, group assignments and exams you have to study for and you just stay in bed contemplating your whole Life? Then you struggle to stay off bed, freshen up and get to the road to board a cab to school but you get struck by the sight of the large number of people at the junction who are struggling to get cab to school. I have friends who tell me when they get to the junction and they see people struggling for cabs, they go back home to sleep. Thinking of the whole stress one has to go through in school then some thoughts crosses one’s mind ‘Do I really need this Degree?”
