Learn from Dayo's story and life experience. Be strong, Be focused, don't be limited by your circumstance. I've had the rare opportunity of meeting Mr Dayo for a period. He is a man of honour and repute. Very humble and selfless. One day, he drove his mum home from church, we were together. Then I saw the smiles on the face of his mum. She was so proud to have him. And I actually told her congrats for having Dayo as a son. And her smile was like "I don't need to be told, I know!!!" lol.
