I have a huge passion in weightlifting and boxing, when am not hitting the books, you will find me in the gym knocking out some serious stress. stick around and I will take you through a day in my digital life.

MORNING ROUTINE 5:00 - 5:15 AM

Being an early bird, my alarm sounds as early as 5:00 am, that is the time to kickstart the day. First things first I prepare my pre-workout drink, while scrolling through Instagram. Most of the content keeps me connected with friends and family back home. After 15 minutes of pure entertainment, I rush to the gym.

WEIGHTLIFTING SESSION 5:30 - 7:00 AM

Mornings are always for weightlifting. it's always an awesome feeling to see progress and attain a "godly" like physique. I usually enjoy my weightlifting session while listening to my favorite afro beats jam on sportify. Working out has always been a big part of my life as I aim to replicate the success of my role model, the 7x Mr. Olympia Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Sportify keeps me entertained throughout the whole journey, my playlists consist of a variety of songs from UK drill to afro beats. Music keeps me going throughout the day right am into Rotimi, his best song love riddim is just pure vibes, can't get it out of my head.

MY JOB AS A FORKLIFT OPERATOR 4PM- 9PM

From uni I head directly to work, currently I work as a forklift driver ,it's a different kind of challenge but I enjoy it ,since it keeps me on toes, the job might not sound very interesting but mentally its quite satisfying , I do rely on various digital tools such as the (WMS) to track the warehouse inventory levels, deliveries and shipments, I also use an RF scanner to scan barcodes inoder to keep track of stock levels and shipment status .this technology  really comes in handy and makes my operation much smoother.

WEEKEND JOB AS A BARTENDER

I also work as a bartender on weekends, it's quite fascinating, I get to interact and socialize with a lot of people. one of the coolest parts about my job is using a digital point of sale to take orders, process payments and manage inventory all in one place.
