Guardian Life Covers The Andela Story

1

Today, after mass, my dad as usual got his Guardian papers for today and imagine my suprise on pulling out Life magazine and seeing @Iyinoluwa Aboyeji Gracing the cover.

The story he has to tell is quiet a read but what makes it better is the recognition Iyin’s story has given the Tech industry and the success that could come from it. So I began to famz to my dad about how I knew when and how he started (lol) and the whole history of Andela. I even went as far as mentioning he is my online friend (another lol cus of radar). But after all the famzing (no shame here), I most importantly could mention my recent coverage on Techcabal because Andela has indeed proven that Tech could bring success afterall.

You can add another 10 years to that. Not a flattering photo at all.

In contrast, this photo was supposedly taken in 2015:

I guess they caught him on a bad day.

His neck has gotten thicker, temples are more pronounced…na extra consumption, couldn’t have met him at a better time.

These pictures though…

I remember when I looked like that…

It’s been a stressful year. Building the future is that hard.

On the day I took those pics I had spent my 72nd hour without sleep after a couple red eye flights around the US. (Don’t do this entrepreneurs)

Jeez. Take it easy bro. I recall when junior doctors in England used to just drop down dead like flies about 10 years ago due to 90-hour work week related stress.

Take it easy on yourself. The future will always be there.

Geez. Lots of ‘Ghana-Must-Go’ bags under those eyes.

Guardian didn’t even let the dude get a shape up.

Kudos to him anyway.
