In
December 2008, a major thing happened to my life. I became an expatriate! Now,
this is something that I had never dreamt of in my wildest imagination. The
closest I came was to always desire to be a missionary... I kid you not!
Wore a co-workers wig while waiting to have a meeting going |
The
truth is, I am not the same passionate visionary that entered Uganda close to
five years ago. It is so amazing how a small period of five years can pass by
in a flash...and it is so amazing how much life can change within that small
period of time.
When
I came to Uganda,
- I had no definite Life Purpose
- I had no personal vision…
- I had never defined my values…
- I did not have any goals...just wishes…
- I was unmarried…
My Lovely Ugandan (and Only) Wife - I did not have any writing to my name…
- I had never led an organization at a Country Level…
- I had never stepped into a TV Station…
- I had never hosted a radio show…
- I had never run a marathon...
- I did not have any children…
- I had never ever driven a vehicle…
- I had never owned a vehicle…
- I had never spoken to more than 500 people at one go coming from around East Africa…
- I had never personally spoken to an author and educationist to the level and rank of Fagil Mandy
- I had never shared a platform with the C.E.O of Success Africa, Ethan Musolini
- I had never driven to my home town and village in my own vehicle…
- I did not have the foggiest idea what Life Signatures was!!!!
- I had never spoken to any Rotary Club…let alone becoming a Rotarian…
- I had never heard my exit and entry from one country to another talked about on a mainstream Christian Station…
- I had never taken in my house and cared for a group of 5 orphans for a whole month without stress…
Yet as I write today, all these
things and many, many more are now a perfect reality. All these things
transpired while I was in Uganda. It was in Uganda that I downloaded my
passionate Life Purpose and came up with Life Signatures, which is set to
explore to the scene international in the next two years.
Ladies and gentlemen…a time has come
for me to move on. As you read this, I am probably in Accra Ghana, the next
destination of my next phase of life.

As you can see, Uganda has done me
well. My stay in Uganda was never any doubt a mistake. I can tell you this:
that the most crucial phase of my life has been the past four years spent in
Uganda…and I will never be the same again.
Knowing what I now know, I am more
than excited to have this awesome chance to inspire hope and enrich lives
world-wide, the center of focus being Ghana. Life is an adventure, and this
visionary is taking another one.
Join me, you are about to be
blessed.
Nice..all the best in Accra..hope to catch up one day.
