Award Winning Entrepreneur, Ifejika Charges Youths to Embrace Hardwork

By Praise Chinecherem

Chief Executive Officer of B-Lord Group of Companies and Bill Point App, Dr. Linus Williams Ifejika, has advised Nigerian youths to embrace hardwork, diligence and consistency in their endeavours.

He gave the advice at the 37th Annual General Meeting and awards and gala night in Enugu, organised by the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), South-East zone at the weekend.

Dr. Ifejika (BLord) is a pioneer Nigerian tech entrepreneur whose work is in crypto currency, real estate and digital finance.

He said professionals often attribute success to their ardent or natural ability or being gifted in their fields.

He, however, added that he had learnt from his experiences that for one to become successful, hard work, diligence and consistency are keys to achieve that.

Ifejika, recently awarded an honorary doctorate degree by St. Paul University Awka, Anambra State argued that while Nigerian youths pursued talents, they should also add hardwork.

He added, “I have since realised that hard work is more important than talent in achieving success.

“It is not enough to make effort and say we’ll make it; we must actually make the effort. It’s doing it, not just the thinking, that we accomplish our goals. Hard work is essential in accomplishing anything in life.

“Whether it is in your personal or professional life, success requires effort and dedication.

Ifejika was given an award of excellence in information Technology & Fintech Innovation by the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria MAN South East zone along with Barr Ifeanyi Ossai, Deputy Governor, Enugu State, Sen Osita Izunaso and Senator (Dr) Victor Umeh.

Others were Prof Obiora Okonkwo, Chief Dr Obinna Tochukwu Iyiegbu (Obi Cubana) Prof Joseph Ugboaja HRM (Dr) Oranu Chris Chidume and High Chief (Dr) Chris Ndubisi.”
