I was mocked me when I started but today, Instagram has helped me build a brand known all over the world’ – Hushpuppi

IG celebrity, Ray Hushpuppi, took to his IG page this morning to share some motiviational talk while going down memory lane to when he started as an influencer on social media.

According to him, many people mocked him when he started to use Instagram to push his identity but today, he has through the social platform built a brand that is known all over the world and is financially rewarding for him. Read his piece below

I remember back in the days when we all started using Instagram, a lot of people threw shots at you for doing what you like, guess what? Those who were deaf to the negativity are what we call influencers today! SUCCESS , now has the shameless shouting , “I am a huge fan”. Today, so many brands cater and care about me, they treat me well and the benefits I get from them are huge! I have built my name into a brand known across the world, which has opened many doors for me in several aspects of life including financially! I am proud that I wasn’t discouraged by the nay sayers (mostly the ones from where I’m from who never want to see their own people shine)! I appreciate all those who have never stopped showing me love!

Really the moral of my story is, you have to believe in your dream more than anyone else! People will discourage you and mostly it’s not what you’re doing that they don’t like, what makes them uncomfortable is why YOU! Know your WHY, focus on it! Hear what they say but don’t listen! People advise you according to the season in their lives! Don’t let a man living in a cold country advise you where to by a coat in a desert! They judge you according to their ability, not yours! Most people these days are hypocrites, if they tell you that you can’t do it or u don’t do it well, don’t listen, they are only trying to break you so u can lose your spot then they later mock you for losing your spot. Stay glued to your dream, Don’t let them talk you into losing your spot, their only weapon is talk and their only achievement remains TALK.

The Nigeria Postal Service (NIPOST) has said it is working on a close partnership with the Lagos State Government to boost e-commerce in the state.

The Postmaster-General/Chief Executive Officer of NIPOST, Ms. Tola Odeyemi stated this on Wednesday during a courtesy visit to the State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

According to her, a partnership with Lagos State would enable the Service to optimize last-mile delivery and ensure seamless connectivity within the city and across the nation.

“The e-commerce sector is rapidly expanding, and Lagos is at the forefront of this growth. Through enhanced postal and logistics services, we aim to support small businesses and individuals participating in e-commerce,” she stated.

While noting that one of her primary goals, as the Postmaster-General, is to foster strategic partnerships that would enhance the efficiency and relevance of NIPOST’s services in a rapidly evolving world, the NIPOST boss said:

“I see Lagos State as a critical partner in achieving this vision, given its status as the economic hub of Nigeria.”

Odeyemi said the courtesy visit to Governor Sanwo-Olu shows the importance of partnership in governance and service delivery, saying NIPOST is ready to collaborate with the Lagos State Government to drive innovation, boost economic development, and enhance public service delivery.

She also praised the Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration for several programs held in December that attracted many people in the diaspora to travel to Lagos for ‘Detty December.’

Speaking earlier, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu charged the Postmaster-General to challenge the status quo for a sustainable change for today and future needs.

He urged the Nigerian Postal Service to use technology as an enabler to enhance the ease of doing business in Lagos State and Nigeria.

The Governor also reiterated the commitment of the Lagos State Government to collaborate with the NIPOST office service centres to improve its physical spaces and enhance e-commerce as well as the movement and sales of goods.
“You and your team need to think outside of the box make a difference and revamp NIPOST. Don’t be shy about challenging the status quo.

“Don’t be shy about saying you want to change what you met because the people who created those things several years ago did what was obtainable then. If you want an organisation that will meet today’s and future needs, change is a reality,” Governor Sanwo-Olu advised the Postmaster-General.
