Fupre TARFFIA

Wow a graduate that makes this interesting

So back in school how didn't you find the environment at first?

Hmm Fupre was not looking like the typical university I had imagined, was sort of discouraged, But being left with no other option, decided to make the best out of my stay in FUPRE TARFFIA and it was worth it

Fupre TARFFIA

Nice So during your struggle in Fupre what lightens your day most or what was your best part back then

In My days we were at agbarho hostel. After school, we always had this fun evening together, were we would talk about all issues and mimic our lecturers, you know students na and I also discovered that I had a passion for music and I explored it in my school days. Whenever I felt I needed a twist, I switch to my latest passion.... music.

Fupre TARFFIA

 Wow, So apart from mechanical engineering that you studied what other thing are you good at

Like I said earlier, am a musician also, gospel....i am currently the Assistant  music director of one of the best choir in the city of warri, the Pavilion worship treasures, PWT of the Covenant Christian Pavilion INT'L CCP. And also a resource Speaker, And a Politician.

Fupre TARFFIA

Amazing

Active music has been 7years, Politics 5years, and A speaker for about 5years

Fupre TARFFIA

Amazing, and what keeps you going

What keeps me going is in the knowing that people are tied to my Loins and I can afford to Fail. I see and hear of people doing Exploits each day, then why would I settle for an ordinary life, when I can get the best... Push myself beyond my limitations

Fupre TARFFIA

In the area of music now, have you written any song? And what's the title

And area of politics what post have you held so far or what post are you aspiring for

Because I know the community is really to support

And I know has a speaker you probably have written books or book and what's the title if you have one

I have beautiful soul lifting songs. Would be dropping an album soon. Our Father is one of my amazing tracks Testimony All the Glory I love you too. Amongst others All these will be available soon

As per politics I am currently a chief of the Agbarho Kingdom I was the Nimeche President Fupre TARFFIA chapter for two years. And I'm aspiring to lead my State someday if the opportunity rises...

Putting up a book now for the youths, titled. The advantage

Fupre TARFFIA

Thank you very much Mr ogugu

So what word of advice do you have for the next generation gospel musicians, speakers, politicians and mechanical engineers I.e those that are in your area of field and student in general

Your Life in General is a product of Decisions, where you are now is a product of the decisions you made yesterday. Live that dream today by making that decision to hold on strong and never give up even in the face of overwhelming challenges. Select your constituent very well, cos your future is too important to mortgage in the hands of wrong companions. Don't try to take the short cut always the long route pays at the end. Above all, Life without Jesus is meaningless and A total waste. That's the first decision to make

Fupre TARFFIA

And finally what do you have to say to Fupre TARFFIA

Fupre TARFFIA, you are doing an amazing work and I really want to appreciate you guys, amazing team work. The sky is your starting place. I Celebrate U
