Life often surprises us in the most remarkable ways. Recently, I received an unexpected email that left me astonished and profoundly grateful. The email was an invitation to membership at the International Society of Diplomats upon recommendation by the Special Emissary H.E Dr. Tasie Njemonwu Daniel to contribute to the propagation of Cyber diplomacy around the globe.
Upon my acceptance, I was put through the rigorous selection process of becoming a member and after months I was finally accepted and integrated into the organization which is an A Class universal diplomatic organization.
Yesterday the 8th of July 2024, by invitation to the Nigerian mission house by His Excellency Prof. Ambassador Ekpenyong, the Head of Mission and Nigeria Country Director, I was finally integrated as a member of the ISD and given the appointment to serve as an Special Emissary of the prestigious society.
The appointment was accompanied by an unexpected Global Diplomats Award to recognize my already existing efforts in the world of technology and cyber diplomacy.
Witnessing the appointment was my colleague Amb. Arc. Adebiyi Ayoyinka, who was also integrated into the membership of the ISD as a Special Emmisary alike.
I thank the Grand Global Council for the privilege given to me to serve in this office working hand in hand with government organizations and international bodies to make the world a place better than we have found it and pledge to put in the best of my knowledge and efforts as God may help me.
Reflecting on the Journey
This latest recognition led me to reflect on the milestones that have defined my journey thus far. In December 2022, I was awarded an honorary Doctorate Degree in Business Administration by the prestigious Irsbaccom University in Benin Republic. This recognition was for my immense contributions and dedication to service in the West African financial sector, particularly in the areas of cryptocurrency and forex trading, as well as my continued empowerment of the youth in the West African sub-region.
I was also honoured with the Business Creativity, Innovation, and Quality Service Delivery Award by African Brands & Silverbird Groups in October 2022
In 2023, I was further honoured with the Forex Consultant of the Year award by Scream All Youths. This accolade celebrated my hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence in the financial field.
That same year, I was also awarded Best Forex Strategies Analyst Issued by Trading.Live in Cyprus.
Impacting Lives Through PROBABA FX ACADEMY
One of the most fulfilling aspects of my journey has been the profound impact I’ve had on over 10,000 students and clients through my trading academy, PROBABA FX ACADEMY. Assisting individuals in achieving their trading goals has been immensely rewarding. By sharing knowledge, and practical insights, and providing essential tools and guidance, I’ve witnessed many of my students transform into confident and successful traders.
Gratitude for Support
None of these achievements would have been possible without the unwavering support of my incredible personal assistant, my ever-supportive fiancée, and my loving family. Their encouragement, patience, and belief in my vision have been the driving forces behind my journey. To them, I extend my deepest gratitude.
Looking Ahead
As I continue on this path, I am filled with a renewed sense of purpose and determination. The Global Diplomats Awards – International Society of Diplomats- is not just an honour but a reminder of the responsibility that comes with it – to continue fostering diplomacy, tolerance, and peaceful co-existence.
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Your support and encouragement mean the world to me.
