This is My Story: Surviving Through Street Smarts

In this episode, Pastor Tola Odutola shares his personal journey of survival and resilience. From selling goods at a young age to gambling his way through school, Pastor Tola’s story is one of grit and determination.

Growing up in a large family without many resources, he learned early on that life is about buying and selling. These experiences in the bustling motor parks of Okebala not only taught him street smarts but also survival tactics that have stayed with him throughout his life.

Despite the challenges, including street fighting and hustling for sales, Pastor Tola’s entrepreneurial spirit shone through. This mindset later influenced his decision to embrace a life of faith, where his foundational belief is that the good things in life are fought for—both spiritually and physically.
