Nigerian media personality Chude Jideonwo has made a huge announcement on his Instagram page.
The media personality, who has become well known for his interviews, especially with celebrities, revealed that he had been appointed a Creative-in-Residence at the London School of Economics. He stated that his appointment is an unexpected news that can blow one’s mind.
He noted how, years back, he made a decision that changed his life, which was to focus on work, never hustle and let the universe do the rest. He added that after Yale and Oxford, he decided he would not apply for any fellowships or residences and wanted only to be invited based on his impact, regardless of the consequences
The media personality added that amid inevitable doubt, the Universe always sends a big message of affirmation, and he is honoured and thankful for his new appointment.
He expressed how excited he is to collaborate with the school’s faculty, students and networks to accelerate the growth of the creative economy across Africa.
“So I have a big announcement.
I thought they were going to wait until the more formal announcement, but two weeks ago, they let the cat out of the bag:)
I have just been appointed Creative-in-Residence at the London School of Economics.
The kind of unexpected news that blows your mind.
Many years ago, I made a decision that changed my life: Focus on the work, never hustle, and let the universe do the rest.
After Yale and Oxford and all of that, I decided I would no longer apply for any fellowships or residencies. I wanted only to be invited – based on the impact of our work. I was almost certain it would take about 10 years for any of that to happen (I mean, who do you think you are?), and I was comfortable with that consequence. I would focus on the work I had chosen.
And then, in the midst of inevitable doubt, the universe always sends a big message of affirmation.
I am honoured and thankful.
I look forward to collaborating with the school’s faculty, students and networks to accelerate the growth of the creative economy across Africa.
The work continues”.
Many took to his comment section to congratulate him on his new feat.
Mo Abudu wrote, “My darling Chude, I am so proud of you. This is awesome. Much love always
Kemi Adetiba wrote, “Congratulations”.
Just a day back, Mary Njoku had written a note to her late sister as she beat 170 successful Entrepreneurs from 48 countries to win Harvard University, OPM64 Idol.
Describing her new feat as surreal, she expressed sadness that her sister wasn’t alive to share the moment with her.
