Owu Source Royal Nig. Ltd

The Story I Was Never Ready to Tell
The Sixth Part
That I tagged “I Outgrew My Own Name. And I Had to Be Honest About It.”

Let me be honest with you about something.

There is a particular feeling that comes with outgrowing something you love. Something you built with your own hands and named with your own heart.

It does not feel like victory. It feels a little like loss, even when it is actually progress.

Owu Source Royal had carried me from a corner spot in someone else's store to two locations in Ibadan. That name had my hometown in it. My roots. My grandfather. Everything I wanted to honour when I started.

But the vision had grown. And the name, as much as I loved it, could no longer carry everything I was building toward.

It was long. It was geographically attached to Owu and I was not just building for Owu anymore I am going global making the source proud, and the vision is long, confusion is setting in And honestly the business had expanded so far beyond its original scope that the name was no longer telling the truth of what we were.

Repair. Diagnosis. Sales. Device swapping. Training. Accessories.

All things Apple and other Smartphones

I needed a name that could hold all of that. A name with no ceiling.

A name built for where I was going, not just where I had been.

So the new name was born.

And the tagline "All Things Apple. One Royal Standard" came from a very simple question I asked myself.

What is the one thing I want every customer to feel when they interact with this brand?

Royalty. Like they matter. Like their device matters. Like the person serving them actually cares.

That is the Royal Standard.

Now I want to share something personal here. Something I have not really talked about openly.

Because of what happened in 2017 the accident, the scars, the visible changes to my face, I became more private in public. Not in my work. Never in my work. But in being seen. In stepping forward.

In sharing my story.

I am a naturally outspoken person. Ask anyone who knows me. But for years I found myself pulling back from the full expression of that, from stages, from spotlights, from letting the world see me completely.

Until last year.

I was invited to speak at Federal Polytechnic Ede. I went. I stood in front of a room full of young people and I spoke from everything I had lived. I gave to the student body. And when it was over I sat quietly and felt something I had not felt in a long time.

I felt good about being seen.

And I realised the world does not need a perfect face. The world needs a real story.

And This is Mine.

And I’m ready to tell it over and again until no one is left behind.

No matter what the circumstances are, surrendering must never be in their option.

By the grace of God two or more things wll. happen tomorrow morning,

1.I am completing the story tomorrow morning.
2.I am unveiling the new name tomorrow morning
3.I am going to name the winner of the “guess the new name” contest
4.I have small gift for people tomorrow as part of the many things that will happen tomorrow.

By the grace of God Tomorrow will be eventful and My story so far will be concluded and I believe the next level of my live will not be private as I will be building in public henceforth.

I will share, I will educate and I will learn from all of you.
Thank you and see you tomorrow.

The Story I Was Never Ready to Tell
The fifth part
That I will tag “I Built a Company. Two Years After That Accident.”

My story is not all doom and gloom.

Because I chose to fight rather than surrender

Year 2019

Two years after that accident.

Two years of healing physically, emotionally, in ways I am honestly still discovering. Two years of showing up to work every day with a body that was still remembering what it felt like before. Two years of fixing phones, saving money, refusing to let any difficult day become an excuse to stop.

I called my brother and mentor whose name I will mention specially at the end of this story and told him I want to start my own business and I think it is time to build. With his aid, advice and close mentorship

Owu Source Royal Nigeria Limited was born.

I named it after where I came from. Owu. My roots. My grandfather the king. The town that made me, even before the world knew my name.

Because I have always believed this that no matter how far you go, if you forget where you came from, you lose something essential about who you are.

The company started small. As it should.

One location. Iwo Road, Ibadan. That junction if you have been there you know it is not a place for the faint hearted. It is busy, competitive and full of people who have seen many small businesses come and go.

But I brought something they had not seen enough of in that market.

A standard.

Not a perfect operation, I was still learning, still growing. But a genuine commitment to doing things the right way. Diagnosing properly. Using quality parts. Being honest with customers. Treating every device like it mattered.

And word moved. The way it always does when something real exists in a market full of imitations.

People started talking. Sending their friends. Coming back themselves.

Then four years ago, we opened the second location at Mokola.

I remember walking into that space for the first time after we set it up and just standing there. Looking at it. Thinking about how it all started at Top success the corner spot where the dream's foundation was built. Thinking about Apomu. Thinking about that hospital bed.

And thinking - by the grace of God - look at this.

Two locations. My own. Built from nothing.

But even as I was celebrating something was stirring.

The name. The name I had loved and carried for years.

Then my ambition to concure the world.

Then something shift and a signifiacant milestone was born.
What it was, you will know it tomorrow

The Story I Was Never Ready to Tell
The fourth part
Which I tagged: "The two words that kept me building."

While I was fighting for my life
Someone asked me — while I was still in that hospital bed — what was keeping me going.

I did not need to think about it.

MY SIBLINGS.

That was my answer. Two words. And I meant every letter of both of them.

Now before I go further, I need to say something important. Because this part of the story could easily be misread if I am not careful about how I tell it.

I have a twin brother.

And if you know anything about twins, you know that a twin is not just a sibling. He is the person who has been there from the very beginning. Before the world. Before names. Before any of the things that happened to us happened to us.

We lost our parents together. We grieved together. We figured out how to keep going, together. There were seasons where he held me up and seasons where I held him. That is what twins do. That is what brothers do. And I want to say clearly, whatever I was able to do for our siblings, I did not do it alone in spirit. My brother was there. Beside me. Part of the journey in ways that this post cannot fully capture.

So when I tell you what I am about to tell you, please understand that I am not standing here saying "look at me." I am saying "look at what loyalty looks like when two people who have nothing decide that nobody they love will be left behind."

People who know me know that I do not talk about my siblings much publicly. Not because I am not proud of them, I am incredibly proud of every single one of them. But because what I did was never for applause. It was a promise I made to myself before and in that hospital bed when I need a reason to keep fighting to stay alive. And promises made in private don't need to be performed in public.

But today, since I am telling the full story, let me say it clearly.
We lost both parents before adulthood. Our siblings lost them too. And somewhere in the middle of everything I was going through the accident, the recovery, the building, the grinding, I made a decision that they were not going to be left behind.

Not one of them.

University fees. I paid them. One by one. While I was still a young man building my own business from nothing. While I was saving every naira from fixing phones in a corner of someone else's store. While my own future was still uncertain, I was funding theirs.
I am not telling you this so you can praise me. Honestly it is what any older sibling would do if they could. I just happened to be in a position where I had to figure out how to be able to. And I had a brother who never once made me feel like I was doing it alone.

And then last month
My birthday came. And one of my sisters sent me a message.
Attached to the message was a document.
Her appointment letter into the Osun State Teaching Service.

A career. Real. Official. Documented.

And her caption — ehn, this one finished me completely: "Dear brother, here is your birthday present. This is your win."

She said THIS IS YOUR WIN.
Not our win. Not her win. MY win.

I sat with that message for a long time. And the first person I thought about after reading it was my twin. Because he knows what it cost. He was there for the cost. And that win belongs to both of us in ways that one caption cannot fully hold.

A teaching career. Given to me as a birthday present.
Some people get cakes. Some people get watches. I got an appointment letter.

And I would not trade it for anything in the world.
That right there, that is why I kept going. That is why the accident could not stop me. That is why leaving was never an option.

My siblings needed me.
And I showed up.
We showed up.
If you've been showing up for your siblings too when it is easy to do, and when it isn't, I'm sure you will share this.
Nothing actually brings you more joy than having the back of those that matters.
Tomorrow is part five and it is tomorrow I will tell you the theme.
It is getting interesting and it is taking a new dimension tommorow
Have a good night rest.

From one small corner spot in Ibadan… to two growing locations.

What many people see today started in a borrowed space, with little resources, big dreams, and hands willing to work.

No shortcuts.
No overnight success.
Just consistency, sacrifice, and the courage to start small.

Every device fixed, every customer served, every lesson learned built this journey brick by brick.

And this?
This is only the beginning.

A new chapter is loading.
The unveiling is closer than ever.

Stay with us. The best is still ahead.

The Story I Was Never Ready to Tell
The third part
Which I tagged “The Road.”

This is the chapter I have kept the most private. For years, very few people outside my close circle knew the full details of what happened in 2017. And those who knew, I asked them not to make it a topic.

I could not even visit Orile-Owu, my beloved town for 4 years after.

Not because I was hiding. But because I was healing. And healing is a private thing.

But I am ready now. So here it is

I was on my way to source a spare part. A customer had brought in their phone and I needed a specific component to complete the repair. I got on the road. Not for any other reason, just to do my job well. To serve a customer who was waiting.

The accident happened.

I will not go into every detail because some things do not need to be described to be understood. What I will tell you is this, it was severe.

The kind of thing where people around you start making phone calls in hushed voices and you can tell from the way they are moving that this is serious.

I was rushed from one hospital to another before I was finally admitted and stabilized.

I spent months in intensive care.

The accident took one of my ears completely. The side of my face was disfigured but not disabled.

These are scars I carry to this day, that the world can see.
And I can say boldly that I’ve not been the same ever
Family came. My people showed up. Friends trooped in.
And I am grateful, genuinely grateful, because not everyone has that. Some people go through their worst moments alone. I did not. People who loved me filled that hospital space and I will never forget that.

But let me tell you about the battle that nobody could fight for me.

The one happening inside.

Lying in that bed, scarred, in pain, looking at a face in the mirror that had been permanently changed by something I never chose, I
had to decide something.

Not whether to feel pain. I felt it. Deeply.
Not whether to grieve what was lost. I grieved it.
But whether after all of that I was going to keep going.

The answer came to me clearly. And tomorrow I will tell you exactly where it came from.

All I will say today is this

The accident changed my face. It did not change what was inside me.

And what was inside me was always going to win.

What the road took from me, I got it back and I will tell you how I did it tomorrow.

Share this and lets inspire somebody tonight, they should read my story and know that trying again is a must and they must never let their circumstances win over them.

See you tomorrow when we will be taking on the next chapter that I called “Two Words. The two words that kept me alive and building”

The name is changing.

The standard Is'nt.

Same hands that have fixed thousands of iPhones across Ibadan.

Same heart that has always put you first.

New name.
New level.
Bigger vision.

And we are just getting started.

5 days to go. ⏳

What started as a vision is about to take a new shape.
Not just a new name.
Not just a new look.
A new standard. A new level. A bigger mission.

The journey has been built with consistency, sacrifice, growth, and the hunger to become more.

And now… it’s almost time.

Stay close.
Monday changes everything.

The Story I Was Never Ready to Tell

The second part

Which I tagged The Decision.

When secondary school ended, there was nobody. Nobody to pay higher institution fees. Nobody to call. Nobody to tell me which direction to face.

Then I made a Decision

Yes. I Went to Learn Phone Repair. And I’m Not Apologizing for It.

Royal house. Private school. Sharp boy. And then... phone repair?

Yes. Phone repair.

And I want to address that directly, because I have seen the look on people's faces when I tell them.

That slight pause. That "oh" that carries a whole conversation inside it.

Here is what I want you to understand.

At 19years old , with no parents, no sponsor, no backup plan, I had a choice.

I could wait for something to happen. I could feel sorry for myself. I could let the gap between where I came from and where I was standing swallow me whole.

Or I could move.
And I chose to move.

I went to Apomu, a town not far from my Orile Owu roots, and I presented myself as someone willing to learn. Phone repair. From scratch. With my own two hands.

Ehn, let me not lie to you, it was not easy at all.

Support from home? Thanks to everyone that showed up for me.
But the conditions were tight.

There were days I was genuinely hungry. There were nights the loneliness was louder than anything else in the room.

I was a young man from a royal house sleeping in humble conditions and learning a trade that many people around me probably looked down on.

But I want to tell you what I discovered in Apomu,
I discovered that there is a dignity in learning with your hands that no classroom can give you.

I discovered that the satisfaction of taking something broken, completely broken, and making it whole again is one of the most powerful feelings a human being can experience.

And I discovered that the skills you earn through difficulty are the ones that nobody can ever take from you.

I learned.
I practiced.
I failed.
I tried again.
I got better.
Then I got very good.

When I finished my apprenticeship I did not go back home and wait. I rented a small shop in Apomu, and started my own practice immediately. Then I moved to Iwo. Then I made the biggest move of all.

Ibadan.

To be sincere with you, Those years shake me to my core.
I arrived in Ibadan with no connections, no investor, nothing. Found a corner spot inside someone else's store.

It gave me hope to see what is possible and allow me to dream of what I can become.

Paid to use that small space inside Top success and I had a fresh begining.

Set up my tools. And started again.
Every day. Fixing phones. Saving money. Studying the market. Investing in better equipment. Improving my skills. Waiting for my moment.

And then, in that moment, just when things were beginning to look up, the road had other plans for me.

I was not ready for what was coming. Nobody ever is.

And my story change forever

God willing tomorrow I will continue from here and I will call the next chapter "The Road."

Kindly share to give this a wider coverage. somebody somewhere need this story to try again, and maybe this time they will get it right.

See you here tomorrow again while we continue.

Can you?
