It started from Primary school
According to what she told legit.ng during her interview, she received the promotions because of her brilliance.
Her exceptional abilities and success started in primary school where she received double and triple promotions.
She graduated at age 14
Opemipo, who completed secondary education at the age of 14, fell victim to circumstances.
She spent four years at home because her parents lacked the resources to pay for her university education, as though fate had other intentions.
Opemipo chose to turn the lemons life gave her into lemonade rather than sit around expecting to start her university degree one day.
She claims that when she was at home, she started to develop her digital abilities. She self-taught 19+ skills (digital and soft skills) during that time (while she was at home), including video animation, audio editing, graphic design, brand identity design, photo restoration, and video/photo editing by doing research online and watching videos.
The journey to 121 certifications started with a course that captured her eye.There was no turning back for her after taking that online course since she became more eager and motivated to advance her knowledge and skills.
She has certificates from the WHO and other international organizations.
