Quotes Those leaving the country believe the economy is not working and encouraging, they believe leaving the shores of the country to foreign countries could make their life better but I want to believe that in a matter of months or years, things will get better and people will start believing in the project called Nigeria. There is hope for Nigeria and the hope is here. I am proud to be a Nigerian not because I am a politician but because I believe Nigeria will bloom again. I will encourage the youths to stay back and be a blessing to the country. If we all leave by the time the country needs us what are we going to tell our own kids? Nigeria youths need to stay back and fix the country together. Sesi interview response to the question 'Nigerian youths are migrating in droves, yet people like you have chosen to stay in Nigeria, why? What would you be telling those who are Japazying,’ migrating to other countries?' No, I came from a political background, so it runs in my blood. My parents were active politicians. I had always been a philanthropist all my life and it doesn’t have anything to do with politics, it is a vision on its own. Although I have used my foundation to do some projects in my constituency before now. Sesi interview response to the question 'With lots of humanitarian gestures you have carried out in Badagry, some regard you as a philanthropist. Is that what makes you feel you can do better in politics?' I can only state a few things we have done through the foundation, we have renovated hospitals, built schools, empowered lots of people through skills, fixed roads like Ijotun-Ajarakoh, Ipaara – Kogakoh, Agunmo, Ilé-ọba – Ozuba, Eyekole – Gomajayi, Ozuba – Zunve, Ilogbo – Iyesi and Health Centre road, Isamo. The foundation has also been involved in helping the government in material things just for the wellbeing and conveniences of people of Badagry. Sesi interview response to the question 'Tell us more about your foundation who has been involved in empowering the Badagry people before now?' I said it earlier that I came from a political background, my dad was also a politician, so I was born in it. I grew up to see the ways things are being done politically and I have always been preparing for this stage. When I came back to Nigeria from UK, I became the sole owner of Fab Pharmaceuticals license in Nigeria, I was supplying surgical devices to most hospitals across the country and later on I moved into real estate before giving full attention to my political career. Sesi interview response to the question 'Before coming into politics, what were you doing for a living and how did you impact on your people?' I was discouraged by older people, simply because they didn’t want to leave the occupied vacuum, so they did a lot to discourage me but I am a man of vision and I stuck to my dreams and to the glory of God it’s paying off for me. At one point, I was frustrated but never gave up. Sesi interview response to the question 'What were the challenges you faced as a young politician and how did you surmount the hurdles?'
