Ajigbotafe, Olawale: Bucket List

Having to create a bucket list, I pictured myself in an ambulance being rushed to the hospital after a near fatal accident, what came to my mind were the things that I would love to do but have not done yet. The first thing that came to mind was to make Africa a place that’s worth living in. It makes me sick every single day when I think of what the governments in Africa are doing to the masses. I want to be the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria because I want to improve and ensure that the standard of living in Nigeria improves before I kick the bucket.


The other things I want to do are to be a successful multimillionaire just like Bill Gates or Alhaji Aliko Dangote, the business mogul from Nigeria. I want to be a successful business man like them but I’d use my money to help the needy, the poor homeless children, and those who aspire to go to school but who do not have the opportunity. I also want to go to Mount Everest but do not want to climb the mountain alone, I want to go to the mountain with my lovely wife, climb to the top of the mountain, and probably jump right down to the bottom of the mountain. I’d rather not end my life there, because I also wish to be anchoring the Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles giving awards to contemporary artists such as Usher, Timberland, 50cent, Mary J Blige and also to other artists who have been around such as R. Kelly, Boys II men and so many others.


In conclusion, I will love to be a successful man in business, love, adventure and leadership before I kick the bucket.
