The student-led programme brought together young voices to share ideas on confidence, creativity, resilience, and personal growth.
In the now-viral clip posted on his Instagram page, Boluwatife is seen standing confidently before his peers, speaking with calm assurance as he reflected on fear, determination, and self-belief. His words resonated deeply, not only for their meaning but also for his composure and stage presence at such a young age.
“What is the impossible? We call something impossible because it has never been done before. God is always by my side. Before I came up here, I was praying to myself, ‘God, please give me the confidence to overcome the nervousness I am facing,’” he said.
He continued, “I am going to make the impossible possible. Who are you to tell me I won’t succeed? Rome was not built in a day; don’t expect all your dreams to be achieved at once. You have to be ready to take losses because in life, not everything goes according to plan. And when you take a loss, you plan how to get back up and come back stronger.”
Since the video began circulating, it has drawn widespread praise from fans and observers alike. Many commended his clarity of thought, confidence, and maturity, while others highlighted the values reflected in his delivery, crediting his upbringing and support system.
The moment has further intensified public interest in the young Balogun, whose occasional online appearances continue to attract attention despite Wizkid’s preference for keeping family life private.
