I learned that prestigious institutions like Oxford and Cambridge do not advertise for students; they produce excellent results and attract applicants based on their reputation. Similarly, some universities come to Nigeria to scout for students.
I was advised to let the results of my work speak for themselves. When people saw the positive outcomes of our efforts, they began to bring their children to our schools and attend our conferences without the need for aggressive advertising.
Churches and companies started to treat me with respect, and I received more valuable gifts. As we continued to improve, criticism diminished, leaving only a few disgruntled individuals.

I remain your friend, Dr. Charles Apoki. You are my responsibility.
