Mrs. Roberta Edu Oyedokun, CEO of Moppet Baby Food Firm in Lagos, has shared an inspiring personal revelation about career transformation and self-development. While drafting a professional profile recently, she realized how much her career had evolved in just four years—a testament, she says, to the power of consistency and resilience.
In her reflection, Mrs. Oyedokun highlighted her current achievements: driving Moppet Foods’ expansion into major retail chains, securing government-backed partnerships with Community Health Centers, and forging alliances with NGOs. She also serves as an Ambassador for the Lagos State Health Insurance Scheme, advocating for family health access.
What struck her, however, was the absence of any mention of her previous decade-long experience in engineering, technology, media, and production. “Imagine if I didn’t have a profile before now,” she mused. “Yet, in my 30s, I built this resounding profile in just four years.”
Addressing those who might doubt such rapid transformation, she emphasized, “The problem is, we often think such change isn’t possible. But the truth is, you can change your life in four years. You can reshape your profile. You can become whoever you want, whether you’re in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or 50s.”
Her advice? “Do the hard things, show up consistently, and refuse to let challenges break you.”
Mrs. Oyedokun’s story serves as a powerful reminder that reinvention is possible at any stage—with determination and relentless effort.
