Background My name is Funsho Adewale, better known as Funsho Install. I am a student of Babcock University, Ilishan Remo, Ogun State. I am in my final year, studying International Law and Diplomacy. I grew up in Mushin area of Lagos state. Childhood was not all perfect but we thank the Lord. Time changed, I learnt the hard way. Business Inspiration I am a short guy and I wanted to be relevant.

Motivation God first, focus on the career then every other thing next. No business is easy. My destination is m...
