Ikenna Okpala might be visually impaired but that has only gone to heighten his third eye and olfactory sense. He turned the loss of sight, which may seem an impediment

to others, into lemons- first by acquiring a Law degree and specialising in Corporate and Commercial Law- and secondly, veering into perfumery and cosmetics.

No items leave the shop without being paid for and I can operate the computer as I check through to know what it’s left on the shop floor. I also have someone at the back end, a remote staff who sees exactly what happens in the shop. I would say I’m in total control but I must tell you that I have a team and I believe in teamwork. I have people who bought into my vision and we are trying to see how we can make that vision actually realisable.

So for me, that is the thing as I just believe that even if it appears that the future looks bleak in actual fact, it’s the other way round. The future is very bright and I must say that the lost of sight for me has actually strengthened the sight of the mind, the sight of the inner mind that’s the third eye, so things that people don’t get to see I’m seeing it and I can relate with it.
