[dropcap]T[/dropcap]op Nollywood actress, businesswoman, philanthropist and true Style Raven, Chika Ike, took to Instagram a few hours ago to announce that she’s just been accepted to the prestigious Harvard Business School “executive MBA program” after 5 years of trying!
The Anambra State-born producer of the TV show, African Diva, couldn’t contain her excitement as she shared the news today, Monday, July 3, 2017, with the following message:
“That unfathomable joy you feel when you get accepted into Harvard for your Executive MBA. I finally got accepted into Harvard business school for my masters. After trying for 5 years and getting rejected. Yes ! The prestigious Ivy League University… Yippee….I’m super excited….The good part is it’s an executive study so I can work ( as an actress, Tv host and CEO) and school…
I started business at age 17 and I’ve been doing this solely on self-knowledge and instincts, I think it’s time to horn my business skills from the mother of all business schools so I can have a sustainable company.
God is awesome, he has done so much for me, looking at all my achievements so far. His grace has been with me all through. Doors that people said will never open, opened for my sake.
May he give you a blessing that looks like a lie such that people will question your blessings because of its magnitude. May your Enemies be confused and in awe of your blessings.
May he give you reasons to smile as you rise in style and in glory. God is no respecter of man and doesn’t care how anyone feels about your blessings. My story so far has truly been his divine Grace…… one advice …Never ever give up!”
While this news may come as a surprise to many, her loyal fans wouldn’t be too shocked as Chika has been subtly showcasing her entrepreneurial spirits launching one business after the other. In fact, her manager Serah Donald recently announced her Chika’s foray into real estate investment.
Chika Ike is a graduate of Human Kinetics and Health Education from the University of Lagos. In addition to acting and building her business empire, she is the founder of the Chika Ike Help A Child Foundation and serves as a UN Refugee Ambassador for displaced persons.
It should be noted that Harvard doesn’t offer an EMBA program, however, according to the school’s website, “as an alternative to an executive MBA program, Harvard Business School offers an accelerated learning experience that transforms the world’s most promising managers into the next generation of powerful leaders—the Program for Leadership Development (PLD)”
However, this is really great news and a huge inspiration to women and young Africans! We’re super proud of Chika Ike!
From the horse’s mouth…
