My name is LUCKY AUTA from Akwanga Nasarawa State of Nigeria, I am born and brought up from the family of Late Auta which happens to be my father. I am the last Born of my parents which were blessed with four children but unfortunately one has visited the land of no return.
I live a life full of motivation because of the background that I come from, while growing i found out that my family is one of the poor families in my community, which is totally unbearable for someone like me who thought he has the spirit of leadership and commitment, someone who thinks he can solve every problem he encounter in life. Then I lost all hope and decided to continue living like the poor person nature has made me to be. But the question is do I deserve that?.
I, my mother and a family friend
I refuse to accept that poverty situation, I became self-motivated and I start to look for more ways to do away with poverty in my life, my family, and my entire community. With the motivations, courage and strength I developed within me, I was able to start up schooling in one of the Government Schools where less school fee is demanded and through the help of my mother the school fees has never been a challenge. I knew my success story had just begun when I dropped my last paper from the secondary school.
My final examination day at polytechnic Nasarawa
With the help of God, my mother and other brethrens today, I was able to to further my schooling into the Polytechnic and gradually I succeeded the tertiary institution and awarded a National Diploma certificate in Accountancy with the Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa, Nasarawa State in Nigeria.

Life was still full of struggle because I tried very hard to see that I further on with my education but there wasn't money to further into the University "All hands are not equal". But I haven't given up and I will never give up until I achieve what I want to achieve in life this is my determination.
As the last Born, my mother always love to teach me how to cook, which I do all the work with her. I learned how to cook since I was 7 years old, I developed allot of interest in cooking but all I could prepare then was my favorite which is Yam and sauce.
Cooking has become a passion and a hubby in my life.
My work
I learned a lot from my mom, I leaned baking of cakes, cooking deferent kind of foods both traditional, intermediate and some foreign kind of foods. I decided to improve more by joining Madam G. Events Planning and More, where I leaned more on events decorations such as wedding, birthdays etc... I also learned how to cook different kind of foods and preparing of different drinks, barking different cake and snacks.
Some of my decoration works
It was a joyful race learning all this, it made me know the different varieties of food and their taste I could also had experience of the lifestyle of different kinds of people during this period. I can now prepare different kinds of foods in my country and other country foods. I can also give one of the best decorations to different kinds of events.
I'm now running a full business as Events Planner with hope to achieve more.
Me and my colleagues at work
Making a choice of becoming an Event Planner didn't change any fact that I will still be an Accountant one day because that's my dream work but for now, I have to focus on my business which helps me gain some cash to settle my bills.
One good thing that I know is I will always do what I love to do, and focus on the work that put food on my table. I'm doing everything possible to see that I am providing the best services to my people. As we journey and thrive together on this space i shall load you all with varieties of food I do prepare and the beauty of the coloration of events I will be managing.
