According to him, growing up, he had a dream to
become an Army General. He was so passionate about this that he refused
to write the university entry exam (Jamb) when he was passing out of
secondary school. This, to him, was to make his parent give his ambition
their all.
However, after several failed attempts to secure an admission into the
Nigerian Defense Academy (NDA), he began to realize that he has to have
several other realistic plans – like become a successful
entrepreneur. But, the big question was, how was he going to achieve this feat?
According to Bonire, he let go of his military ambition and turned to plumbing which his father taught him.
However, after several failed attempts to repackage and promote his
plumbing business, shortly after graduating from the university, Femi
gave in to the challenges of paying the bills and took up a day job with
an insurance company and a bank in quick succession.
But, all along, his dreams of building his own business would not let him be.
Eventually, he resigned from the bank and went back fully into his plumbing business.
Although, he might still be having some other great business plans up
his sleeves, as far as plumbing is concerned, Bonire says he’s living
his dreams.
