YOUNG CEO WINS 5MILLION NAIRA, A BRAND NEW CAR AND GETS OTHER FREEBIES!

Let’s Chat...?
You've got to meet this bundle of energy  and surprises.
 
Iroghama Ogbeifun is from Benin City, Edo state, the first girl and second child in a family of seven children, with a first degree (BSc) in Biology and Psychology from the University of Massachusetts Boston and an MSc in Public Health and Health Promotion from Brunel University London. In 2011, she received an Eagle Award by Quantum Projects for Youth and Entrepreneurship. She is the CEO of Hairven,  manufacturers of products for the care of hair extensions and natural hair. When asked about her company she says, "We are passionate about teaching women how to have healthy hair whether you have relaxed hair, natural hair, coloured hair or bleached hair, at Hairven we believe you can have long, strong, healthy hair. And we are dedicated to providing products and hair regimens to help women achieve this. We are also constantly trying to develop innovative hair products that will fill needs of women in this environment. Right now we have 2 hair product ranges: our introductory range 'The weave care range which comprises of Shampoo, conditioner, serum and leave in conditioner' and 'The Healthy Hair range which comprises of Shampoo, conditioners, protein treatment, detangling leave-in mist, tea tree and castor oil".
 
Iro as she is fondly called saw a need in the industry and came up with a concept to meet that need. Also, through the HAIRVEN Representative program, women from all walks of life can distribute their weave care products and learn how to treat weaves so as to serve as an additional stream of income. They have doctors, students and house wives currently distributing their products.

She says that the book that has influenced her life the most is Ben Carson's Gifted Hands, because it inspired her at such a young age and made her believe she could be whoever she wanted to be as long as  she believes and works hard to achieve it.

It is no wonder she is the winner of The Next Titan Reality TV Show, as she showed  hard work and perseverance for the 13week period.

When asked if she played any sport, she laughed and replied " Hahahahahahha. Well, I was an active athlete throughout my life up until final year in university. Nowadays I try to participate in dance fitness classes and aerobics. Fun for me is curled up on my sofa watching TV, preferably crime inclined series or reading crime novels. I also love going to the cinema. I like the popcorn"

Iro's favourite quote is "Don't sit down and wait for the opportunities to come, go out and make those opportunities"

In giving her winning formula, Iro advices to the youth to "first of dream, and dream big. After you have dreamt up your idea, take action. Start from where you can start and build upon that. You don't need all the money in the world so don't let the absence of it keep you from achieving your goals or even starting. If you decide that entrepreneurship is not for you and you would prefer to carve a career path, then do it with all gusto. Set yourself apart with your work ethics, your values and most importantly, your integrity. It might seem like the longer road, but the reward ahead would be priceless. Be a big dreamer but most importantly be an even bigger doer! It is okay to dream big, and not focus on the supposed impossibilities of your dream, just start from where you are, start small and you will surely grow! Stay Focused and most importantly BELIEVE in you and your idea!"

You've heard it all from Iro, so simply believe in yourself.
