BSA Foundation is set to commence robotic school for training of students of public secondary schools in Ogbomoso, Oyo state.

The CEO of the foundation, popularly called Booda Sunday Adeyemo (BSA), made this disclosure Tuesday at Emmanuel Agboola Baptist Grammar School (EABGS) while speaking with members of Blue House (which he adopted) and which emerged overall winner in the recently concluded annual interhouse sports competition in the school dubbed “Yajifarz Interhouse Sports EAGBS 2026.”

BSA said the foundation had an education consult arm which he disclosed had concluded plans to commence the robotic training session for the students across public secondary schools in Ogbomoso South local government. He added the students so trained would be exposed to competitions within and outside Nigeria to further develop their skills.

“I am about to start a robotic school,” he said while addressing the enthusiastic students. “We are picking good students from public secondary schools. Our plan is to make them attend international competitions.”

He assured he would make students of EABGS beneficiaries when the programme starts. “When we start, students of this school will be beneficiaries; we will train you, you will go for competitions within and outside the country. I want to tell you that if you are serious, that is how to start going.”

The businessman charged the students to focus on education solely and more importantly to be wary of friends who would exert bad influence on them, noting they are created for success.

He pointed out to the students that they were at a crucial stage in their lives explaining the choices they make today would determine what they become in the future while noting that not their background but the choices they make now that matter.

This is as he informed that as a child, he hawked goods, suffered poverty but that he shook them off to be what he is today while emphasizing keeping of good friends.

Chairman of BSA Foundation Booda Sunday Adeyemo addressing the students

“God created you for success, when God was creating human beings, he did not create some people to be failure. God created all of us to be success. What now determines what you will become, either success or failure, is the choice you make today. Success and failure are your choice. I also went to a public school. Throughout my secondary school, I hawked whatever is sold, I came from a poor family but I made the decision that I would not end up poor. I made a choice to become a successful person.

“The choice you make today will determine your tomorrow. God created everybody to be success but it is not automatic. You are in school and you are given assignment but didn’t do it, you are already making a choice to be failure, you are running after the opposite sex, you are already making choice of failure. If the devil wants to destroy your life, he will send a bad friend.

“So, let me ask you: what kind of friends are you making? Your friends will influence what you will become tomorrow. If you want to become great don’t joke with the people you call your friends. Keep friends that do well in academics, avoid moving with friends that do not have vision. Your friend either has positive or negative influences on you. You cannot have a good future with a bad friend. School is never a scam, don’t be deceived by yahoo-yahoo, you don’t need to do yahoo-yahoo to make it, I know young ones who make dollars legitimately. The summary of message is to pick good friends.”

The principal, Mr. Olufemi Ogunlana, corroborating BSA, reminded the students of a saying of a former president of the United States of America, Abraham Lincoln, that “It is not a crime to be born into a poor family but it is a crime to leave it unchanged.” He charged them to work to change the stories of their lives and families.

BSA informed that students have continued to enjoy the scholarship programmes of the foundation stating that a former head boy of the school (he identified as Teslim) is currently benefiting their scholarship programme at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, just as he promised to make gifts available to the best students during the school’s next prize and speech giving day.

He later presented souvenirs to students of Blue House, styled, “BSA House,” and took photographs with them.
