Born and raised in Ghana, Elijah always had a deep desire to make a difference in the lives of his fellow countrymen. He understood the struggles many Ghanaians faceβlimited access to accurate information about travel opportunities, scholarships, work visas, and immigration updates. Misinformation and exploitation often left many feeling hopeless, their dreams slipping through their fingers. But Elijah saw an opportunity to change this narrative.
Elijah took a bold step toward his own dreams by moving to the UK as an international student to study Nursing. It was a challenging transition, but his determination to succeed never wavered. Little did he know that this journey would ignite a passion within him to help others navigate the same path.
Elijah began sharing his knowledge and experiences on TikTok, creating a platform he called Tips and Gist. His goal was simple yet profound: to provide accurate, reliable, and actionable information to Ghanaians and Africans seeking opportunities abroad. But the road was far from easy. As a newcomer to the UK, he faced skepticism and harsh criticism. Comments like βWhen did you come to the UK?β and βShut up, you talk too muchβ were common. Behind the camera, Elijah often found himself in tears, battling self-doubt and even depression.
Elijahβs passion for helping others was stronger than the negativity he faced. He knew that his mission was bigger than himself. With unwavering determination, he expanded his teachings to YouTube, creating a space he called Classroom. Here, he hosted live sessions, breaking down complex topics like visa applications, scholarship opportunities, and immigration updates. His authenticity and dedication began to resonate with thousands of people, and his platform grew into a trusted resource for those seeking guidance.
Today, Elijah stands as a symbol of hope and resilience.
