Buba Badjie
A Hero among Us
By Just
Valerie
At the age of 6 years old,
Buba parents sent him to live with his Aunt. In 1998 he became an orphan, he lost both father and mother within months
apart. Against all odds this brave determined young Warrior who as a child painted his feet black, because he had no shoes
to wear. This strong brother from the Jola tribe in The Gambia would never allow his hardships to blindside him from his goals.
His determination was a key to his current success, as one of the most sort after Veterinarian in Sweden.
Buba’s character has gained him respect, and admiration from all that knows
him. His story is more than a from rags to riches story, but more so of, we all are created equally. The key to this young
mans success is that he never allowed anyone to dictate who he was. He always knew who and what he was from birth. Buba wouldn’t
allow limitations to be placed on him. When told he couldn’t he prove that he could. Where most would stop, Buba would
start.
Buba just opened a high tech veterinary
compound in Sweden, that’s said to be one of the first of its kind.
Buba is a loving husband, father,
and a friend of friends. Add a humble man to the other accolades and you have the formula of a Hero. I have met a many of
wealthy, and successful individuals, but none and I mean none can compare to this man. He is truly a man among men. With the
odds stacked up against him he stood and still stands with his infectious smile and humble demeanor. This Powerhouse is Greatness at its best, and I have the Honor to know him. Buba is the face of what a
Determination and Disciple brings… His story continues as a filmmaker in the States is
in the process of developing his story into a movie.
That's
one story is a "MUST SEE" for sure.
