Komilogbon Peace Damilola popularly known as Esteem, is one of young Nigerian entrepreneurs making waves in the entertainment industry. Born on 5th August 1990s in Ondo State. She is the first child of her parents.
She is an international media entrepreneur, Tourist, the founder and president of Esteem Entertainment, CEO Esteem Awards, Esteem Tour, Africa Entrepreneur Awards, Nigerian Global Entrepreneur Awards, International Entrepreneur Awards, and Nigerian Short Movies Producer. She got the name Esteem when she was in secondary school.
She started her career in July 11th, 2018 when she was an undergraduate of FOUNTAIN UNIVERSITY, OSOGBO where she studied SOCIOLOGY.
Moving to the University, she was a socialist both in and outside the campus. She was to speak to students across Nigerian Universities, and then she got a business idea from her presentation. Today, the rest is history.
When speaking with Gbolahan Adetayo about her life, Peace said, “as a student, I noticed that some Nigerian students are becoming great entrepreneurs right from school and also after school. My dream was to appreciate them so that they can do much better, then I came up with the idea of organizing an award ceremony called ESTEEM NIGERIAN YOUTH AWARDS now ESTEEM AWARDS under ESTEEM ENTERTAINMENT which is now an International Award. I have so many support for Nigerian students because I was once like them and I can’t forget their efforts”
On her experience so far, she said, “Well it has not been easy since 5 years back I delved into it. I have been through a lot, a big disappointment, insults , lose and all that. Getting started was not easy as an undergraduate, most of the resources I used was from my feeding allowances. No support, no help except few people who contributed to the movement along the line. But now, I give God all the glory, we are not where we were yesterday. We have gone international.
“It’s not easy going international. Since i got no sponsor, I decided to double my hustle and work hard to finance every of my projects by myself till sponsors shows up. I quite understand that in every business, disappointment and insult are normal, it is part of your success stories and for the lost, its happens in all businesses. Through the help of people outside Nigeria, we were able to go international. Some of them always reach out to me themselves and I also do reach out to some too. My dream now is to see my brand becoming the biggest and strongest both in Nigeria and outside. It’s called Esteem Entertainment to the world”, She said.
