Most entrepreneurs can trace their spark to one defining moment. Idah Abdulwahab Dominion traces his to a pile of mentholatum in his living room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dominion is a first year accounting student of the Federal University Lokoja. He\u00a0 is a community builder and manager passionate about fostering human connection. He is the founder of TrustedTech<\/a>, a digital learning platform that prioritizes human connection, and also serves as Chief Growth Officer at StudyCrew, in which he holds a 30% ownership stake. Together, these ventures operate under Rexdom Enterprise Limited, a holding company he co-owns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Root of Entrepreneurship for Dominion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, Dominion\u2019s father, a youth trainer in entrepreneurship, returned from a youth entrepreneurship programme carrying products the participants had been trained to make. Among them were piles of mentholatum, and there were plenty. A conversation with his sister planted a simple idea: why not sell them? Dominion went door to door, made money, and felt something click. As a result, that sense of freedom from earning his own income told him everything he needed to know about the path he wanted to take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, it did not stop there. When his father returned from another programme during the lockdown period, this time with vaselines, Dominion hit the streets again literally, since people could not leave their homes. He also sold headbands his sister crafted and helped his aunt move her wired bracelets. Entrepreneurship, for him, was never theoretical. It was always something you just did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His Growth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By 2023, after secondary school, he had shifted to selling digital courses and made roughly \u20a650,000 in three hours. That result sharpened his focus. He began building his marketing and digital skills intentionally. He eventually ventured into the Web3 space\u00a0 where he spotted a gap that would shape his next move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Dominion Started TrustedTech<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most platforms selling digital courses offered only PDF files and pre-recorded content. There was no real human connection between tutors and learners. Dominion believed that was exactly what was missing. That observation led him to begin building Trusted Tech in late 2025. He designed this digital learning platform to prioritize genuine tutor-learner relationships over passive content consumption. The platform is still in development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Challenges with Building<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Time management has been his most consistent challenge. He tackles this through deliberate scheduling. Despite the troubles with balancing school and entrepreneurship, his mindset around starting has never wavered. He did not wait to fully understand sales before selling those first piles of mentholatum. He learned by doing, and that principle still drives him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIdeas can be given to several people,\u201d he says, \u201cbut it is only he who takes action that is different.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To this end, his advice to young people like him who are considering entrepreneurship<\/a> is simple: just start.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
