In a world where fast trends often overshadow deep meaning, Nigerian entrepreneur Okosun PeterMarie E. said he is using fashion to spread a powerful message of hope, faith, and perseverance.
His brand, Our Own Time Self Go Come (OOTSGC), has grown from a childhood mantra into a thriving movement, resonating with thousands across Africa and beyond.
The story begins with PeterMarie’s upbringing under the strong influence of his grandmother, who instilled in him a philosophy that would later define his brand.
While other children showed off new clothes during Christmas, his grandmother would reassure him, “Don’t worry. Your time will come—even if not as a child, it will come as a grown man.” Those words became the foundation of OOTSGC, transforming it from just a clothing line into a belief system rooted in patience and faith.
PeterMarie’s said his journey was far from easy. Growing up surrounded by relatives, friends, and even strangers, he learned life’s toughest lessons early.
“I had to learn and unlearn,” he shared. “I listened to people, to books, and to God. I never had an easy journey, but I had integrity—and integrity speaks louder than hype.”
He said this mindset has shaped OOTSGC into more than just a brand—it’s a community of hopeful individuals.
“Unlike typical fashion labels chasing fleeting trends, OOTSGC focuses on inspiring resilience. The brand has gained recognition not only in Nigeria but also in Ghana, South Africa, and Canada, where it serves as a symbol of perseverance,” he said.
“We’re a group of individuals full of hope, needing motivation to stay hopeful.
At the core of his leadership is an unwavering faith in divine timing. “Even when you see no results, keep going,” he urged. “Stay steadfast. Keep God alive in you.” This message is woven into every piece of clothing, reminding wearers that no matter how long it takes, their time will surely come.
As OOTSGC continues to expand, PeterMarie said his story stands as a beacon for a generation searching for meaning in a fast-paced world. His brand is proof that success isn’t about rushing—it’s about trusting the process and believing that “Our Own Time Self Go Come.”
