The Founder & Operations Director at Chariots PoP Works, Jude Odia, met with GODSPOWERPROJECT (GPP), and to the glory of God he featured on 'What is Your Exclusive Testimony'.
Plastering back some 9000 years ago in between ancient history, the first documented use of the multifunctional plaster of Paris as a cast for injured limbs only took place some hundred years recently. However homeowners across Nigeria, especially the wealthy have just caught on the PoP fad.
Talk about yourself and what you do
My name is Odia Jude, from Esan part of Edo State, born in Benue, God has been taking me on a good journey so far.
I'm into Plaster of Paris aka PoP, this is just one of our sites and projects. We have been working on this entire flat for a week now.
I started doing this professionally in 2018. Long time ago I used to accompany my brother to sites and I just loved the beauty of the job. What attracted me was the fact that you can use PoP to create different things of your choice. You can use it to do ark, pillars, even construct a human figure. You can use PoP for many designs and they are all attractive. Those things really attracted me to the profession.
Has the Job been Rewarding?
So far so good it has been rewarding and there's a lot of advantage in it that takes me to different places I never thought I would be, different locations, states, meet different people. So many opportunities, even working for celebrities, Pastors, journalists. I've had the privilege of traveling to Port Harcourt, Ondo state, Ibadan, Osun state, Ogun state, Ghana, Benin Republic, passed through Togo, Glory be to God I attend a Commission that advises on studying- the Living Faith Commission led by Bishop David Oyedepo.
How interesting is the experience?
There are some well to do personalities in the society that I've had opportunity to get close to them because of this profession. I've been to some location that on a norms, if I was working in a particular place I would not know those locations. There are some Chairman in top estates that have like 5 houses and you will sit down with them and be negotiating due to this profession. Even top Pastors in Lagos here that you see their billboards everywhere, we have worked in their apartments. Worked in GRA, Lekki, VGC. Even one Chairman in one of the biggest estates on the mainland, after working, he gave me some extra cash. Even when he's going by and he sees me, he pauses and greets me for doing a nice job for him. It happens with other clients too. These are among interesting experiences on the job
The locations that I've been going to are my interesting experiences and personalities too. There are lots of them.
Or when a client took us out to a very nice eatery here in Lagos, and we enjoyed ourselves that day. Took a ride with her to the shopping mall, pictures, did some shopping and all that, client o, before even starting the work o. All these kind plenty plenty you understand as e dey go na.
Experiences whereby you'll be working onsite and somebody will say 'wow, how do you people do this' and many more like when a client leaves a Duplex for you and travels out. You'll be taking care of the place while working. Beautiful experiences in beautiful houses.
Most of all I really thank the Lord.
What is Your Biggest & Exclusive Testimony?
When I made a huge amount of money is my biggest testimony, my exclusive testimony is that there is never a week that there is no job for us. Every week by the grace of God we are always having jobs. My greatest testimony is that there will always be a building to work on and most interesting thing is, there are future testimonies still coming because every house you go nowadays you must find PoP. And that's just the trending thing, everybody wants to do PoP, because it is fine and as such we get jobs every week and we make sure to put in our best everytime, and people have been recommending us.
What inspired the company name?
By the grace of God when I read my spiritual book- The Bible, I see how chariots move people from one place to another, far back as ancient times as the first vehicular movement. Chariot cuts across different religions, everybody uses chariots, so when you are doing PoP everybody appreciates PoP. That's the inspiration.
Most embarrassing moment?
Was when my work knickers got torn while jumping from one scaffolding to another, and I had to go and get something elsewhere. This happened sometime last year. My boy was not around that day so I had to go buy things for myself, I was using coded to walk on the road. (Lol)
Message to Public
First of all, my advise to the young and coming up is that anything they find their hands doing they should do it very well. And again they should try to look for something that is self employed- like a handiwork or anything intellectual where they cannot be fired, even though they are working under someone.
And anywhere you find yourself in a company, try to make an impact there. And try to look at something your Creator will support.
The general public should patronize us o and everyone else who is into creative things, support us. And if there's anybody with the finance let them support creativity. People who are not into criminal activity but trying to make good things come to life.
How would you be Remembered?
As someone that carries others along to see the light. Despite this being my work, I try my best when I see a young man on the streets not really having a definite direction in life. I'll try to enlighten them in one or two areas with my personal experience, so I see that as carrying others along. And by the grace of God I have had the privilege of being able to do that and people have benefitted
Hallelujah
