Today, I celebrate more than a birthday.
I celebrate resilience, growth, and the quiet voice within that never gave up.
My name is Afeez Azeez. I’m Nigerian by blood and ambition. A student of Information Systems at LAUTECH. A military-trained combatant who ended up choosing a different kind of battlefield—the digital one. I’m a hacker, a cybersecurity expert, and the founder of CJLOG SEC.
The name CJ Log didn’t just happen overnight. It was born out of long nights, relentless curiosity, and an obsession with understanding the systems most people never notice. I didn’t just want to be good—I wanted to be great. I still do. And in five years’ time, I see myself standing tall among the world’s most respected cybersecurity experts.
I’ve built my skills through real work: cybersecurity, web programming, graphic design, website design—you name it. But behind every skill is a story. Behind every success is a struggle. And behind the CEO is someone else entirely.
That’s who I’m writing for today.
That other version of me.
My antonymous self.
The one who gets anxious before a big decision. The one who had doubts when things weren’t going right. The one who looked in the mirror and wondered if the dream was too big for someone from where I came from.
To him, and to me—I say:
Happy birthday.
Thank you for dreaming when it felt easier to quit. For working in silence when no one was watching. For turning pain into power and passion into purpose.
Thank you to my clients, my family, and everyone who believed in CJ Log. Your trust is the foundation that makes all this possible.
Here’s to the journey ahead.
Here’s to the vision that refuses to fade.
Here’s to the hacker with a soldier’s discipline and a visionary’s heart.
