Who is Ahikirizye Daniel?
All right, good morning, John Kenny. I’ll get straight to it. So, who is Daniel? Well, Ahikirizye Daniel is (in 2024) a 23-year-old day trader, entrepreneur, and self-made millionaire, born on the 7th of January, 2001, to a family of about eight. I’m the middle child, and I grew up in a very average background, which created this urge in me to do better and to change things.
What did Ahikirizye Daniel aka Ahikyirize Daniel study at university?
I attended primary school and high school in Western Uganda, in Fort Portal, and later in Bushenyi District, respectively. I completed my Senior Six in 2019, and I was supposed to proceed to university in 2020. But then COVID hit, so I started university in 2021, studying civil engineering. I attended for the first year but eventually dropped out—I’ll talk more about that.

So, tell us how you discovered trading and what it took for you to succeed.
Well, as I mentioned, I’ve always wanted to make a difference and change things. After finishing school, the usual path would have been to find a job, but I was young and wasn’t being taken seriously in workplaces. That’s when I began searching for online business models. I tried a lot of things: dropshipping, e-commerce, affiliate marketing, videography, photography, blogging—a lot. That’s when I came across trading. I was scrolling through YouTube and stumbled upon some ads about trading. Initially, I thought it was a scam, but after digging deeper, I realized it was legitimate, and I could make money. So, that’s how I got into it.
What did Ahikirizye Daniel a.k.a Ahikyirize Daniel do before the forex trade?
Honestly, not much else. I tried a lot of hustles, and, most importantly, I focused a lot on learning. I watched a lot of YouTube tutorials and then practiced what I learned—things like photography and video editing, which I taught myself. Sometimes, I’d even do odd jobs like adding places to Google Maps for payment, though it was a lot of work. I enjoy football, driving, spending time with friends and family, and traveling. I like driving up-country or traveling out of the country. (Check Out some of the first videos I created on YouTube below.)
What has been the toughest moment of your life so far?
The toughest moment was leaving school, which was probably the hardest decision of my life. Growing up, my family had high hopes for me to become an engineer, as it’s a well-respected and highly-paid profession here. They believed I would be the one to take things in a different direction. So, quitting school was tough. I used my tuition money for trading, and when I left school, I went through a hard time. I moved from Mbarara to Kampala, where I had no food or support—that was probably the hardest moment of my life.
Where did Ahikirizye Daniel attain his education?
I finished P7 in 2013 in Kasese District, then went to high school in Fort Portal at Hillside High School for S1 to S4, and then to Plus Two High School in Bushenyi for S5 and S6. As I mentioned, I went to university for civil engineering but dropped out after about two months.
What is your biggest achievement?
Oh, this is tough because I’ve achieved everything I’ve dreamed of, but my biggest achievement is being there for my family. I’ve been able to support my mother and others, which has been very fulfilling. I’ve also had private wins, things I don’t talk about publicly. On a personal level, I have the freedom to travel, I own property, and I’ve impacted millions of people in Uganda, East Africa, and around the world. I’ve even helped create other millionaires, which is incredibly rewarding.
What about people who don’t take your classes seriously?
Well, I think some people are naive, which is part of why we remain behind. People assume good things come easily. Even when they see someone else living well, they often think it’s easy to achieve. So, they try to take shortcuts instead of going the main route, and it just doesn’t work that way.
Why should people trust you, as a Forex Trade mentor? Is Ahikirizye Daniel legit?
Firstly, everything I do has worked for me, and I’ve documented my journey from 2020. I’ll attach some links for you to see. I’ve shown every step, from starting with trading to reaching over a million dollars in profit in about three years.
What else would you like us to know about you apart from Forex Trade?
Well, I’m an introvert. I love my time alone, sometimes even canceling meetings to have time to think. I’m also very self-driven, and, being a Capricorn, I want things done as soon as possible, which I think is a strong trait. I value my team and the quality time we spend together. All right, that’s it. I hope you find this valuable, and have a great day ahead!
