It’s been raining since daybreak and these children are still inside the forest😭. 8 days of agony. No one can tell what their state of health is at the moment.

All he wanted in that moment was one chance, just one, to say a proper goodbye.
His eyes carried the weight of everything he never got to fix.
He begged.
Not with pride, but with a broken, heavy heart.
He wept and called out to them the way only a father can:
“My children, please. We are victims too.”
Nobody answered.
They moved closer.
A knife found his throat.
A camera was already rolling.
He asked himself quietly, is this real?, and for a second, maybe he hoped it wasn’t.
But the blade didn’t lie.
The pain told him everything.
They didn’t stop.
Not until it was over.
Maybe he wasn’t your father.
Maybe he wasn’t from your tribe or your side of the country.
But death doesn’t check your ID or your region before it knocks.
If it could happen to him, it can happen to yours.
2027 is on the table.
And the choice sitting in front of you is simple, choose the money, choose the stomach infrastructure, choose the temporary, and we will bleed like this for another eight years.
The blood is already on the ballot.
Choose wisely.
There’s a 2 year old kid among the children kidnapped in Oyo state.
There are about (8) 4 years old kids & about (10) 5 years old kids.
This is failure. Huge leadership failure!!!
A STORY WORTH TELLING✨
In 2019, I finished Secondary School at OBMS (Oritamefa Baptist Model School) with 9A1's in WAEC (One of the happiest moments of my life was the night I checked my result) and this was later rewarded as the best WAEC result in Oyo State in 2019 by the Oyo State Government ✨
What follows usually is direction of the course to apply to. Naturally, most people had expected MBBS or Electrical Engineering.
So everyone, including my teachers were surprised when I chose Physiotherapy (I did my research across many courses and came across a very beautiful course🥹). Tbh, I didn't even know how extremely beautiful the course was then.
OBMS at the time in 2019, due to my WAEC result gave me a scholarship to attend their A'levels Programme for Free.
Due to the Strike and Covid-19 Pandemic, We could not resume yet and I was able to attend it. I started at A'levels February 2020 and applied for the May/June Examinations (very rare, this happens). I had 3A's in the process (however, I didn't use the A'levels result to process any admission as I already got UTME admission in 2019 and was just waiting to resume)
I am always glad I was able to attend it though. I met some really amazing friends.
Interestingly, I didn't know how it would be to transition from doing well in Secondary School to doing well in University. I just really maintained composure✨🥹
So looking down the line,
16+ leadership positions later (including President of the Association of Physiotherapy Students and President of Exercise is Medicine On-campus University of Ibadan Chapter)⭐
🎖️16 medals including 7 golds medals (in Football, Basketball, Quizzes)
🏆 Winner of the ACAPN International Scientific Conference Inter-University Quiz Competition (against schools that had 2 representatives each, I was the single representative from UI)
🏆 Winner of the ABH League and the Coach of the Season as well as entering the Team of the Season in my debut season as coach (my first match of the league was a 5-1 defeat, after that we went on an unbeaten run till the end of the season) - We received a VVIP ticket to watch Shooting Stars as Team of the Season
📗Egbe Omo Oduduwa Scholar (awarded to the highest performing students from Yoruba States in UI)
Millennium Fellow '25 (with a project on improving Physical Fitness, covering over 10 Universities, SDG 3)
30+ certifications (including Awards, Recognition and Trainings)
ABH most Versatile and Leadership Award of the Year, inclusive.
I appreciate everyone that has been a part of the journey. It wasn't always easy and there are a lot of details missing still about the different challenges. I would love to share those too (instead of just results). I appreciate my mum, sisters, brother, friends and my best friend (and woman) for always supporting and pushing me.
Physiotherapy is such an amazing Profession. I hope to share more about its beauty to as many that will love to learn.
Right now, I am pushing to learn more about the nervous system, neuroplasticity and neuroscience whilst trying to further understand the concept of pain and build on the area of Pain Gate Theory.
I will appreciate any form of partnership and collaboration in that field of study and research.✨
You cannot rehabilitate a person that beheads a person.
You cannot rehabilitate someone that offs people for sport.
You cannot rehabilitate someone that kidnaps and rapes children.
