M’kido campus tour has been a blast but the final leg in LAUTECH was a crazy 🔥
This is what Nigerian artistes should be doing before hitting global stage.
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.✨
this thing you people have been doing since with AI is what I have been clamoring for
The development of the last mile infrastructure in Nigeria can unlock 300k direct Jobs across the country for 1 - 7 years
There are other policies that should follow it that will unlock Jobs, wealth, affordability, security, standards, etc
- Retail policy. Any retail store that employs and pays minimum wage to at least 10 workers will pay let's say 10% income tax. those who employ below 10, pay 30% tax
This will force kiosks and many petty retail outlets to close down because they are actually not doing the economy any serious good. They don't pay good salaries, their workers have no health insurance, no pension etc. they should phase out
Give room to big retail outlets to control areas and employ at scale like Walmart & amazon. they will mop up all the sales kiosks & road side sellers were taking. they will employ, pay pension, give HMO, give days off etc.
Workers in retail outlets can access mortgage, credit, etc because they are now paid well
More importantly our roads will be free from mess caused by road side sellers. And those road side sellers will live a higher quality life if they work retail.
There are tons of ideas that we can test out to uplift the country out of extreme poverty. Most of it lies in urban economic planning
If you have access, use it
If you're born into money, use it
If you are intelligent, use it
If you have the right education, use it
If na street OT, use it
If it is the network you have, use it
If all you have are stories of sapa, use it too!
Use everything to your advantage
What a privilege to be tired from the work you prayed for. What a privilege to feel overwhelmed by growth you used to dream about. What a privilege to be challenged by a life you created on purpose. What a privilege to outgrow things you used to settle for.
Something BIG is coming.... This ain’t just a party—it’s the beginning of something crazy🔥 We’re talking about energy that’ll light up the city. Stay tuned💯 #partywiththeboys#party#lautech#ogbomoso
