Over the past week, I have had the opportunity to follow the Great Ife Students' Union elections closely, and I must say, it has been quite an experience. It's my first time following it this closely, and in many ways, it has reminded me why student leadership remains such a powerful platform for service.

More than anything, though, it has made me incredibly proud of my younger brother, Lakunle.

We come from a very small place, but we have always dared to dream beyond our circumstances. More importantly, we were raised to believe that wherever life takes us, we should leave that place better than we met it. Perhaps the full story will be shared another day, but somehow, that simple lesson shaped us into not just a family of Physiotherapists, but even more, a family of volunteers.❤️

From our mother, who serves as the Chairman of the Oyo State Physiotherapy Association, an elected position, to my eldest sister, who served as Vice-President and Acting President of the UCH Students' Association, as well as Editor-in-Chief of the Press and PhysioRay, to my second sister, who served as the Assistant General Secretary of the Association of Physiotherapy Students, to myself, privileged to have served as President in two associations, Vice-President in three organisations, and in several other capacities, service has never been something we just did for the sake of doing.

And then there is Lakunle. The youngest of us all.

A selfless brother who chose an even bolder path because he genuinely believes things can be better. Very very Energetic.❤️😂Someone willing to stand up, to be counted, and to work for the change he believes in.
I couldn't be more proud of him.

I still remember when Lakunle first told me, perhaps in Part I or Part II, a few years ago, that he wanted to run someday. I told him something I still believe today: politics may be done to win elections, but it is lived long before elections ever come. It is found in every assignment you are given as a member of a committee, every responsibility you accept and every opportunity to serve. It is doing everything you have been entrusted with at 200%, giving people every reason to believe that when the time comes, you will serve them well.

Looking at him today, I truly believe he has done his due diligence (didn't know he had all these doings)

I cannot speak for every candidate, but I choose to believe they have also given so much of themselves to be here. That alone deserves respect. It takes courage to put yourself before people and offer yourself for service.

I also want to appreciate the Great Ife Students' Union for the standard it has always seems to uphold.
To everyone who has supported Lakunle throughout this journey, thank you. Thank you for believing in him, encouraging him, and walking this journey with him.

And to you, Lakunle... Thank you for every space you have served in with excellence. Thank you for protecting your name with integrity. Thank you for representing Great Ife so well on the national Physiotherapy stage (another story for another day).

I have always been proud to call you my brother. This election process has only made me prouder.

As elections always go, I hope everyone makes the right choice (in the spirit of canvassing). Honestly, there are usually hardly any wrong choices, perhaps only the "righter" ones.

For me, and for many others I know, that choice is simple.

It is ASCEND with Lakunle. Always. The best man for the job.

Proud of you. Today, tomorrow, and long after the ballots have been counted.

@_numuno Congrats man.

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.✨
