About Me

Down to earth and open to criticism...always eager to work and diiscover new things and most especially impart positively on people I meet.
Born to a family of five, father is a rich farmer from one of the South-Western part of the country while mom was a successful trader until her peaceful but untimely passing on in the latter part of year 2004. Though Dad had very little education ohaving being able to complete only his elementary education, he sought so much joy in seeing that all his children were educated. The first to bag a B.Sc degree out of his children, I derive pleasure in positively deploring my abilities to make an impact in other peoples' particularly the less priviledged.
This informed my raising an HIV/AIDS awareness group in my first year at the prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Hailing from a country where high-profile corruption and daylight looting of the national treasury by our supposed leaders and custodians of the law, I realised that youths themselves are the answers to the array of problems that confront our generation on a daily basis. I strongly share the ideals of good leaders like the Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Mahatma Gandhi, J.F Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Lurther King and living legends like Bill Clinton and Nelson Mandela.
I believe the end to the scourge of HIV/AIDS will be just around the corner when youths who are unarguable the most sexually-active and the core of any nation's human resource start concentising their peers and adopt a long-lasting behavioural change. Also, when our leaders start thinking the right way by using the multi-billion dollars annual HIV/AIDS funds for what they are meant for and not lining the bottomless pockets with such funds.
Very very soon...the human race will see the end of this scourge that has ravaged our race for so long a time.
