Being married with kids reduces youthful exuberance. I was driving on 3MB at night and happily cruising on 100km/hr when I started hearing my son's voice in my head, I had to slow down 😂, no one will replace me in my son's life🙏
No one tells you that when you marry an entrepreneur, your side hustle becomes Chief Marketer and Logistics officer for her brand.
My wife said I should tell you all that she makes date sweetened zobo and tigernut drink.
I finally got to say Thank You to former President Olusegun Obasanjo for the congratulatory letter he wrote me in 2020 when I was appointed the Vice President of the University of Oxford Africa society.
When I showed him the letter, he said "That's my letter"
The power of note taking.
Scribbling down your thoughts before speaking helps to construct better and deliver excellently. That's why I am always with my notepad whenever I am on a panel.
I am very honoured and grateful to receive the Royal African Award from His Imperial Majesty

"For some, their parents are their backup, for others like me, we are our parents backup".
That quote was my guiding principle when peer pressure starts to mount, and I am tempted to copy friends and colleagues to either splurge salary or be unserious with work.
As a nation, it is a matter of urgency and national security to ensure that our policies lead to economically viable jobs for our teeming youth population.
Early in your career, you are measured by how excellent your job is. When you demonstrate excellence consistently, you become a manager, and then you are measured by how well others demonstrate excellence. Hence, the definition of leadership is getting things done through others.
I dedicate the
@TFAAfrica
award prize for Governance to every public servant in Africa.
Together we can create an Africa better led, better served and better governed.
To whom much is given, much is expected

As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others the permission to do the same.
Go for it, someone out there is watching, and is being inspired by your bravery and audacity.
If you are a dentist and you are currently studying or studied in Africa, this online series is for you. Episode 1 is on dental practice in Canada with Dr Banjo Omojomi and holds tomorrow on Instagram live (_drhakeem) by 5pm.

@NigeriaGov
While this is a great development for the very short term, I hope the govt remembers to put these import restrictions back later. This is in order not to permanently destroy the local industries as I believe that with the right support, these equipments can be manufactured here.
My journey out of clinical practice
While studying at
@CmulNigeria
, I got to the realisation that the problem was and still remains Health Mgt & Administration. I resolved to pursue a career in it. I did the NIM course and certs in health economics & finance as a corps member.
For people who have left medical practice and those considering leaving, why did you leave/ why are your leaving the profession?
Share your thoughts please⤵️
I pledge to Nigeria my country
To be faithful, loyal and honest
To serve Nigeria with all my strength
To build a tech ecosystem where everyone can thrive, and reach their maximum potential.
So help me God.....Amen
And its a wrap!!!!
The 6 weeks journey with 12 different dentists across 12 different career paths would not have been possible without you all.
Thank you very much !!!!

Back in med school, I did something interesting. In trying to help a friend in 400L physiotherapy get better grades, I asked for her notes and textbooks, read them back to back and then taught her. She had distinctions in the courses😎
NB: I studied dentistry
