After my secondary school in 1976, I went for architectural training in Ibadan. After my training as architectural technician, I worked in 2 different architect farms and an estate surveyor farm before coming to Lagos in 1987 to work in another architect firm in Lagos Island. Between 1991 and 2004. I worked with a bank and l left in 2004 as senior project supervisor, during these period, I went through a thorough training in the bank. I handled the design and construction of many of the bank branches.
After leaving bank work, I registered an estate developing company to design and build, between 2004 and 2010. We handled many projects both residential and commercial. I have worked on hospital, church and many residential buildings.
In year 2000, I was ordained as an elder in the church. I held different offices in the church at local, district, and conference level. In 2005 I led an evangelism group within the church, moving from town to town to preach the gospel. Two times award winner- 1998-2004 as the best supporter of evangelism in my district by south-west Nigeria conference and centenary celebration 1914-2014 Pioneer Award by Lagos mainland conference in 2014.
After years of studying the Spirit of Prophecy, my family was convinced of the need to move to country-side for medical missionary work, which we have been doing since 2010 in a village in Kogi State of Nigeria till date. We have about 15 Muslim children being trained in our school. They learn English, Maths, and other subjects. We have the privilege to use the Scriptures for their education and in this way we endeavour to introduce them to Jesus Christ. Many of these children are orphans or they come from very poor families. We decided to depend fully on God in running our little ministry and we provide our education free of charge.

I am a member of a family of six. A wife and four adult children. The oldest, a female is a medical doctor, is married and lives in England. The second, an engineer is married and works with an oil company in Abuja, Nigeria. The third, a male lives with the wife in the US. He is an environmental health personnel. The fourth, also a graduate, from Babcock University, Nigeria does business in Lagos Nigeria as a spinster.
I have for several years past adopted a life-style that feeds on natural diet. Consequently, l am not on any regular drug even though I have a history of high blood pressure (now properly controlled ) that runs in the family.
I am a keen follower of all life-style articles, discussions, seminars and programs wherever and whenever I learn about such.
