Today i am a very good web designer all thanks to the following people;

Gboyega Shitta
Enahoro Asikia
Onome Eghaga
Ranti Familusi
Segun Ogunjimi

Thanks to them, one way or the other, these people have influenced my decisions to continue, challenged me further and helped out with advice.
Most of all to the Almighty for unlimited inspiration! and not forgetting the most important person ever, MOMMY!

Eemmmmnnn thanks PIXAR, DISNEY etc for those exceptional bouts of inspiration and fun!

My senior siblings whose performance geared me to perform well in my earlier years.
My immediate senior sis who insisted and pressurized my parents that i must change from Arts class to Science class.
Mummy whose tears fired me up when I did not make JAMB on the thrid attempt. (tears actually come to my eyes whenever I remember this)
My sister whose "pointless gist" with a stranger got me into a good industry just after my graduation
One expatriate supervisor in my office who kept encouraging me to change my career and work with him after he interviewed me and I refused his offer.
My wife who allowed me to pursue further studies to equip myself even though it meant I had to leave her for almost two years.

oops!!! It's supposed to be someone. Well, they are all someones. May God bless them all.

ALL thanks to my sister who was always always always willing to help. i wonder what i would have done without her.
thanks to my mum for all the encouraging words, advice and for getting me out of trouble when i managed to get into it.
its funny how selfish i have become since i things have gotten better.

Hmmmnnnnn, oro.

1, Almighty Allah. Got no words to perfectly describe your favour on me.
2, My big brother, Keem, now CEO StanbicIBTC Stockbroking Ltd, for guiding me through, motivating and advising. Thruout all the stages of my education and till now. You made me read Economics, when a naive me had already completed 'Biz Admin' and 'Banking & Finance' in my JAMB form. You asked, subtly, not wanting to be like you were compelling me, why not Economics, it encompasses all these courses you chose? I could have regretted it today If I did not go for Econs. You are the standard in the family and always looking forward to being like you, even though our own generation are less talented and not as cool-headed. You are the most humble person I have ever come across. How I wish I am you humble and cool-headed.
3, Dad, for providing the finance
4, Mum, for the prayers
5, Michael Taiwo, childhood friend, for building can-do spirit in me. Same primary school, secondary school and university. Could have settled for less in secondary school, and in Varsity in particular. You believe in me more than myself. You encouraged me to strive for the School's Hall of Fame(Distinction Students) in our final year in secondary school, and surprisingly, even to myself, I made it, second only to you. You continued the motivation at the University. Getting to Ife a year earlier than me, you temporarily accomodated me on my first day on campus, gave me all the tips I needed to succeed on Ife campus,and declared me good to go, with constant checking. I did not disappoint you. We both graduated together five years later, with 1.1. All these despite you being a staunch Christian/pastor and me a 'conc' Muslim.
6, My bosses in places I have worked so far. My current boss is wonderful, so were my bosses in Vetiva. I have always been lucky to have good bosses everywhere I work.
7, My siblings, and extended family, for believing in me
8, My good friends, Busayo in particular, for staying by me all times.
