Loma : Man on a Mission: Idris Ayodeji Bello – Afropreneur, Wennovator and Global Health Advocate – talks about Social Entrepreneurship, Technology, Africa and Much More!

In recent times, several Western media have repeatedly focused on Africa, analyzing the prospects of the ‘dark continent’ whilst raising caution about the ability of the next generation to manage resources effectively and implement the required changes. In this exhaustive interview with BN’s Gbenga Awomodu, an exceptional young African from Nigeria speaks on a wide range of issues bothering on social entrepreneurship, development, sustainable health care, and Africa. Idris Ayodeji Bello, a 2012 Weidenfeld Scholar in Global Health Science, trained as a Computer Engineer at the Obafemi Awolowo University, and has had varied global experiences with leading multinationals, including Procter & Gamble and the Chevron Corporation, with social and business networks spanning five continents. He was profiled in 2011 as Huffington Post’s ‘Greatest Person of the Day’ and listed among CNN’s Top Ten African Technology Voices to follow on Twitter in 2012. Dedicated to the enhancement of lives by developing and deploying attractive platforms for innovation-driven, technology-enabled investments across the African continent, he shares from his wealth of experience and sheds more light on the just concluded 2012 Oxford University Pan-Africa Conference. Get ready and enjoy this encounter!

LOMA is an inspiration, an effective seller too. Great interview.

I read Kole Omotoso's Just Before Dawn quite early too, the book, plus a few other ones led me to pick up the burden of "Nigerian issue" that I still carry with me up till now. .

Very inspiring one there, Loma.
Never doubted you will go this far, since our days in Ife, when I used to see you camp yourself @ Central Mosque(me a Jambite, you in final year) reading heavily. I testify to the part you mentioned about being multi-tasking right from Ife days. I remember how you used to be involved in a lot of activities, including being Editor of An-Nur, yet besting your full-time classmates.

I only read Omotoso's book about 5 years ago.

LOMA?

These are the kind of news we love to read. ...Great Nigerian. ..Yes we are Nigerians and we never lack behind.

Such a humble person is here and he maintained a low profile.Trust me,if na ''the other guys'',you'd have seen them worshipping him everyday.Good one Loma.
