Wow! Deola is making me proud. She's a childhood friend and grew up together in same hood in Ibadan.

Congratulations to her. Saskatchewan is an unusually cold region of Canada and requires so much energy to survive during winter.

Dr. Adebola Olubamiji, the first black person to receive a PHD from University of Saskatchewa, Canada shared her success Story on FB and urged Nigerians to be bold & innovative.

We love when our very own succeeds and excels. The beauty about success stories is that it inspires us to do better and be better. Some stories are inspiring and Adebola’s success story is one of them.

Read and be motivated....


My name is Dr. Adeola D. Olubamiji and I’m the first black person to have received a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada (5th of June, 2017). My Bachelors degree was in Physics from OOU. Because I had a 2.1, it opened the door for me to proceed to Finland for a Masters Degree in Biomedical Engineering. During this masters degree, I worked part-time as a cleaner and did this after my Masters as well. Out of determination, I applied to over 100 schools for my PhD and finally got a full 3 year scholarship (later extended to 4 years scholarship) at University of Saskatchewan, Canada  to pursue a PhD in Biomedical Engineering. While in that PhD program, I worked part-time as a makeup artist and seller at Sephora Canada, I braided hair and weaves for students, did tutoring jobs and teaching assistant jobs to make extra money. This journey wasn’t easy but it’s now paying off. I currently work as a Lead Metallurgical / Material Engineer in an Aerospace Manufacturing Company here in Canada.

Deola is her name and not Adebola and has been a genius since our secondary school days at Mokola Ibadan where we grew up. She was devastated when she lost her equally genius elder sister Omoleye few years ago.

I hate the fact that Nairaland has made me always look out for the next tribe... it's just always irritating that if this was sum1 from the "We all know region" they will claim on how they are better off than the rest of us,on how to they
were the best in all area..

I just hope, the owners of this message rare gem, won't also do the same thing, acting arrogant, forming a the " better than them" attitude we know the others for.. let's always celebrate these people as Nigerians and not as Tribalist.
I know say to some people I make sense, to the rest, pls go take a plunge in the Lagoon.
Who are "the others" that u speak of if I may ask? you are no better than the people u are speaking of. In short, yours is worst....if u are not forming better than them attitude, u shud av made ur point without referring to "the others"...its u and no other that is the tribal bigot here as far as am concerned.

First of all, I'm a black person, I'm a Nigerian and I'm from Yoruba tribe.

Now to the topic. What's so special about having a phd in a program that it has to make a frontpage in the most popular forum in Nigeria?

We need to stop all these celebration of mediocrity. She is the first black to have phd in biomedical engineering from Canada (which I'm very sure is not true) and so freaking what.

I can bet with anyone that there are many blacks that would have had phd in biomedical engineering before June 2017
University of Toronto
McGill
University of BC
Queens University
University of Montreal
University of Alberta
Waterloo etc.
All offer doctorate in biomedical engineering. Are you now telling me none of those schools have ever had black graduate before now?

This is not something worth celebrating abeg and very ridiculous to see people jubilating on this undecided

There are many Nigerians in Regina and Saskatoon. There is nothing unusual about the cold in Saskatchewan. You dress warm for the weather, live in a heated house and drive a heated car. No big deal

It is something for her to celebrate
she have reach her goal but there are Nigerians kid under 24 with PHD
I can tell you before 1996 there was very few Nigerian that will go out there (Saskatoon)

Of course it is something for her to celebrate, but not something of national celebration like it is a big deal to have a phd, and surely not something one tribe should be taunting another with
I live in Canada and I have been to Saskatchewan before. Trust me I have met and seen Nigerians that have done things worth talking about. Last year a Nigerian was in top 7 of Masterchef Canada. 2 years ago, a Nigerian duo of father and daughter were in top 5 of Amazing race Canada and many other feats like these but still they are still not worth jubilating about

Are you trying to imply that you have been in Canada for over 30 years? If so, congrats to you
And for clarity, I'm not trying to tell you a zilch about Canada. All I'm saying is, someone getting a phd shouldn't be celebrated as a national achievement.

I fully understand that
I have the view if you are not going to lecture or do research $60k for PHD is waste
I am of the view that Nigerians that say U MUST CALL ME DOCTOR FOR HAVING PHD ARE CRAZY

This is not something worth celebrating abeg

She is the first black Phd recipient in Biomedical engineering from the universtity of saskatchewan. She did not make the claim for the whole of Canada.

It is definitely worth celebrating. She is an inspiration to many minorities especially women and young girls in Saskatchewan, Canada and those from poor background in Nigeria.
