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.

Dainikel:
Damn I'm so proud of this gal Adebola & so happy for her too. Thanks for making evry1 concerned proud....this is what happens when opportunity meets preparation.

Her name is Adeola not Adebola

dustydee:
In Canada? Nairaland can lie oh. Even the lady didn't make such claim.
Seun your misinformation crew are at it again.

Don't say what you don't know . . She's in Saskatoon in Canada and a childhood friend. We talk daily

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

My brother has alot of them and one 'coolant ' that will be fanning his phone.

vintino:
I have contacted my lawyer and the next stop is the police station to Lodge the complain . They might thought I am into internet fraud....
Make una help me out..

They've done that to me so many times here in Ibadan. Once they see a foreign names as the sender, they assume its Yahoo stuff and steal it. I don't know who to report to again

noobody:
Nipost official twitter handle was last active dec 16 2016,they need to have a strong online presence such cases can be sharply reported to.this has totally gotten out of control.

Even their website to track packages is error. Everything is just wrong with this country

Theloveth:
This is what Vintino should do. Go to the state head office and ask to see the area post master. They are quite attentive and will take up the issue for you.

All that na story, 2months I was to receive brand new iPhone 5S Gold here in Ibadan. On arrival I found the documents indicating iPhone was bought and sent but an old Ericsson phone in the iPhone case. I immediately went to their CSO who claimed the theft was made in Lagos and took me to their APM where I wrote a complaint letter and dropped the package with them. Up till now nothing has been done. I feel like crying wherever I remember the incident.

Oh my Alma Mater . . What has happened to thou

Thecassanova:
If he hadn't been successful, you'd had swear you don't know about him.

Success has a hundred fathers, Failure is an Orphan..

I never said I've met Dele but I know his grandfather, I don't even know the dad because he never base in Nigeria.

SirShymexx:
Yes, he decided to start going by his first name after how woeful he was at the Euros, perhaps due to pressure. And probably cos the family he stayed with while he was at the academy, who also happens to manage his career, told him to cut his biological family off. At the end of the day, he started the academy with their son, and since their son didn't make it - Dele Alli automatically became their meal ticket.

You also can't blame them for that cos his dad was far away in the US (although he alleged that he sends him money for his upkeep and he bought him his first car) and his mum who was an alcoholic gave him away. With time, he's going to outgrow it and return to his family. The guy is just at a crossroad trying to figure himself out, especially with how successful his career is, right now - without distractions. However, that doesn't negate who he's.

He's the biggest talent out of the England, since Wayne Rooney (you can say since Gareth Bale out of the UK), right now...and that's a lot of pressure. So, it's only right for him to stay away from unnecessary distractions. But he'd be alright. His problem is mostly with his mum.

His grandfather lives at Alli Street, Mokola here in Ibadan. I grew up in that street also. His father is Dr Kenny in US. Dele was in Naija when he was 7yrs old. The street was named after his grandfather.

Kikikikikiki, hunger for your side is not a small matter o.
Did he tell you he wants phone?

Wicked2! chai

Why can't topics like this make frontpage?

Zoharariel:
This overrated bomb should have been compared & juxtaposed with the Russian-made “Father Of All Bomb,” which by the way, is four times more powerful than Amerika's MOAB.

Mother Russia's ingenuity & unrivaled military supremacy is incontestable - even the perfumed military Generals in Washington can attest to this

No leader who has ever dared to confront or insult Amerika publicly - e.g Patrice Lumumba (Zaire), Mohammad Mosaddegh (Iran), Hugo Chavez (Venezuela), Sukarno (Indonesia), Juvénal Habyarimana (Rwanda), Salvador Allende (Chile) to Muammar Gaddafi (Libya), Al-Basheer (Sudan) and Fidel Castro (Cuba), to name just a very few - has ever lived to tell the tale.

While some were directly assassinated by the CIA; others were “only” toppled - And these patriotic leaders were wasted by Amerika for committing “several grave crimes” such as:

1.) Defending the vital interests of their Nations & people.

2.) Refusing to allow the unbridled plunder of natural resources by Amerikan & British multinational corporations - like they're in doing in Nigeria.

3.) Standing against the principles of imperialism - even simple criticism of the Anglo-Zionist Empire has often been punishable by death.

But the only hero that has ever called - and is still calling - the bluff of the Empire is non other than the “just & merciful” Comptroller-General of the Irunmoles (Vladimirovich Putin)

Do you know Y? Because any wrong move from Amerika - Boooooom!

I admire your love for Russia and always follow your argument with missy something and co, my question is, why haven't Russia showed their power like US has been doing bro?

I'm sure someone somewhere is kpanshing this woman for dis naija

What is the meaning of that jagbajantis above? Is the OP the one drunk or the mod?

jiorhemen:
The condition that has not been met is not the financial aspect, the condition he is finding difficult to meet is the requirement to produce two level 16 civil servants to stand as sureties for him. I knew from the day that judge gave the bail conditions that the level 16 civil servant part of it will be very difficult for him to meet.

Pls help me out, Who is a level 16 civil servant? I need examples pls

justscorchone:
I don't know which one is John but ama fvck the shiit out of that broad in the dress.

Only few people can decode the slang "broad" there if you hadn't used the f word, me and my men have our own languages that even strangers beside us won't understand. Are you a Libyan burger?

schrondinger:
Very bad, I know d guy and it occur in my area

This your moniker makes me remember quantum chemistry, it wasn't easy as a chemistry student

Can she work unassisted with that thing?

Firemen came but not water!! God, how did we get it wrong in this country?

Mad people everywhere

Bbsharon:
So I had fun going to this place and seeing this statue of liberty myself, so next time you are around Osun state or particular Ife city do not hesitate to pay a visit to this great place of honour.

I would rather travel to Ife because of the great palm wine close to OAU gate than going just a see a statue

Beremx:
That moment when he tries to put on a generator because he sees daddy and mummy putting on the Gen every time.

My son had attempted similar thing before

AprokoNaija:
Guess what? I'm right now inside NERO LOUNGE @ Sangotedo-Ajah sipping my #500/bottle beer. This hotel is owned by NERO himself and dude is in and out of US also dealing in FX.

These guys are lovers of luxury cars and another expense car parked inside Nero's hotel testifies to this.

Good to hear that and happy for him cos some peeps are already saying he has rundown.

iammrjohnson:
that's a long story. the owner is also an older friend. he's called emerald, real name saheed. the owner of the popular emerald boutique

i think saheed's problem is that he has too many investments. he wants to manage all his investments himself which is not possible.

he owns 411, echo club (ring road) , the new bakery (iyana adeoyo, ring road), metro hotel (bodija), emerald boutique and the building itself, 40% of the buildings in dugbe (around the emerald building), the hotel at ajeigbe, ring road. those are the ones i know. both shef and emerald are in their early forties. they are also almost enemies. if you go anywhere in ib, be it club, bar hotel, bakery, boutique or wherever and you see a phone number with plenty 3s. it's saheed's own. he drives an eod, big daddy and one old toyota suv.

the direct answer to your question, his money doesn't come from his investments.

You're right, I've known Saheed since his early days at aleshinloye (he's my older brother friend) before the formal dominion bar now emerald boutique at queens cinema, 411 I heard was leased to him and not an outright owner. Just like you said, he can't manage all these investments by himself, I know echo too

iammrjohnson:
Ade Bendel was never quiet. These guys were just louder.

maybe you don't know Nero ran the cotton's club then, he tried to revive it the same time i tried to revive the 411 club before saheed gave me contract worries and i backed out.

the owner of the car is shef, and he's an older friend. he's very much alive and accessible. everyone that wants to kill himself on this car should just walk into Options club, you'll find him or his younger brother AK there. Package yourself as well to do, then you'll have his attention and maybe consider your proposal.

it's been fun reading these rumours though, now i know i was always right not to believe internet speculations.

the said car is just beside my mechanic's workshop, inside the street beside 'The Castle Inn' hotel (another fatally wrong investment) before total garden.

Boss what happened to 411 even after renovation and improvement on the place still not on par with GQ and Plat?

victorv12:
Fvck Nero and the fvcking Chef mennnn! Before I left Ibadan, the neighborhood was quite with civil minded people and families living in both old Bodija and New Bodija. The caliber of people you find there are hardworking people like doctors, engineers and some other proffessions, not yahoo yahoo and cocaine boys. We know ourselves and the family you came from! We have bad guys but not like all these fetish muthafvckers!

From Cotton's club to Platinum at old Bodija, and from Joanis guest house, AKA Joe to La - Parisane at New Bodija... I bet it if Nero knows a club called La - parisane.To cut the story short, those assholes just messed up the good name of the neighborhood and corrupt so many innocent young girls and guys with their flamboyant lifestyles. Even when Ade Bendal was living on my street, he did his shit codedly, and he tried his best to remain anonymous not like this loud muthafvcker they call Nero!

Dammit! There's no place like home.

Joanis, Platinum around year 2000 these places were decent before being hijacked by YYboys and druggies

seanswitch:
Saw this online from 2009

The owner of a club in Ibadan called Options 24/7, Babatunde Iyiola a.k.a. Shef and the fraudulent Ibadan big boy; Nero may have taken their enmity to another level if there is no quick interference.

You will recall that Nero who is deep in love with Pastor Abiara’s daughter, Leah, was once accused of spreading ugly rumour about the sale of the hottest watering hole in Ibadan at the moment, Options 24/7. On this ground, Shef, we were informed, declared persona non granter to Nero and his cohorts at his club.

One of the allegations leveled on Nero is the fetish substance Nero was said to have prepared to sprinkle on the ground so as to cause setbacks for the very flourishing and bubbling nightclub, but for God who exposed his act through divine intervention, the club would have become a thing of the past.

When Shef got wind of Nero’s diabolical moves, he positioned his security men to deny Nero, Leah or any of his notorious gang members an access to his pub. This, we much gathered, led to Nero securing a hospitality haven for himself. Though, the said newly acquired relaxation bar which was said to have been solely financed by Leah, according to one of Nero’s aides, was only on lease by Nero for three years as against the rumour he’s been spreading in town that he bought the franchise.

Source -https://m.thenigerianvoice.com/movie/7306/ibadan-big-boys-babatunde-iyiola-nero-at-daggerdrawn.html

The news is true but old, Leah has broken up with Nero for long, Nero couldn't even manage a once blossoming Cotton Club. His gang drank all the wines and beers till the place was closed down.

Rencent:
Lol...... Lekan Lakaster
Am from Eleyele. U??

Eleyele here

Rapsowdee01:
HIS NAME IS BABATUNDE IYIOLA, A.K.A SHEF ! HE WAS ONE OF IBADAN'S BIG BOYS THEN... HE HAD A FRIEND NERO.... BOTH HE AND NERO'S WHEREABOUT ARE UNKNOWN... EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS SPECULATIONS THEY WERE ROTTING IN JAIL FOR DRUG RELATED OFFENCES... NO ONE (EXCEPT MAYBE THE POLICE) HAS AN IDEA OF THEIR LOCATION.


MODIFIED: SOME PEOPLE CLAIM NERO IS NOW IN LAGOS... ''MAKING IT BIG''....

Nero ruined himself, his hungry friends he had to feed didn't help matter, I understand his wife Leah broke up with him. I heard he's now in US but will confirm and update

Fearcom:
Chai!! the customised plate number reads SHEF. Don't know the guy personally but he owned a popular club in Ikolaba Agodi area very close to officers mess. He also drove a Range Rover with customised plate number SHEF 2

That's Big Shef, the owner of Option 24/7 club
