When I started Aproko Doctor, some of my colleagues who were doctors said I was wasting my time
Years later, I've impacted hundreds of thousands of people, signed deals with multinational organisations.
Don't allow anyone talk down on your dreams.
Always #DoYou
You don't need to know everything before you start, all I had was my mirror in my room then, imagining I was talking on TV. It was the TV Box idea.
It wasn't clear at first what I wanted to do, but I knew it was going to be huge.
I opened a page on Facebook, it's still there. Wasn't getting any traction. I switched to Instagram. At some point I got angry, why were people who were "doing rubbish" having more views than I was. I was depressed! I had value, I was going to help people live longer!
I abandoned it for a while, focused on my work
Then someone asked, what about your Aproko Doctor thingy, I made up some excuse about it wasn't easy.
She told me, no matter what you do, don't forget to #DoYou. You're focusing on other things. Stay on it until it gives result
I started again, removed my eyes from the likes and comments, those were important, but not so important at that moment. I needed to believe in what I was doing. Changing lives in my small way.
It doesn't matter how valuable what you have is, you have to learn how to sell it
It wasn't easy, and we're not there yet. Preventing disease using media and helping Nigeria reduce the disease burden using behavioral modification has always been the goal
I've had support, I'll still get some more, but if you're reading this and have a dream. Always #DoYou

Two people can't be together, love, communicate, and care for each other without occasionally suffering for each other, but if you listen to Twitter, you'd think none of that happens.
You'd think any sign of inconvenience spells the end of a relationship. Many will fall for it
When you are dating, sacrificing for your partner seems like a small deal.
"Is it not just my time? Just an appointment. It's nothing"
After marriage, reality sets in, and sacrificing becomes reality, not theory. Many times, it becomes a lifestyle
You give up getting that shoe because your partner has a need.
You eat a new diet you don't like to support your partner, most cases, a condition that requires a change of diet
Picking up extra shifts at the hospital for your family is sacrifice. It happens almost everyday
Some people think that it is caused by Juju, he stepped on something and his leg started swelling. When in fact, it is caused by a parasite that looks like a worm
These worms only live in the body's lymph system. The lymph is different from blood and is clear like in color.
If you've had sex or are currently having sex, this thread is for you. It might save you from a lot of problems in the future
Are you "clean"?
As long as you're having sex, you probably have one variant of Human Papilloma Virus that causes cervical cancer
There are over 100
Out of over a 100, 14 types of HPV(Human Papilloma Virus) can cause cancer including cancer of the cervix
These viruses are very common
You can get throat cancer if you give oral sex to someone who has one of these cancer causing types
Ask yourself: Has your partner tested?
Most people get this virus soon after they became sexually active. That's the most common time for infection for most people. Then they carry it around for a long.
Some variants of this HPV cause genital warts.
Don't say a person is clean just because they don't have HIV
How much salt do you need in a day?
How much alcohol can you take per day?
Is suya bad for your health?
What kind of cooking oil can I take?
Can okra make me infertile potent as a man?
You knowing the correct answer to questions like these is why I do what I do on this platform
This is because I know that the more enlightened you are about your health, the better decisions you will make about your health and lifestyle.
A lot of people just think that by praying and hoping, they would not fall ill.
There are those who have kept all these things and yet
They fell ill. It happens, that is life
But we can tip the scale in our favor.
