He is a 1990 law graduate of Obafemi Awolowo Univesity, (aka Great Ife), Ile-Ife, Nigeria, and the first Deaf person in West Africa to graduate with a law degree. In 1991, He earned his Barrister at Law qualifications from the Nigerian Law School, Lagos, and was called to the Nigerian Bar, thus becoming West Africa’s first Deaf lawyer.

Disability exists only in the mind. The only person who can stop someone from achieving his or her goal is the person even God who created us wants us to succeed and excel.

Let us pass the message across to inspire our children to be the best they can be, they have no excuse to fail.
