MEDIVOICE: Meet the game changer of the week,Akinola! Every publication week,we shine the spotlight on someone who’s making waves and defying norms. This week, get to know Ekundayo Akinola, a noble luminary of the Tenacious class in IFUMSA. Hello, Can we meet you?
POTW: I am Ekundayo Akinola, a 400 level Medic.
MEDIVOICE:It’s great meeting you😊. So Akinola, moving further, how do you feel about IFUMSA?
POTW: Hmm, I feel IFUMSA is a well organised association.
MEDIVOICE: I absolutely agree with you. Additionally, do you have any leadership roles within or outside IFUMSA?
POTW: No.
MEDIVOICE: Alright! As a matter of fact, why are you studying medicine?
POTW: 😅😅😅Honestly, I don’t think I have the passion to save or treat people. I just came to do medicine because I felt brilliant minds should study medicine and here I am, surviving and enjoying what I am learning.Also, I chose Medicine because of job security, long term relevance and of course, cash💸😅.
MEDIVOICE: That’s one very upfront response, and it’s nice to know😅. Moreover, do you have a favourite course at the moment?
POTW: Yes, Physiology.
MEDIVOICE: Great! Aside from medicine, what else are you involved in?
POTW: Hmm, nothing much, but if watching series counts for something then yeah, watching series😵.
MEDIVOICE: That’s outright cool. To continue, which do you prefer – a book, a movie or a theatre play?
POTW: I love movies series, but it is difficult to decide if I love it more than my books.
MEDIVOICE: Must be a tough one lol. Who is your role model/ personal hero?
POTW: Nil.
MEDIVOICE: Moving on, what is your favourite book or author and why?
POTW: Apart from academic books, I’m not much of a reader but I do read people’s write-ups on Medium, people like Akinbo, and so far, he is my favourite writer.🤗
MEDIVOICE: That’s nice! (writer Akinbo,take your credits, smiles..) Also, do you have a senior or junior colleague you admire?
POTW: To start with, I admire a lot of people both senior and junior colleagues but distinguished amongst them are Dapo and Azeez, my junior colleagues, and Dipo and WOF, my senior colleagues.
MEDIVOICE: Amazing! Moving to the ‘love’ talk😉, Are you in a romantic relationship?
POTW: No.
MEDIVOICE: Readers, he is not taken! What to do with that information is left to you😅.Next, would you consider yourself an introvert, extrovert or an ambivert?
POTW: Ambivert.
MEDIVOICE: Okay! Besides, do you enjoy group study or do you prefer to study on your own?
