Personality Of The Week: IFUMSAITES MEET IDOWU DOLAPO ESTHER

Medivoice: Hellloooo! Welcome to another episode of Personality of the Week. Today, we have Idowu Dolapo Esther. Over to you ma’am.

POTW: Hello everyone, my name is Idowu Dolapo Esther and I am a 400-level medical student. I am from Ekiti state and I love travelling and tweeting.

Medivoice: Firstly, it’s a pleasure having you here miss Dolapo, and welcome back to school. After the long compulsory break, how do you feel about resuming a schedule of 7 am to 5 pm of lectures?

POTW: I feel like the ‘life of shege’ is starting again lol…like waking up to prepare for class, making sure to eat and also getting to class before 7:30 …but we must finish this class o

Medivoice: So, aside from medicine, what other things are you involved in?

POTW: I’m a full-time medical student o, then I also volunteer, in leadership roles, and learn skills here and there

Medivoice: Jack of all trades. Agba multitasker🤲🤲. I love that you are involved in quite a number of things aside from medicine. Speaking of leadership roles, what leadership roles have you played within and without IFUMSA?

POTW: I was the erstwhile Financial Secretary of IFUMSA and I have played some NIMSA roles.

Medivoice: So far, what has been your best class in college?

POTW: Part 3 of course. I think it’s like that for most people too because you are already familiar with the way preclinical works.

Medivoice: Additionally, I feel part 3 is a soft class because first of all, it is the shortest and then again one is familiar with college. Your worst class would be?

POTW: My worst class is part 2…but we thank God.

Medivoice: Wow, contrary to popular opinion.😅 I was thinking you would mention part 4. Humans are different. What speciality in medicine are you seeking to explore?

POTW: I’m considering 4-5 things at the moment. Anything that involves pharmacology, community medicine or health financing.
You see I didn’t mention medicine or surgery.

Medivoice: Furthermore, it seems you love to work with money😅😅. And yes, you didn’t mention medicine or surgery, which suggests you don’t want anything that would stress you😅😅. So, of all the books you have read, what would be your favourite and why

POTW: Becoming by Mitchell Obama, Kidnap of an Angel, Potter’s wheel. They are my favourites because they are interesting to me and I find them inspiring.

Medivoice: So, who is your celebrity crush?

POTW: Young John the wicked producer! … E-daniels, too

Medivoice: Furthermore, who is your college crush?

POTW: My college crushes are: Tofunmi baby, Busola Fakz, Adeola, Japeth, Idowu Tunmi

Medivoice: Which senior colleagues do you admire?

POTW: Plenty of them – Dr Adeoye, Osas, Dr Richard Cross, Dr Tomilola, Peppermint, Ogagun Akinlolu, Dr Mayor keys, Dr Mayowa, Dr Michael, Bro Femi, Bro peace, Tolu…etc.

Medivoice: Are you involved romantically with anyone at the moment?

POTW: Is this a yes/no question? Yep

Medivoice: 😅One comrade down. So, what is your perception of life?

POTW: It’s what we reach out for we get in our lives; Life isn’t one bed of roses unless you were born with a golden or diamond spoon o, also hard work does increase luck exponentially.
