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
