*My Walk at the Stage of Life*

PhD convocation in Applied Mathematics at University of Lagos was an amazing experience as I closely watched Unilag’s Vice Chancellor, Pro Chancellor and Chancellor presided over it.

I was raised by a loving-disciplinarian father whose penchant for education had no bound and a caring–lovely mother who had little. I hawked bread and other perishable goods on the streets of Ode-Irele and Ode-Omi (Both in Ondo State) at early age of 10 to help my mum. I used to wait for my turn and joined hand with my elder bother to assist my parent in farming. I attended public primary and secondary schools at Ode-Irele. I proceeded to the prestigious University of Lagos, where I bagged First Class honours degree in Mathematics and Distinction in Master’s degree in Applied Mathematics after my NYSC.

Because I had a First Class and Distinction in B.Sc and M.Sc respectively, my professors encouraged me to embrace a career in academics and turned down all the juicy jobs. It was a tough decision for me but thank God I heeded their advice. During my Master’s degree, University of Lagos offered me teaching assistantship job. I also worked part-time as a tutor in A-level tutorial centres within Lagos metropolis to make extra money. Out of my determination, I applied to University of Lagos and other universities in United State of America to pursue a PhD in Applied Mathematics immediately after my Master’s degree. While in that PhD program, I was permanently employed as a Lecturer at University of Lagos. During second year of my PhD at Unilag, I was offered Ph.D admission by some Universities in USA but I had to turn them down because I had made amazing progress in the PhD’s research and I had one more year left to complete the programme here in Unilag.

Today I walked the stage as the first person to bag a B.Sc (First Class), M.Sc. (Distinction) and Ph.D in Applied Mathematics from University of Lagos. I walked this stage for you Mama Africa and for my Mother State - Ondo State. I walked for all of you from my ghetto hood "Akingboye-Ode Irele", Ondo State. I walked for all Salvation Primary school and CHS Ode-Irele students and ex-students that we are brilliant hard working people. I walked for all of you Ondo State students Association at University of Lagos who are pressing hard for fulfilment of their dreams. I walked for all fathers and mothers who have little and toil day by day for their children to become somebody in life.

Specially, I walked for you my parents, Siblings and extended family in fulfillment of your dreams! Specially, I walked the stage for you my late grandmother Moniola Arise who took care of me between ages 2 and 5. Today I walked for these students at University of Lagos who see me as their role model. I walked for all young men and women who strive every day chasing their dreams.
I walked in celebration of the unfailing and unending love of my first and one truly true love, Jesus Christ (the custodian of wisdom, the one who loves me unconditionally and effortlessly; in you I walk, in you I live and in you I have had and will continue to have my being). I have come to indebt understanding that a man receives nothing, except it be given from heaven.–John 3:27.

Try to assist people as much as you can because the seed you grow in others will naturally grow in you. Never cut corners; never avoid reality. "You can avoid reality but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality"Be bold. Be dedicated. Be tolerant. Be persistent. Be innovative. Be different. Be you. Be everything you want to be but remember to put God first! Put God first in everything you do. Let no man, upbringing, money, circumstance, race, past mistakes, institution, company, partner or background affect you negatively. Do not listen to any voice telling you that you cannot do it. Go smart! Go hard! Go tough but be humble and simple in manner. Go for Gold! Go with God! Just get going. Let hope, determination, courage, resilience and persistence be your fuel
