Public Speaking
Public speaking is one of the things I do best. I speak on a wide range of topics including issues relating to higher education, leadership and governance, youth participation in African politics, and career development. I will speak at your event(s) for free. My speaking engagements are completely FREE. But please, consider the terms and conditions below:
I speak only on higher education, career/personal development, politics, and governance, and filmmaking.
While I personally would not charge to speak at your event, cost of travel as well as accommodation, if needed, will be at the organisers’ expense. Contact me here for more details.
You have a minimum of 35 people at your event.
I avoid speaking at religious events as much as possible.

Politics
I am a young politician who has a dream that Nigeria, as a country, is yet to harness its full potentials due to bad governance and leadership. I believe that a new set of young, vibrant, innovative, and visionary leader is needed to change the situation of things in the country.
I am a member of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) in Nigeria. I aspired to be the governor of Osun State in the 2022 Gubernatorial Elections. I am currently working with a group of well-meaning youths to challenge power in a bid to deliver good governance to the people Osun State.
This is a long-term project, and we will do our best to correct the wrongs in our societies, Osun State, and Nigeria at large.
Oparinde Community Foundation
I like to give back to the community. So, I participate in several activities, engagements and services aimed at improving the lives of people in my community. I am the Chairman of Oparinde Community Foundation (OCF). Oparinde Community Foundation is managed by four brothers – Kunle, Deji, Tunji and Dayo.
We support Nigerians in the following areas:
Youth Development Initiatives
Here, we organise programmes, and provide opportunities for Nigerian youths to develop themselves and their careers through the programmes we organise and through different forms of empowerment.
Educational Support Initiatives
We support schools and students with fees, books, bursaries, and scholarships among other things. This is in a bid to ensure that everyone, regardless of their background, have access to quality education.
Charity Projects and Donations
We engage in charity projects and donations. These include provision of relief funds for people in need as well as provision of basic amenities for areas in need of important facilities.

I will update you on my progress very soon.
