Prosper, I can take constructive advice. I have benefited from correction, mentorship and guidance throughout my education, and I remain willing to learn. However, your write-up makes confident claims about my work, motives and contributions without establishing the facts.
Because you have addressed me publicly, I will clarify those points publicly.
Your central argument, being that, academic ability should translate into something useful for others, is reasonable. I agree that excellent results alone do not establish everything about a person’s competence, character or eventual professional contribution.
The problem begins when you move from that general observation to specific declarations that I have not helped others, have not shared how I learn, and have not built anything through which other students can benefit.
Those are claims about my record. They require more than your impression of my timeline.
Let me introduce you to some of the work you missed.
1. AUTHORSHIP AND LEARNING RESOURCES
I authored Donye’s Destroying Anatomy, Volume 1.
That involved taking knowledge acquired through my own study and organising it into a resource other students can learn from. It is a concrete example of the very thing you recommend: making academic experience useful beyond the person who earned the result.
You can suggest ways to improve or expand that work. You cannot reasonably discuss my supposed failure to create learning resources while overlooking a resource I have already authored.
2. TEACHING
I tutor Anatomy and Medical Microbiology.
That means I spend time explaining concepts, answering questions and helping other students understand subjects in which I have earned distinctions.
Teaching requires preparation, patience and the ability to communicate knowledge. It is work, and it is a contribution, whether or not every session appears on your timeline.
3. INTERNAL MEDICINE CRASH COURSES
I have also started Internal Medicine crash courses on my YouTube channel, organising teaching around topics and units to help other students learn and revise.
You suggested that I should create a platform through which people can benefit from my knowledge. Online teaching is already part of what I am doing.
There is room to develop it further, as there is with any educational project. But something being capable of growth does not mean it does not exist.
4. MENTORSHIP
I mentor junior colleagues and share academic guidance with students navigating medical school.
The value of mentorship is not always captured by a public announcement. Sometimes it is a conversation, an explanation, a recommendation or helping someone approach a difficult stage of their training with greater clarity.
I will not dismiss those interactions simply because they are less visible than a result post.
5. KNOWLEDGE SHARING THROUGH CONTENT
I founded the DYK Instagram platform to share knowledge through content.
Again, this is an example of deliberately communicating beyond my own examination preparation and immediate classroom.
6. PUBLIC HEALTH AND SOCIAL IMPACT
I was selected as a Millennium Fellow in 2024. My fellowship project, The Onco-Aware Initiative, focused on cervical cancer awareness and prevention.
My interests and contributions extend to community health as well as medical education. Helping other people pass examinations is one useful application of knowledge; health education and prevention are others.
7. ACADEMIC AND CAREER GUIDANCE
I have received invitations to speak at academic orientation programmes and about pursuing cardiothoracic surgery.
I take opportunities to share my experience seriously, while recognising that I am still learning and building my own career.
Alongside those contributions, I am proud of the academic record I have worked for:
• Fifteen As in fifteen subjects in my 2014 BECE.
• Nine A1s in nine subjects in my 2017 WASSCE, emerging as the best WAEC candidate in Lagos State that year.
Donye has been complaining about academic excellence going unrecognised since Don Jazzy snubbed him during his giveaway giveaway a couple of days ago.
People were posting their account details and achievements, hoping to get some attention from Don Jazzy.
Donye quoted with screenshots of his distinctions in medical school, his great WAEC results.
he was totally snubbed
Perhaps he felt that his accomplishments deserved more recognition than he was already receiving. And, to be fair, academic excellence is something that should be recognised and rewarded.
However, there is something Donye needs to understand: the value of academic excellence, at least in terms of public recognition, largely ends within the academic environment.
You may be an exceptional scholar. People may admire you, give you money and celebrate your achievements. Some have done that for you already, and rightly so. But that recognition is not going to continue indefinitely. It is often short-lived.
He is a rare scholar, but he is not the only one.
Beyond the academic environment, you will discover that most people do not particularly care about his distinctions, WAEC scores or how many examinations he passed.
There are young students who will admire him, look up to him, become his fanboys and act excited whenever they encounter him
But outside these circles, his achievements may mean very little to people.
And the reason is simple: he has not figured out how to convert those achievements into real value for other people.
He is one of those students who have demonstrated exceptional academic ability, but I have not seen him build a system through which he can teach others how to achieve similar results.
He has not shown people how he studies, how he approach difficult academic problems, the practical steps he takes and how he can help another student reproduce his results.
That is where the opportunity lies.
Donye, If you can take your academic experience, organise it into a practical system and help other students achieve the kind of academic excellence you have demonstrated, you can build an entire career around it.
Think about it. Even if you receive all the recognition and financial rewards you desire today, those rewards will eventually run out. What happens afterwards?
The real opportunity is to build something around your achievements: a platform, a programme, a learning system or a service that helps people who desire the same accomplishments.
There are thousands of students who want to earn distinctions, excel in medical school and achieve outstanding WAEC results. You could build something that helps them get there.
But most of what we see from you is flexing. I had this distinction. I got this score. I achieved this. I received that. I want this recognition. I deserve this reward.
There is very little about the practical steps behind these achievements or how another person can benefit from your experience.
And you cannot expect to make a sustainable living from simply announcing your accomplishments.
This is also why Don Jazzy can overlook your achievements.
He is a musician. He operates in an entirely different industry. He doesn't give two fucks about whether someone has a distinction in medical school.
He probably doesn't even know what the distinction requirements are, let alone the pass mark. Your academic accomplishments are simply not what he is looking for when he gives out money.
This is a problem I have noticed among many exceptionally brilliant students.
They are very good at reading, very good at passing examinations and very good at accumulating academic achievements, but become almost useless when it comes to the workforce, economics and converting their knowledge into tangible value in the real world.
You need to understand that being academically exceptional and being able to create value are two different things.

Ekiti? 3rd most literate state in NG (95.79%), lowest food inflation in 2025, IGR from 650m to 2.6bn, GDP doubled to 4.6trn, No.1 in fiscal transparency for 9 quarters. The real question is what is your state doing?.
It’s how y’all always want to trend at the mention of Ekiti.

She’s correct. The APC’s strategy is hopelessness and it’s easy to wield it because they HAVE put us in a (seemingly) hopeless situation. But we must rise above it. 2027 #TinubuMustGo

Me performing at the first Olympics on the African continent 🥺>>>
“And if we can do so much apart, imagine what happens when 54 nations move as one.
Our diversity is our greatest technology
We carry the dream of Alkebulan
We join Sitoe in our inheritance
This is not just any one nation
This is Africa."

This is no longer just a complaint. I started the race, and my bib number was recorded along the route. I reached the finish line, where officials collected my details and even gave me a medal.
Now, after several hours, they’re claiming I joined halfway and was disqualified. Disqualified for what? Nobody informed me at the finish line!
They posted a picture of another athlete without releasing the actual finishing video. The picture even shows a finishing line that wasn’t there when I arrived, something an official also confirmed.
I’m demanding the full race footage, timing records, bib-number records and official finishing order.
I competed fairly, and I will not accept being cheated or discredited. Let the evidence speak!

I’m still confused about what happened at the Ikogosi race.
When I got to the finish line, I checked properly but didn’t meet anyone there apart from the officials. I even looked around the finishing area and the floor, but there was no sign that anyone had finished ahead of me. At least, if other runners had crossed before me, I expected to see them around.
The officials asked me questions about myself, and I answered everything. They also collected my details and seemed surprised.
They announced that the first 5 elite runners and the first 10 indigenous runners would be called, but when it was time to announce the results, only the first 3 runners were called. No explanation was given about the remaining positions.
I honestly don’t know what happened or what position I finished in. I just want a clear explanation and transparent results. I believe every runner deserves that.

Good afternoon, sir @DONJAZZY
I hope you are doing well, sir. I would sincerely appreciate your support towards my PhD tuition fees. I recently secured admission for my PhD programme, and I am reaching out to humbly ask if you could assist me with any amount towards my school fees.
Furthering my education has always been a dream, and I am determined to make the most of this opportunity. Any support you can offer would go a long way in helping me achieve this academic milestone.
Thank you so much, sir. May God continue to bless and replenish you abundantly. 🙏❤️

I am deeply honoured to have been recognised by JCI Nigeria @jci_nigeria as a Ten Outstanding Young Persons (TOYP) honouree in the category of Academic Accomplishment and Leadership.
I see years of learning, research, mentoring, advocacy, and service. I see the quiet, often unseen work of remaining committed to a purpose, persevering through uncertainty, and continuing to contribute even when the path was not always clear.
To have this journey recognised in a category that brings together two areas that have profoundly shaped my life, academic accomplishment and leadership means a great deal to me.
I receive this recognition with gratitude and humility, and with a renewed sense of responsibility to keep learning, serving, leading with purpose, and creating opportunities for others.
A special thank you to Ebunoluwa Aniala @Ebunoluwaaniala , Project Manager at The Roseline Initiative and Gloria Olarinre @DBlessedGloria , one of our long-standing and dedicated volunteers, for representing me at the award ceremony when I could not attend in person. Thank you, ladies, for standing in for me and representing me so beautifully. I am truly grateful.
To everyone who voted for me, thank you. With public votes accounting for 40% of the final score and the independent judges’ assessments contributing 60%, I deeply appreciate everyone who took the time to support my nomination.
Above all, I recognise that this journey is not one I can take credit for on my own. Every opportunity, every open door, every milestone, and every good thing that has come from this journey has been sustained by the grace of God.
“But by the grace of God I am what I am.” - 1 Corinthians 15:10
This verse captures it all for me. Whatever I am, whatever I have accomplished, and whatever lies ahead, it is by His grace. Every step of this journey reminds me that while we must work diligently towards our purpose, it is God who sustains us, makes a way, and grants us the strength to fulfil that purpose.
To God alone be all the glory.
