Man, seeing the way this man has a rich mind and bountiful worth challenges me.
Demography and Social Statistics is a specialized field for some universities MSc., e.g. UNILAG.
Demography is even combined with mathematics, or computer science in some schools (Demography + Math, Falls under Faculty of science in UNILAG) They doubled double as statistician, data scientist and all. Nigeria education system is outdated that is why courses like Criminology or Sociology of Deviance are less of an option in the BSc level, even though the social impact is relevant in Nigeria vis-a-vis insecurities. As students of this field can work in the security area such as the NPF.
This is an intelligent conversation... I can watch this over and over!
Thank you so much for watching
Bayo is actually the person to listen to if you want to be pushed to be your best. You almost always find out from listening to him, that the top is for only those that show how bad they want to get there.

To the moon😂🍾
This made me smile so much

One day I hope I will be worthy enough to get an interview from you !
Awww, thanks!
The delay/silence was worth it after all ☺, my favorite video of all time ❤️❤️😂😂
Yayyyy! Thank you for watching
I was about sending a mail to Peace Itimi wondering if all is well when I discovered I don't have her email... Really missed you Peace Itimi, welcome back bright mind.
This is an amazing interview. I see a lot of myself in him, so much drive
I love the challenge, I used to think that not being content is a flaw but it's actually a blessing disguising as a flaw. I want more from my life, each time I accomplish something I want even bigger the next minute.
I still have a lot of work to do cos i'm still very far from my goal.
You sound like you are on the right track. Just keep going
Damn love, keep on doing what you doing, you're going places for, you might even interview me some time in the future, lol, who knows, just keep on keeping on love.
Looking forward to it.
"Work for greatness not for money"... That's a take away for me.
Yayyyy! Share this on Twitter or Instagram with #FoundersConnect and tag me ✨🤗
Wow... this is greatly great and value oriented.
His confidence and charisma is making me feel inadequate.
Mr Bayo Lion, can we do business?
lol. Send him a message
One day I go feature here
Looking forward to it.
