To celebrate our CEO in a very unique way, we decided to reach out to our community and ask them to say a few words about him. The result? We had a whole lot of testimonies flooding in from all over the place, [especially from our journal club].

You can leave yours in the comment section.



Knowing you has been a blessing unto me and I appreciate the day our paths crossed. You are full of energy and enthusiasm. Keep soaring higher. Happy Birthday, Sir!

My boss, leader, “egbon”, and mentor… Your guidance has had a great influence on the way I think. The story of my nursing career journey wouldn’t be complete without mentioning how.

You have been an amazing elder brother, friend and leader. Your intentionality towards our growth in all spheres is commendable. Thank you for being a true leader, you are one in a million, very rare. You are God’s sent to us, and we do not take your availability and presence for granted. Your jar of oil will never run dry, and God’s lamp will continue to light your path. Happy Birthday, Sir.

He is a kind person. He is willing to impart knowledge, most especially when it has to do with research. He loves the Lord, and he has mastered the act of selflessness.

Olowu Oluwafisayomi (Cohort 3).

Great people are often identified by their unique ways of exercising humility which is a foundational pathway to greatness. Being visionary and seeing to it that such vision comes to reality is a legacy worthy of all appreciation.

Thanks to Dr Akingbade Oluwadamilare for being such a great mentor, leader and father since our paths crossed. You made me see that I can become and do much more. Thanks so much for believing in me. Wishing you a beautiful new year, with your light shining brighter across the globe.

Nun Damilola (Cohort 3).

Your special day is the perfect opportunity to thank you for inspiring and supporting us through the passage of life and our research career as much as you wonderfully do. Not many people balance it all but you do an amazing job. Not only are you a visionary, but you are a great teacher, an analytical wiz, a compassionate mentor and above all, a great leader. We are glad you sustained one more year! Happy birthday sir. We love you.

Oyama Blessed (cohort 4).

Nurse Akingbade is a selfless man who derives joy in seeing younger nurses grow. The few years I’ve known him have been full of growth on all sides. Thank you for always having time for us. I pray that this new year ushers you blessings.

Happy birthday Nr. Akingbade Damilare. You are such a treasure to young nurses. Thank you for creating a platform for us to learn and develop a passion for nursing research. You will keep shining like the star you are, and your name will be mentioned in key places all over the world. God bless you.

Igunma Helena Chisom (Cohort 3).

Happy Birthday to Bro Damilare Akingbade; a friend, research mentor and teacher. Learning for me, is life-long and my persistent commitment towards research led me to an amazing, selfless, proactive and genuine Damilare whose academic goals and vision incline strongly with mine, especially INTEGRITY. 

Bro Damilare has been involved in my academic pursuit (Master in Education, Master in Nursing and “ongoing Phd”). 

Despite the cultural and professional shock we experienced when I relocated to Canada (with my family) at the peak of COVID, he communicated continuously and ensured I stood strong. 

Thank you for drilling (prepping) me for various pre and post-research defences. The recent U o M version was a walkover for me. 

In all, I am thankful for these gifts that impact us all, for your lovely family and healthy life of yours. Happy Birthday to my brother from Christ Jesus.

O.T (Cohort 1&2).

We are proud and ever remain indebted to him for being an icon in mentoring young researchers. I beseech God to grant him the grace and grit for him to aspire more in life. Kudos.

Mr. Aminu Abdulmajeed (Cohort 1).


It’s never too late to celebrate an exceptional leader, mentor, scientist, researcher, father, innovator and nursing icon.
