Thank you so much for the 💛. 2025, we built the largest youth based substance abuse prevention and support initiative in Nigeria with global reach, turning advocacy, education, recovery support, & community engagement into measurable action saving lives. 🙏 2026 let’s do more.
Another year is a gift, don’t trade it for addiction. Say no to drugs. Protect your future.
To everyone who stood with the Drug-Free Project in 2025, thank you. In 2026, we need you louder, stronger, and more committed than ever.

Happy birthday 🎊🎈🎉 My Oga and my Leader.
May God grant you your heart desires. Thank you for leading the way and setting the pace. I am loyal.
God is within her, she will not fail - Psalm 46:5
From my first year birthday, growing up in Ipaja, watching Gani Fawehinmi passionately fight for justice during the military era, to my first year at Obafemi Awolowo University pursing law as a first generation lawyer, to my final year in school, call to bar, youth service, first and last day at paid employment, solo practice and 3 office premises later, I say without equivocation that God has been faithful.
What a journey- He renewed my strength and made me soar on wings like an Eagle.
What a promise kept by God- Grateful for the days of no wind and no rain yet my valley was filled with water.
Thankful to one who sends and backs me up- Ọ̀ránmọníṣẹ́ Fàyàtí
My life remains a story of God’s amazing Grace.
Happy birthday to me 😊

Not a picture but some interesting angle.
Everyday In 2024 I asked one person, what is their biggest lesson in life so far.
Hopefully 🤞 Next year I’ll publish a book 📕 sharing the lessons and my thoughts on each lesson.
I wish I can do this again but this time differently.
Drug Free Project goes to Igumale, Benue State this week and I want you to join us, fund us, support the campaign. Let’s get to the young people before drugs do. Thank you 🙏. Have a beautiful week.
Dear All,
If your children are misbehaving and you would like to give all you have or some of what you have, either in your life or when you’re gone, to a charity, you may consider the @drugfreeproject or speak with me for a recommended charity.
We guarantee our charities will help improve the life of so many people, including women, young people, children and even “yours” 😃 🤗.
Thank you 🙏.
Dear Coach AI, see how these people have desecrated Anfield and torn the team apart !!! 😔
Is it the injury, the red card or you our coach ?
It’s too early to begin an AI out campaign.
Do we stand with AI ?

As the days come by, more children may begin to sue their parents for “Actions and Occurrences before birth”. (Wrongful birth and wrongful life actions)
Research and developments in medicine might however change the genotype dynamic at huge costs, however till then, the recommendation is to stick to the current genetic counseling advisory.
Thank you 🙏 JJ.
There is no law stopping two people with the SS genotype from getting married, and there shouldn't be. The same goes for two AS carriers. Who you marry is a human right, and the law has no business deciding that.
But the absence of a law cannot mean the absence of a conversation. We have to do far more to discourage these unions. When both parents are SS, every child they have will be SS.
AS + AS is the quieter danger, and the bigger one. Each child of such a couple has a one in four chance of being SS. Many couples hear that number and tell themselves the odds are on their side. Some get lucky. Many don't, and some have more than one SS child. Because AS carriers far outnumber SS individuals, these pairings produce most of the sickle cell children born today. Many of those couples never checked their genotype until a child fell ill.
Either way, it is the children who pay, with pain crises, endless hospital visits and lives built around a condition they never chose. Until science makes sickle cell far less of a burden, this is a responsibility we cannot shy away from.
Know your genotype before you fall in love, not after. Too many children are suffering in ways that could have been avoided.
A short movie 🍿 🎥
We are on the move, saving lives and solving problems.
We never knew the journey would take this turn but we are not going to stop 🛑. In fact we are now more committed than ever to preventing the next person from dying.
Substance use is still one of the deadliest dangers this generation will battle with.
Will you be a part of the army or … ?

“I am Unstoppable” is the theme of this year’s Victory Life World Convention 2026 #VLWC2026 hosted by the blessed convener, Gods servant, my own father, mentor, love being and sacrifice personified @bishopmikebamidele (Check last slide to see the fine gentleman).
The convention was definitely Unstoppable open heavens time. I had my own miracle. Had a session on Thursday morning and just minutes after speaking, I had a long awaited miracle confirmed. (If you know, you know)
Thanks to all our speakers especially Apostle @albertoduwole whose sessions were so powerful I caught fire 🔥 for new dimensions and @officialpeterneu for being a transgenerational blessing to us, beating all the logistics of Nigerian roads and global schedules to bless the Victorious people.
To our speakers Pastors Dipo Oyedero @oladipooyedero , Joshua and Jane Hamzat , Bisi and Felicia Ige @bisiige , Rev Amao , Dr Faith Bamidele @wholeness_hub , Dr Goke and Joke Aiyegbayo @elizabeth_aiyegbayo , Pastor Ola Jones @oljones65 , Bishop Olubadejo, Bishop (Prof) Dapo Asaju thank you for sharing and rightly dividing the word of truth. We are blessed.
Special thank you 🙏 Pastor @segunoduyebo for coming to raise a new generation of Kingdom seekers, answer hard questions and refix hearts during those youth seminars.
To the Ministers Seeds, and my family, inner circle squad @victoria_ebun @theloved_faith @belovedoluwadamilare @gabrielolowu innyxvii @babylet_n Thank you 🙏 making this convention go smoothly. To the Media team, @victory_intl thank you 🙏 for making this one super fun. Even me sef do content. Maybe I’ll do one more convention post to capture my wonderful convention experience.
On to the next.

You can still launch a copy or sponsor a number of copies for young people as we reach young people before drugs do.
Alongside this short story, the @drugfreeproject also has other materials like free exercise books, coloring books , stress balls, keyholders and advocacy materials that can be bought in our merch store.
Thank you 🙏

2005 I guess.
I remember you designed one of our church, (Victory Chapel) calendars around that time, Springhill and Eden days.
Kudos to the superstar Sir Ope Awo.
I started my “tech” career as a designer. Here are throwback designs from 21 years ago. @nacossoau @Nacoss_OAU

Stories have a way of preserving the message.
Sometimes when we speak to young people, we may not get the attention of all of them, but with #TobisEscape in their hands, there’s a tool that keeps the message alive.

Thank you 🙏 to all those who have made this happen. Thank you sponsors, partners, launchers, donors and volunteers.
Together are making the world a better place.
It also has activity/coloring pages which makes it acceptable to wider age range.
The @drugfreeproject is making giant strides. We want you to be a part of our mission.
Our dream is to ensure that every life is preserved in good health, promoting hope and love by preventing substance abuse and supporting recovery.

Guess who did a review of “Tobi’s Escape” , the Fantastic Tantostic.
The young lady that I work for, my kind daughter, read this book 📕 in a few hours on a train trip and did a review.
I don’t agree with the fantastical part though. Maybe 🤔 it was intended as superlative for fantastic 😃.
Check her review below. 👇
“Tobi’s escape is an amazing book that makes you laugh and cry at the same time this book is wonderfully written with thought about other people’s experience, this is a MUST read.
This book is about a boy called Tobi who has an abusive father and a broken mother, Tobi’s grades start to slowly decline every day until one day a bad boy gets him to smoke and take drugs to “lessen” the pain but in reality it ends with a life threatening near end situation.”
“Bestest reviewer of Tobi’s Escape
-Tantoluwa Bamidele. “
This is what she referred to herself as oh.
My Oga madam says you should get a copy so she can get her share of the deal and marketing commission 😀.
Is this review part review, part spoiler ? Or just review 😀.
💜 💜 💜.
Some stories entertain, others transform, whilst some are able to do both.
TOBI'S ESCAPE is one of those short stories that can both entertain and transform.
On Sunday, 26th July, you'll discover why Tobi made the decision that changed everything.
One decision. One journey. One story you won't forget.

Thank you Brotherly @timidakolo, you made my day and probably my week now, after that very genuine question from yesterday.
I’ll tell you why.
One week ago, @drugfreeproject , DFHSAPSI’s flagship celebrated its one year anniversary, and that Sunday morning, shortly before our anniversary volunteer virtual meeting in the evening, I met Timi at the airport.
We were both waiting for our flights (luckily we were on the same flight) and whilst we waited, we got into a conversation about the substance abuse crisis in Nigeria and globally. (The day before was the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, and we had a state house event organised by NDLEA, UNODC, MTN, EU.)
Timi shocked me, he doesn’t drink and hasn’t used any substances, his method was to flee, and surround himself with people who respect his choices. I was surprised. He also didn’t know how much damage drugs were doing, but was an active supporter of recovery and rehabilitation having encouraged and supported people in recovery.
Instantly he connected me with someone in Jos who runs a rehabilitation service and who he thinks we could work together. I was happy. I gave him our drug free project IEC and one of our merch, the stress ball, he was like, I love stress balls. I’m happy that meant something. A souvenir that can pass the message and relieve stress.
If this encounter and all the things connected to it made my day, then how did it make my week, you might ask ?
Yesterday I was privileged to be one of the speakers at Obafemi Awolowo University, Drug Free Club’s week grand finale @drugfreecluboau (I’ll probably share photos and videos from this soon) and a young lady asked a question,
How do we campaign against substance abuse when media and role models for young people we speak to at outreaches use drugs?
I jumped at an answer,
Check my answer and continuation of story in comment section.
Show them those who don’t. Apart from the so many other solutions I mentioned, one major is to show them @timidakolo , show them @iam_smalldoctor drug free advocate (this one shocked many of them as it initially shocked me before
@KingPexxie said to me, Man does not use any substance and is committed to the drug free life and helping others🫡, show them @DAVIDJONESDAVID , who has been a consistent lone voice, using his skill to advocate over the decade.
So , Dear Timi, and every super star who chooses not to use substances especially those who choose to be drug free advocates, you make our job easier. You make young people who want to say No, believe that it is possible.
I know there was once a Celebrity Drug Free Club, I believe we can restore it. and young people will see once again that there are stars ⭐️ who choose life, who say no to drugs and who excel in their field of endeavor.
Thank you 🙏
