There are different ways of transmitting diseases. I headed the Oyo State Decontamination and Containment Team of the COVID-19 task force. I know that there are so many factors causing the transmission of diseases from animals to humans and one of them is urbanisation. We cut down trees and move into the bushes and we come in more contact with animals. Ecotourism is another factor. Human beings don’t respect boundaries.

Additional quotes by Olanike Adeyemo

No country will help you to develop your own country. If you are getting a research grant, it must be one that favours the country funding it. For us to solve our environmental and health issues, research must be funded by Nigeria. Most of the funds we get are from outside the country but they determine what they want you to research on. They are tied to conditions. Most of them will not solve the basic needs of Nigeria. Only Nigerians can help Nigeria achieve greater development.

I tell the younger ones now that they can be whatever they want to be and it is easier now to navigate. What you do may be different from your calling and you can only excel in the area where your passion is. I also always tell people not to force their children into any profession. Forcing children into professions we want is why we have so many doctors that are not empathetic. They are just there for the name and the money. That is why you go to hospitals and find doctors or nurses that are so mean to patients. But people who have passion for it do it with joy and they show empathy, make sacrifices, and don’t feel it as such. And nobody can excel in any profession they don’t have passion for. I found myself in Veterinary Medicine but I have evolved and I have a passion for it.
