INTERVIEW SEGMENT
For this week’s TETE-A-TETE segment, meet our guest...@mr-sakariyau
Tell us about yourself
> I am Abdulwasiu Omotosho SAKARIYAU from Kwara State of Nigeria. I am a Microbiologist. My steemit username is @mr-sakariyau. I obtained my first and second degrees from University of Ilorin and Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta respectively. I enjoy doing scientific research and I watch sports events too.
Why do you love @air-clinic?
> Air-clinic provides the opportunity of meeting medical enthusiasts. It brings health-related matters and knowledge of medicine closer to all users. Even if one doesn't want to read one will do because of the AIRCOIN.
High and low point on steemit
> My low point came when I made my first 2 posts. These posts took much time but attracted no upvote no comment. The high point came when I joined @stemng discord channel. I became much recognized by other steemians and my subsequent posts were highly rewarding.
How do you balance your steemit life and real life
> It's a little bit complicated.
When my real life task demands much time, I give it much time and vice versa
Motivation to study your career.
>From the onset I was never motivated to study Microbiology, Medicine is always my choice. I was denied admission to study Medicine twice but I was later offered admission to study Microbiology. I accepted the offer and I enjoyed it. The motivation came in the process of learning.
Challenges/survival story in your specialty
> Major challenges in Microbiology is the cost implications and availability of equipment for microbiological researches. During my Masters degree, I visited several universities in search of a machine to carry out a particular analysis. Some colleagues sent their samples abroad while some improvised. We surely survived!
Final words
> Knowledge is the greatest resource of man. Let's keep learning, it adds value to life.
