  2. The Goodness of God is undeniable, His integrity, unquestionable and His faithfulness, unmatched. It's been God all the way. Winning the 2021 NATIONAL title and qualifying for the Olympics wasn't by my doing, it was just God and God alone. I wished and prayed for Olympics qualifications and it came at God's own time and I trust God Olympics proper is settled already.. Many thanks to fans and friends all over they world, your support, cheering and believe in me went a long way. All thanks to my Coach, Ayokunle Odelusi, your lot is preserved sir.. I RUN BY REVELATION because, GOD'S POWER IS WORKING 💯 💯 💯. #Tokyo_bound# 🙇‍♂️

  3. I'd have really loved to write alot about this 2021 season, but the more I try, the more words fail me each time. In Summary, this was my season of triumph. Very special thanks to my coach (Ayokunle Odelusi @ayokunle266), my pastor, my babe, my family, my friends & of course you the amazing fans (both home & abroad), you guys rock. We do so much more in 2022 & beyond, by the grace of God. For now, let's give it a break. I love you guys. God's power is forever working 🔥 #runningbyrevelation #enochadegoke #athlete #christian #champion #olympics #adidas

  2. Yesterday, we @techlyticsafrica joined the Industrial Training Fund @trainwithitf and @necathevoiceofbusiness for the graduation ceremony of our Data Analytics, Cybersecurity, and AI learners. I am proud of every student who completed this journey. The work ahead is promising, and the ecosystem is stronger because of you.

  3. I started writing what would be my first book last year, March. Then, I started another one in June this year and stopped along the way. The journey of writing takes a lot of discipline 😫 and less overthinking. Anyways, because I'm a finisher and not a quitter, I have now handed the complete manuscript of the first book over to the publishing house. Over to them. The book initially was supposed to document my journey through BSc. Biochemistry, corporate life in the bank as a salesperson, a kiddies-fashion seamstress at night, and now, creating impact in tech. Along the way, it morphed into a playbook for professionals navigating a similar life journey. Can you guess the book title?
