My name is Adekunle Oluwatobiloba Mercy, known as @oluwatobiloba (my Steemit username). I am an Entrepreneur, Junior Lecturer, and cryptocurrency enthusiast. I have a B.Sc from Oduduwa University Ipetumodu (PMB 5533 Ile-Ife), and an M.Sc in Medical Biochemistry from the prestigious University of Ibadan (UI). I am currently a Junior Lecturer at the Technical University Ibadan where I lecture once a week. I am a small business owner with 5 employees/colleagues which qualifies me as an entrepreneur.

I have been in the cryptocurrency/Blockchain world as far back as 2016 and was a user on the Bitcointalk forum where I learned about new events and learned the technology. I am currently running a Diploma course on Blockchain technology with the National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL).

I joined Steemit in 2017 after seeing a thread on Bitcointalk forum by Smooth about Steemit. I have since been active on this great platform, being a vibrant evangelist of Steemit since my first day.

Why I am Suitable To Be A Steemit Crypto Academy Professor

---

---

• Vast Knowledge on Blockchain and Cryptocurrency

Currently, I am undergoing a Diploma course on Blockchain technology with the National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL), I am very versatile with cryptocurrency trading and have been trading cryptocurrency for 2 years now. I have also been a part of several blockchain projects and attended numerous meetups.

• No Time Factor

Asides from lecturing at the class for 2 hours, once a week, I have the entire week to myself, learning and enjoying cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. With this, I have most of my week to put into the Steemit and the academy.

• Team Spirit and the Ability to Deliver

I am known to be a team player, @greatness96 and a lot of people I have worked with can testify to this. I also do not delay in delivering result as I believe that delay isn't a good spirit to achieve success while working.
