Tell us about the job you do

I am a dentist and I offer all dental health related care. I do dental cleaning, extractions, root canal and dental emergency services, sealing and restructuring of the teeth.

Was this your dream profession when you were growing up?

When I was a little boy,  I attended the first wedding and it was for a doctor in our village. I was inspired by his speech and from then, I knew I wanted to become one.  I wanted to be a surgeon but somehow,  I ended up as a dentist.  Over the years, I have worked in several dental clinics and I have grown to love the profession. I have had good mentors along the way and I feel I could not be in a better place than dentistry. 

What makes a good dentist?

It is the need to serve the people and focus on service not earning.

How do you deal with clients who want to get free services?

Those who are in pain, I attend to them because saving life comes first.  Some people have no money but indeed they desire to be treated.

In your view, what makes a  woman attractive?

Kindness. I like someone who is responsible with sense of humor and respectful. I cannot associate with selfish individuals and those with unscrupulous character.

What is the longest time you have spent on a patient?

I took four hours undertaking dental cleaning on a patient. Both the patient and I were happy with the results.

Who is that person you would like to meet before you die?

Benjamin and Celina of Africa Renewal Ministries. I  hail from a humble background and I had no hope that I would get an education or a decent life. But those good Samaritans came through for me and sponsored my education. I hope to meet them some day.  I also want to be like them. 

What would a woman do that would make you call it quits?

I cannot put up with a lazy and self-centered woman.

How did Covid affect you?

I got all the time I needed to reflect on my career progress and the strategies I needed to take in order to establish my clinic. 

Would you date a woman richer than you?

If she is willing to submit, has  values, a good personality and the right attitude, I would not have a problem.

Would you date a doctor?

Sure.  Why not? Apart from the professional tag, they are human beings just like any other person. I have no doubt they can good wives and mothers.
