Showcasing the Nigerian visionaries and innovators who inspire change and shape the future of healthcare. ✨

Meet Dr. Fola David, the “doctor by day, artist by night,” who’s redefining what it means to heal. As a practicing physician and hyperrealist artist, he uses his craft to spotlight real people living with vitiligo, albinism, and other skin conditions, transforming stigma into strength through bold storytelling and striking visuals.

Through his Foladavid Care Foundation, he provides free medical outreach and creative education to underserved communities, proving that empathy, art, and medicine can work hand in hand to change lives.
His message is clear: every story matters, and every body is worthy of care, visibility, and dignity. #sarivahealthcare #foladavid #foladavidfoundation

This was my first speed painting performance in Europe. The 8th Edition of the Estoril Conferences in Cascais, Portugal 2023.
I was invited to do a speedpainting and also talk about my work @foladavidfoundation where I carry out free healthcare projects.

I painted an image of one of the children who benefited from my foundation’s work in Anambra State while videos showing my foundation’s outreaches played on the screen. This painting was done upside down in 8 minutes and now hangs at the NOVA Medical School as part of its collection.

NIGERIANS INSPIRING US

It's been quite a season, and January to July in Nigeria has been a roller coaster ride for millions.

So much going on, so many lows, some in betweens and a few highs that gave us some hope, made us happy, brought us together across ethnic groups, creeds, professions, age groups, financial status and showed our true Nigerian spirit.

Nigerians 🇳🇬 are go-getters, resilient, support, and show up for our own.

Reflecting on the past 7 months and the past 3 days, I was given some joy and a sliver of hope remembering 2 young and admirable Nigerian men, who both attempted breaking and setting new GWR records for Chess and Drawing.

They inspired and inspire us, brought us joy, a sense of pride, and sought with their attempts to unite our much fragramented country.

Thank you, Mr. Tunde Onakoya @tunde_onakoya and Dr. Adefemi Gbadamosi aka Fola David @dr.foladavid , for all you have done and doing for yourself, communities, love for humanity and country.

What your Chess In Slums Africa and Fola David Foundation are doing for the undeserved, children, families across our country and continent are quite commendable.

They have several things in common like playing chess and being TDHs 😊 but what I love particularly about them is their love for and work in communities with the downtrodden and children.

Set awon Yoruba Angels 😊 !
Ese pupo o!

Mighty thanks to your managers, teams and those who sponsor and support your initiatives.

Ile ise yin o ni jona o !
Amin.

Edakun, which lifestyle magazine is going to put these 2 men on the cover and take us through their journeys with indepth interviews?

That would be a collectors item.

I'm looking forward to such a publication abi shul I do it ?

Continue to stay grounded and human, guys.
We need people like you in this country and world.

Keep shinning and thriving ✨️!

ART FOR KIDS, Elekahia, RIVERS STATE with Project Maya 2024.

Whenever I get to spend time with children doing creative projects, I feel very fulfilled. I imagine that when I was 8-11 years old, I met a doctor who is also an artist, coming all the way from another state to teach me and show me how to paint, my passion for art would be on another level from that young age! This is the opportunity that I want all the kids to have because I didn’t have such. I hope I am able to ignite the fire and empower these kids with not just the skill but the interest and passion to create and pursue their dreams.

Thank you @rsfworld for bringing me on, my family Tolaram for the generous support, @marvll_the_greatest you came all the way with your brother to inspire these kids, @praiseart_ you are an amazing soul, and to the entire team, THANK YOU!

Over a year ago, I was called to partake in an idea with @lashma__ .To train children who have an interest in fine-arts and give them a platform from which they can set off on their journey of creative expression and individual fulfillment all of which resonates strongly with what @foladavidfoundation stands for.

We worked with orphanages across lagos state selecting these children who show a passion and indicate their interest in this project.
A 3 day workshop was carried out which had the support and attendance of the First Lady of Lagos State Dr. Mrs. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, the LASHMA Permanent Secretary @manuella_zamba, my dear brother @iyanya and all staff of @ekosocialhealthalliance @lashma__

This video shows the finale of this beautiful idea and the beginning of new lives for these children and many more to come. It was also a fundraiser for the Eko Social Health Alliance which will be channeled to help the disabled and less privileged in underserved communities with access to healthcare. I am so glad I can use my gifts in such a way and I do not take it for granted. Thank you to the Executive Governor of Lagos State His Excellency, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu for the tremendous support to this project and to @sterlingonefoundation also. This is just the beginning.

Thank you
