Apenuwa Temitope Daniel
Apenuwa Temitope Daniel is a remarkable individual whose intelligence and determination make him stand out. He is not just ambitious but also a relentless goal-getter. I recall him once expressing his academic standard, saying he must not see a "C" in his results again. For him, even a "B" signifies failure because an "A" is his true grade.
Our friendship deepened as we discovered both similarities and differences in our personalities and preferences. We shared the distinction of earning "A"s in Directing Practical Exams, not just once but repeatedly, confirming our shared dedication to excellence. However, our creative inclinations differed—Apenuwa leaned toward modern, foreign plays, while I had a deep affinity for local and traditional themes. This contrast enriched our perspectives and strengthened our bond.
Fate brought us together in a memorable project group during our undergraduate years in 2006, alongside Faturoti Tayo, Latifat Suleiman, Bunmi Ajayi, and Kemi Obadina. The synergy of our team was evident as roles were distributed without conflict. Apenuwa was unanimously chosen as the Artistic Director, while I, Samson Ajayi took on the role of Technical Director. Tayo managed props, Bunmi handled business, Latifat was in charge of costumes and makeup, and Kemi served as the Stage Manager. Indeed, the class of Performing Arts 2006 set of the University of Ilorin, was a beautiful one, as it was blessed with great , intelligent, dexterous, vibrant and highly creative students.
During the preview of the 12 performances slated for the stage that year, Treasure Chamber emerged as the leading act—a testament to Apenuwa's exceptional creative and leadership skills. Despite the challenges he faced, such as lacking sponsorship, he graduated among the best students in our class.
Apenuwa's unique character, unwavering commitment to excellence, and ability to inspire those around him make him an unforgettable individual. If time permitted, I could recount countless instances of his brilliance and character.
Today, we the Alumni Association of Performing Arts Department 2005/2006 set, hereby write to seek the support of every well meaning Nigerians in helping this young man regain his health from Parkinson disease. As Alumni Association we have and are still raising donations from within to support this health campaign but alone e can do so little hence the reason, we seek external assistance. Please note that every little donation will be appreciated. As we are assured that if everyone who comes in contact with this piece can give a token, it will go a long way to restore his health. Apenuwa seeks over 80 Million naira in the treatment of Parkinson through a Stem Cell Transplant. A Go-fund-me was also created for this purpose, find it below with his Nigerian account details i;
