About Me
I am a senior academic with two decades of experience across the three major domains of higher education; I have had the opportunity of teaching, research, and public academic interventions in a College of Education in Nigeria, a University of Technology, and full traditional Universities in South Africa.
I have always been guided by the indisputable truth in the immortal words of Mother Teresa that “everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do”. In this saying,
I have found joy in doing what I love to do. My job as an academic translates the spheres of teaching, research, and community engagement. On the other hand, I am also an author, speaker, teaching coach, and higher education consultant. I love the academic enterprise and I am very passionate about students excelling academically.
My goal is not simply to teach but to inspire, inform and educate scholars to make informed choices in order to maximise their academic potentials; as well as to mentor emerging academics on how to maximise their skills set and escalate their career potentials in order to enhance their impact, build influence and earn proceeds from their rigour.
Over the course of my career, I have been asked numerous questions about how best to select suitable study programs, appropriate institutions to attend, securing adequate financial support, pursuing an international university education, admission processes as an undergraduate student, finding the right supervisor for postgraduate research, and many more academic program related queries.
Leveraging on my firm belief that human beings as creative forces could, through proper guidance, achieve set goals and objectives, I have been able to help hundreds of students and gain clarity with respect to their future education goals, while also facilitating postgraduate admission for some of my graduate students and colleagues.
I have also had students open up to me to appreciate my teaching styles and commend my pedagogic.My personal story with such issues as admissions with generous sponsorship is better told with so many testimonials of my “clients” and that of my daughter securing, on merit, a firm degree offer to study at the highest-ranking and prestigious University of Cape Town, South Africa.
To impact and have a wider reach, I offer training, consulting, and personalised coaching. I plan to share with a wider audience, personal experiences, titbits, some tips, and tricks to navigate the academic space via my mailing list, so don’t forget to subscribe.

Testimonials
“If I had to choose one trait, among many, that Dr. Omotola Onaneye-Babajide has imparted on me as an undergrad student and as a professional – it would be CONSISTENCY. To invest effort, and to be intentional in sustaining the effort. There are many tips and tricks from time-management to planning and organization that we are taught, but even they require consistency in their application to be effective. Any student will tell you how of the decline of zeal and interest as the year (and degree years) progresses, but to be adamant in being consistent is key to achieving the desired outcome. And for that practical lesson, I am forever grateful to Dr. Omotola Onaneye-Babajide.”
