Telling Africa's Stories to the World

Abiola was the video producer on the creative team during my tenure as CMO at Andela. I cannot praise him or his work highly enough. As a team member, Abiola has it all: a positive, can-do attitude, tremendous work ethic, and a supportive colleague. He was beloved by his peers. As a video storyteller, Abiola delivers incredible work. Humans of Andela was a sweeping brand project launched in 2024 and he was a driving force behind the filming, production and edit of those assets. They capture very human stories of engineers from around the world and are a testament to his quality of work. I would absolutely hire Abiola again!

Abiola has a unique ability to transform concepts into visually stunning and compelling stories. His eye for detail, combined with an innate understanding of storytelling, ensures that every video he works on captures the audience’s attention and conveys the intended message effectively. Whether crafting cinematic commercials, engaging social media content, or complex interview videos, he acclimates seamlessly to the style and tone required for each project. Abiola is a fantastic collaborator and communicator; he listens attentively to client needs and consistently delivers work that exceeds expectations. His ability to stay calm under pressure and meet tight deadlines without sacrificing quality makes him an outstanding teammate and a must-have contributor to any video project.

Abiola and I collaborated on projects, including a go-to-market video for a product feature we launch called "Code Playback". From the outset, he was incredibly attentive during the scoping and briefing process, asking thoughtful questions to clarify expectations. He turned around the project not only on time but ahead of schedule, maintaining excellent communication throughout. Abiola is an outstanding visual storyteller whose unique abilities and warmth greatly enhanced the quality of every project we worked on together. I am confident his creativity, technical expertise, and collaborative spirit will make him an invaluable asset to any team.

We worked together on the Humans of Andela series, a documentary series profiling skilled technologists across Africa. Watching Abiola in action was nothing short of inspiring. He led his film crew with unwavering respect and dedication, all while creating an environment so comfortable and supportive that our documentary subjects brought their absolute best to the camera. Abiola is nothing short of extraordinary, and his talent, team spirit, and humanity are second to none. I cannot recommend or praise him highly enough, and I'm so excited at the prospect of working with Abiola on future projects. I can’t wait to see where his brilliance will take him next.

As a person, he is a genuine, stellar human being and a true pleasure to be around. His positivity and commitment to doing the absolute best did not go unnoticed as he helped bring the Humans of Andela to life. Everyone Abiola dealt with had nothing but praise for him and he was an integral part of our Marketing team. Although I didn't manage Abiola directly, I never heard anything but positivity from his manager and his peers truly valued him as a colleague. I would recommend Abiola in a heartbeat to anyone looking for high-quality video work and wouldn't hesitate to work with him again in the future.

What truly sets Abiola apart is his remarkable ability to tell powerful stories through film, seamlessly weaving narratives from person to person in a meaningful way. Not only is he an outstanding filmmaker, editor, and videographer, but he’s also an incredibly kind and genuine soul who brings out the best in every project and team. If you’re looking for a top-tier creative professional, look no further than Abiola—he’s the real deal. Any organization would be lucky to have him!

Abiola possesses a growth mindset that is truly commendable. His eagerness to learn and adapt to new technologies and trends in the rapidly evolving field of video production has contributed to our team's continued success. His proactive approach to professional development and learning reflects a commitment to staying at the forefront of industry advancements. Abiola is a valuable asset to our team, embodying creativity, collaboration, leadership, and a growth mindset. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any role that demands a combination of technical expertise, teamwork, and forward-thinking innovation.
