Here are six other great stuffs you should know about him.

2. Architecture genius

Before heading for Moscow to conquer the medical field, Victor had obtained a degree in another area – Architecture. He graduated with First Class from the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA). That was in 2005.

Victor Olalusi has a track record of academic excellence. He was honoured by Nigeria’s education ministry last Wednesday.

5. “Ajepako” schoolboy

One would think Victor was schooled in one of those “standard” private schools. Well, he wasn’t.

6. What the Russians say about him

The Russian Embassy said Victor (or Viktor if you wish), like many other Nigerians, is exceptional.

“Nigeria is blessed with abundant human potential which is officially acknowledged in Russia,” Mr Artem Romanov said on behalf of the Russian Embassy.

“It has been acknowledged in the Russian Ministry of Education that Nigerians have a lot of exceptional talents. Genetically, Nigerians grasp knowledge easily.

“Victor is a hardworking person. It is not easy to achieve such in Russia; it goes with talent and hard work.”

Romanov then offered the most important advice of all.

“I urge you to engage your knowledge in the development of your father land.”
