Using Technology, Data, and Learning Tools to Support Public Health in Nigeria



Public health in Nigeria continues to face major challenges — from preventable diseases such as malaria and cholera to gaps in immunization coverage and health education. While vaccines and preventive measures exist, weak infrastructure, poor data coordination, and limited health awareness still hinder their full impact.

I am Olanrewaju “Lanre” Durojaiye, founder of Lirix Enterprise, with over 11 years of experience in Android, web, and desktop application development, as well as data analysis and cybersecurity consulting. My work sits at the intersection of technology, education, and public health awareness.

Health, Data, and Immunization Research Perspective

Nigeria has not yet achieved a fully built environment that effectively limits disease vectors such as mosquitoes or guarantees clean water systems that prevent outbreaks like cholera. Beyond infrastructure, data-driven planning and education remain critical.

As part of my professional work and research interests, I have been involved in data science approaches to immunization and public health, including predictive thinking around immunization coverage and disease prevention. While this work is currently under academic review, it reflects a broader commitment to applying technology and data to improve health outcomes in Nigeria.

Learning and Awareness Through Technology: Quiz Masters

One practical way technology supports health is through education and awareness. I developed Quiz Masters, a flexible Android learning application that allows different knowledge domains to be uploaded and practiced based on user needs.

The platform supports topics such as:

  • Health awareness and general knowledge

  • Bible and faith-based learning

  • African studies and cultural knowledge

  • Computer science and technology

  • Exam and interview preparation (including scholarship and professional tests)

By allowing organizations or educators to upload tailored question sets, Quiz Masters can be adapted for health campaigns, training programs, and public awareness initiatives, where users can practice and assess their understanding in a simple, engaging format.

Past Health-Focused Mobile Work: TCM App

Earlier in my career, I developed the TCM App, an Android application created to support learning and information sharing within the health and wellness space. Although the app is no longer available on the Google Play Store, it remains an important part of my professional journey.

The project demonstrates:

  • Full Android app development experience

  • User-focused design for educational content

  • Long-term involvement in technology-driven health communication

A demo of the TCM App can still be seen here:

Why This Matters

Health improvement is not only about hospitals and vaccines — it is also about data, education, awareness, and technology systems that support informed decision-making. My work reflects a continuous effort to use technology to support these areas, whether through mobile applications, learning platforms, or data-driven public health research.

Work With Me

I am available for remote projects and consulting in:

  • Android, web, and desktop application development

  • Health and education technology solutions

  • Data analysis and research-driven systems

  • Cybersecurity and secure information systems

There's a way out

Premature ejaculation occur when a man expel semen immediately with minimal penile stimulation. The question is how premature is premature in sex when some individuals enjoy quickie. So premature is a function of both party having the intercourse but according to International society of Sexual Medicine, they define premature as ejaculation less than one minute after penetration. So no matter how much you love quickie, if you don't last more than a minute in bed then it's abnormal. Maybe you're suffering from premature ejaculation. The statistic of men sufferring from it should scare you, 1 out of every 3 men between the ages of 18 - 59 suffers from it. This should give some concern and hope knowing you're not along in it. Many believe it is psychological but let's view their frame of reference and see it biologically. Although ejaculation is a reflex action controlled by the central nervous system, when the penis is trapped with blood, it causes an erection. ...

PrEP vs. Other HIV Prevention Strategies: Education, Condom Use, and Behavioral Choices

While Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective pharmaceutical approach to preventing HIV, it is important to recognize that there are other methods of prevention that can work in tandem or serve as alternatives. These include education, consistent condom use, monogamy, avoiding unprotected sex, and abstinence. Each method has its own benefits and drawbacks, and understanding how they compare can help individuals make more informed choices about their sexual health.   1. Education and Awareness: The Foundation of Prevention Education plays a critical role in preventing the spread of HIV. Knowledge about how HIV is transmitted, the risks of unprotected sex, and the importance of using preventive measures like condoms can significantly reduce the likelihood of infection. Programs that focus on safe sexual practices —including correct condom use, understanding HIV status, and avoiding high-risk behaviors—are essential components of a comprehensive HIV prevention strategy. ...
