Since Christmas Day 2019, Right Minds Foundation has been feeding, clothing, and championing the dignity of the mentally ill on the streets of Ibadan — one life at a time.
On Christmas Day 2019, a man stepped out of his home and began feeding the mentally ill on the streets of Ibadan. No organisation. No funding. No fanfare — just a deep, personal conviction that these forgotten people deserved to be seen, fed, and cared for.
One of them shouted "Merry Christmas!" after receiving his food pack and soft drink. That moment became the founding heartbeat of everything that followed.
That quiet, five-year personal mission grew into a registered foundation. In May 2024, Right Minds Mental Health Foundation was formally registered with the CAC — a legal home for a mission that had always been real.
Everything we do is rooted in one conviction: every person on those streets — regardless of condition — is a human being worthy of dignity, care, and a chance at recovery.
Regular feeding outreaches to the mentally ill on the streets of Ibadan. What began on Christmas Day 2019 remains our most immediate act of compassion.
Providing clothing to those walking naked or scantily clad on the streets — restoring basic human dignity one garment at a time.
Facilitating access to proper mental health assessment, treatment, and management. Medical care — not indifference — is the right response.
Our flagship youth programme — free, campus-based seminars where accomplished professionals share raw stories of resilience. Six editions so far and more in the pipeline.
Working with the Oyo State Government to transition the mentally ill off the streets into rehabilitation centres — towards our 10-year vision of a dedicated care facility.

The SES brings accomplished Nigerians face-to-face with university students to share unfiltered stories of adversity and triumph — building the mental resilience that guards against drugs, cultism, and despair.
The man behind Right Minds Foundation did not begin with a budget, a board, or a business plan. He began with a burden — a deep, personal grief over the mentally ill men and women he saw daily on the streets of Ibadan, abandoned, naked, and forgotten.
On Christmas Day 2019, he acted on that burden alone. For five years, that quiet personal mission grew — through his own resources, through the support of those who believed, and through an unshakeable conviction that these were not social problems to manage, but human beings to restore.
"One of them shouted 'Merry Christmas!' after receiving the food pack and soft drink. That five-year journey has led to the registration of Right Minds Mental Health Foundation." — The Founder · Christmas Day, 2019
His vision extends beyond feeding and clothing — he wants Ibadan's streets cleared of untreated mental illness within a decade, a dedicated rehabilitation centre built, and a Nigeria where the mentally ill are treated, not tolerated.
Since 2019, every outreach day, every seminar, every garment given represents a real person — seen, served, and given a chance at dignity. These numbers are just the beginning.
Every naira given goes directly to feeding, clothing, and caring for the mentally ill on the streets of Ibadan — and to building a future where no one is left behind.
Beyond cash, we welcome in-kind support that directly powers our operations.
