THE GENESIS

Hey there! I am kiki_ola. That's actually an excerpt from my name. My name is Oloyede Peter Okikiola (which translates to "full of wealth" in my mother's tongue). I am from the western part of Nigeria, Ogun State precisely. I am the only child of my parents .

I was born and bred in one of the slums in Lagos before moving to our permanent residence in Ogun state. Growing up being the only child of the family (which I find very unfair), I found myself always busy with tasks like doing the dishes, school assignments, sweeping and so on. I was always left with unsaid anger but I often find solace in music and books.

My love for books led me to cultivating the habit of penning down my day-to-day activities (with no readers, lol). My love for writing then brought me across a friend and a brother of like passion @ijohnsen who after thoroughly lecturing me, introduced me to this great platform where I can share my struggles, successes, wins, setbacks and ideas with great people like you all.

Things I do during my leisure time aside writing include: singing( I play the guitar), eating (I love fooddd), traveling and meeting new people.

As at the time of writing this post, I am a final year student of Electrical and Electronics Engineering in The Federal Polytechnic Ilaro (I once had a dream of being a medical doctor, that's a story for another day though).

With the experience I've gathered behind the four walls of school, I think I'm ready to take the outside world by storm. Asides working in my field of study, I wish to take writing as part-time job which makes me believe I'm in the right place.

I have taken teaching as a job which I performed to the best of my ability and I've also worked as an electrical technician, all done during my holiday.
