What Happened To Your Childhood Dream(s)?
Written by Adebola Oni
"When I was growing up, one habit I often engage in is day dreaming.
Often times I walk home from sleep and what I do, nearly all the times I spend on the road, is to get lost in my dreams.
I day dream about so many things but at the end of the day, it always dawn on me that these are mere wishes. Unfortunately, no one ever taught me how possible it is to build castles in the air and later live in it by building its foundation on the ground."
The above happens to be the first paragraphs of my first book, The Lessons of Life. After taking another look at these lines, I decided to start a discussion in a Group I belong to. I asked everybody involved to share their childhood dreams and how they have been impacted by these dreams.
Oyetola Daniels: The One Week Banker
Written by Adebola Oni
Is it possible to have a dream right from childhood, achieve it and then throw it away in a week for a higher calling?
This is the exact story of Oyetola Daniels, a young Nigerian and the CEO of Tiffy This N That Ltd, a clothing firm that has it branches both in Nigeria and South Africa.
As a ten year old girl, a Cousin of hers came to live with her family and this lady happens to be a banker. Her dressing sense/styles fascinated little Tola and she made up her mind to become a Banker.
It was a common knowledge because, "...they knew I'm always tripped with my big cousins dressing when she goes to work" says Tola.
She later attended The Polytechnic Ibadan where she studied Banking and Finance. She studied up to the HND level and graduated in 2006.

I was very obedient to my parents though I stood my ground strongly against some of the principles that I thought would not appeal to me. Basically I was a peaceful child.
