Written by Adebola Oni
"When I was growing up, one habit I often engage in is day dreaming.

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."

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.

Interview With Damilola Oluwatoyinbo
Written by Adebola Oni
I need to SERIOUSLY clear my throat and even shake my pen! When the idea for this Role Model interviews was muted by a friend, I never knew we will get to this level! Every passing day, I meet a lot of inspiring Nigerians, I read about some online and in other news media. Anytime I happen to see a young Nigerian doing something great, my heart ALWAYS leap for joy!
Today is another SPECIAL day to feature someone I have known for a pretty long time. A young, IMPACTFUL Nigerian doing so many wonderful things all over the world! I cannot describe all that this young man is all about, but I can do that in one sentence, A ROLE MODEL!

It’s been pretty long that we did this. Naijamotivation Interview went off for a while because of my book launch and now we are back BIG and BETTER. Today we’ve caught a BIG fish, a lady that has took up the challenge of transforming the lives of youths all over the nation.

May we know you?
Oluwatoyosi Akerele but people know me as OLUWAMITOYOSIRISE of the most high.
What was growing up like for you?
I’m the first child in the family. I have two wonderful sisters and a brother. Growing up, I was very stubborn but not rebellious. I was confident and not arrogant. 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.
Are you married?
