I am Temitope (my life is worthy of praise…don’t you just love the name? 😁)
My people call me Iyalode, some call me MADAM PRESIDENT 😂… making me feel all so important 😍
Bagged my first degree in 2005 from the University of Agriculture Abeokuta as an Agric Extensionist. Then embarked on the CIM journey (UK) after which I proceeded to bag a Masters in International Business from the University of Gloucestershire
My first job was with the Oyo Ministry of Agriculture,after which I moved on to Lilburn (Lagos). Returned to Ibadan in 2007 to float Eniola Unique Concepts, a one stop store. And in 2008, I took up an appointment with Leventis Foundaton Ilesha (while EUC ran on the side). By 2012, I was back fully on the business lane with a hairdressing salon (grew up with styling skills) and quickly combining this with sales/ marketing.
By 2013, Kykinkz was birthed and God a baby sister in 2018 … Ibadan logistics. Same year, Ibadan Business Hub was birthed and we had the maiden edition of IBADAN BUSINESS FESTIVAL. Then came Enny’s Kitchen, which evolved into processed foods by 2020 (during covid) and the food branch changed to Spaghetti House, as a specialty had been forged.
Back in uni, I discovered my gift as a script writer while with Chapel of Grace Drama unit. I proceeded to publish a free magazine alongside a great team in 2008…and then my first book, STROKES OF LIFE, in 2009 and then a few online scripts, the most prominent being KOGBEREGBE series as published by @toyinfab, many thanks to Ayomidotun Fadeyi. And then in 2018, I ran a blog alongside another awesome team, THA’ OTHER HALF.
I’m super happy, mega excited and filled with crazy energy when I’m creating something new 🤣
I live with ptosis which I love to refer to as the half moon eye 😂. Many people think the eye make me look sexy (like I’m always blinking)…I beg to differ 😩
I love being HAPPY and running after my dreams, but life has taught me it’s almost always too crude to indulge such
