Dear 04s, our votes gave birth to our very first star and it is most necessary we get to know her, this is what she has to say about herself, so we present to you Iphie (as she is popularly known)
My
name is Ifeyinwa Osarhieme Obiechina, born in Benin city but bred and buttered
in Abuja from the day I was a month old. I have lived in Abuja all my life, had
my primary education there, my secondary education was all over the place,
Abuja, kaduna, almost did a stint in Jos but the fighting
pushed me to conclude my secondary education in Benin. I started out my University education at igbinedion University where I was studying law but
moved over to University of Abuja when I got admitted to study law, that is how
I became a member of the best family of our time, the law family of 2004.
My
time as an 04ite was fun, I had some of the greatest moments with this family.
I like to stick to what I know, so I stuck with my circle, this made a lot of
people jump to conclusions about me and once the got to know me, they usually
go, ' I didn't know you were like this oh'.
After
Gwags, I proceeded to the Nigerian Law School lagos, it was an opportunity to
learn the law and get close to other 04ites that I previously only said hello
to.
After
the call to bar, I served with a law firm in Abuja and went ahead to pursue a
masters degree after that. I studied international business law at Anglia
Ruskin University, Cambridge UK. I went for this course because I have always
been fascinated with they way companies can empower communities within which
they operate and went ahead to write my dissertation on Corporate Social
Responsibility.
I
am back in the country now, awaiting the award of my final result and so
pending that, I work at the law firm where I served.
I
am presently single but not in a hurry to be in a relationship. I believe we
all have our 'the one' out there waiting for, there is no need to rush, so why
settle for less while waiting for him or her to appear!
My
stay in the UK helped me develop all round, it's was while I was that the the
blog, www.abjlovingabujaliving.blogspot.com
was born. I was joined by Adesuwa and together we hope we can inspire change in
Nigeria and also inspire young people to follow their dreams. I also run the Me
For Change Initiative, an initiative which is aimed at changing Nigeria, one
person at a time.
Now there you have it!. Please as agreed lets send her a token of a hundred naira recharge card each...thats the fun, imagine receiving that from hundred people? isnt that love? She uses airtel- 08180259158. Not too much for a star huh? it could be you next.
Gracias
