Tolulope Akanni : Author A-Z Life Lessons

Let's get to meet you 

I'm Tolulope Akanni

a 21yr member of the Covenant University Electrical & Electronics Engrg graduating class of 2010

I'm the CEO of a brands, events and consultancy outfit - El Fiz Concept and I'm the author of A-Z life lessons.

Its a privilege meeting you Tolu, what does it feel like taking a step into the real world?
          its been 12 days now...how do you feel? 
I feel great!


hmm..good 
it's been days of fun...more fun than I anticipated, doors have just been openin and the hand of God upon my life has been openin me  up to realms of greatness.
I launched my book just last Friday and it would interest u to know that just this Tuesday I was featured at a Book reading, book signing session at Silverbird galleria wit a mentor to me, international speaker and no1 leadership author, John C. Maxwell.


wow..tell us about your freshly released book? 
A-Z Life Lessons is the chronicles of a 21st century 20year old 
it is a 94 page, 26 chapter book that explores my multifaceted experiences 
a compilation of poems, motivational text, short stories..with a good blend of photography as every chapter has its own unique pictorial expression.


Thats a great achievement! just a quick question... 
ok?


What really spurred your interest into writing?
Boredom and a passion to share and bless lives


y not Business or Elect/Elect..?
*laughs*


I like your outspoken sincerity...especially on the 'Boredom' part
u see, my mission on earth is to help men discover themselves and live life to full potential by providing them wit relevant material for their transformation
cos information is key...knowledge is key...


Yes i agree on that..
knowledge is the new world currency 
so d amount of knowledge that a man has at his disposal is what determines his wealth!


Who are your mentors or role-models..cuz u must definitely have..i guess? 
sure... 
I talked abt them in d last chapter of my book,Rev Sam Adeyemi, Dr. David Oyedepo, Donald J. Trump, Leke Alder...those are my most reverred mentors.


Ok i guess i should grab a copy...is it on E-bay yet? (*puzzled smile*)...just kidding 
jst gimme time...really requests r alrdy comin in from the UK and the US so I shld b touchin e-bay soon


hmm...going global, thats the spirit
that's d dream!





Well thank you so much for your time...
u're welcome anytime.


Any words in closing?
 The fact that ther is a book called A-Z LIFE LESSONs
 ...that was published to international standards
 The fact that the book was endorsed by Leke Alder and Fela Durotoye
 The fact that the book sold 200copies within d 1st 2days of release
 The fact excerpts of the book will be quoted in John C. Maxwell's next book
  is a pointer to the fact that
  1. There is a God
  2. Dreams come true!
      Thank u!
