ENGAGE ON HIVE: A PIECE OF MY LIFE JOURNEY.

avatar

Without further introduction. I want to appreciate @galenkp, @tarazkp, @meesterboom, @abh12345 for this creative initiative and the delegation of 2000HP towards a unique idea with a golden goal. Also a shout out to @johnolusegun for introducing me to the Hive platform and making me understand the concept of the Hive community.

The Hive blog is a medium to express your self and feelings in words, videos, graphics and more... I want to use this opportunity to thank the delegator's mentioned above, for this Posting Initiative.

Let me reintroduce my self, I'm Famade Olawale Adewale Robert (Jr). This is "Part" of a journey into my life. Stories are long, am trying to cut a piece of my life journey so far, into this post. Please stay glued and enjoy reading.

I'm going to skip many years of my life behind, and I hope you ain't offended as you read from the upfront of my years.

I attended a boarding house schooling for my secondary education, an only boys school. It was intense, tough, disciplined in every way, a Catholic school (Loyola College Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria). I wish I can post photos of my secondary school days, but its at my parents home and that's a bit far from where am living presently. It was a fun experience and I will never forget about it.

After my secondary education, I furthered into the National institution of Information and Technology (NIIT).

I fell in love with coding, graphics and animation at an early age in life and was privileged to attend an Information and Technology (IT) institution at that time.

After my years of exploring the IT world, I moved to Osun state, to pursue my Bachelor in Science degree (Bsc) in Computer Science, at the prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University University (OAU) in Ile-Ife, Osun state, Nigeria.

Gaining admission into OAU was a huge plus for me, I had the privilege to explore Osun State, do some working on the side while in school, took the time to go after my love for music, and meeting my beautiful Wife @helentee. Life truly is a beautiful journey, and we never can tell how far it can take us, neither the things to expect ahead of us.

MY MUSIC AND I

I love music so much, to an extent of selling my first car in the year 2009, to pay for my studio sections and album project.

I was working for an Internet Service Provider (ISP) Company called Infohub, as a system engineer and schooling at the same time. I saved enough to buy a Mazda xedos salon car, my first car. It brought me so much joy and happiness. My love for music was much stronger than my love for my car, and I had to let it go for my music.

I spent sleepless nights at the studio working on my music album project. Was surrounded with my mates from school, music lovers like me and it was a memorable ride.

I sold my car, spent my hard earned savings on my studio sections and music promotion. Did some amazing photo shoots for my musical project.

Finally the music was out, as you can see in the poster photo below, it was gaining airplay on radio stations, also a good audience on the internet (Okizo by Tino), but no resources to do a musical video. I already spent all I had on my music. It was time to give a 100% focus on my studies, start saving again and put music on the side.

FALLING IN LOVE

Love is a beautiful thing, it was never expected. That's just life, the heart want, what it wants and there is no stopping it. It was an instant connection with @helentee and I bless the day we met.

We were both still in school and trying to figure out our lives, but we knew we were very much in love with each other. Along the line of dating together, I knew I didn't want to let go of these precious diamond. It was time to introduce her to my family and the number one woman of my life (My mum).

We both traveled to Lagos State, and she got to meet my brother, sister and mum.

She was welcomed and loved by my family, and that gave me a good feeling about our future together.

MOVING TO THE CITY OF IBADAN

I did my secondary schooling in Ibadan, never did I expect to come live here after graduation. University days was over, it was time to venture into the working class world. Lucky for me, I got two jobs when I moved to Ibadan. I was lecturing Software & Web programming at an IT Institution during the week, and on weekends, I was a swimming instructor. Both jobs I enjoyed very much.

My jobs gave me enough free time, and I made the best of it. I start attending The Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries Church (MFM) and joined the evangelical group.

I kept in contact with friends from the University days, and we find time to spend together on most weekends.

Fell in love with the game of Snooker and Scrabble, always looking for a worthy opponent.

Living and working in Ibadan was a blast and fun filled experience.

MARITAL LIFE

Behind every successful man, is a gorgeous woman. @helentee has always been supportive towards me and encouraged me to attain greater heights. Over the years of dating together, our love grew stronger and we knew we were going to end up together.

We said our marital vows on the 18th of April 2013. We had our Traditional and Court wedding in Ile-Ife, Osun State.

Our wedding ceremony was blissful, and we knew we were on the right path together.

A year into our marriage, we welcomed the arrival of our first child. My sweet baby boo, Oluwatamilore.

It was a very heart felt memorable day, being a Father. The joy I felt that day, seeing the product of my self and my darling wife.

Two years after the birth of Tamilore, we welcomed our second child, Tiwatope. The baby of the house, as she fondly calls her self.

I'm thankful for my Family, my kids, my journey in life so far and the wonderful future ahead of us.

Life is not a race, but a journey and i'm on route to my destination. I hope you enjoyed reading this piece of my life. Its my Birthday today (Happy Birthday to me), after dropping this post, am going to spend time with my Family.Thanks for your time.

Stay Safe - Stay Strong - Stay Blessed.

Greetings from @tyfamz
