NTRODUCTION
My monicker is OLUWALANA OLUWAPELUMI JOHN. I hail from Ilawe-Ekiti, In Ekiti State, Southwest Nigeria. When growing up, am popularly called "Peejay" in my neighborhood. Has I grow up and settle down in life has a secondary school boy, i read a book written by Charles Dickens. In that book he said whatsoever happens in life, life will continue to go on, if not for you, but for others. In light of that, I nicknamed myself "LGO" whose full meaning is Life Goes On.
I took that nickname still my fourth year in the University, due to my apologetic way of interlocution, people tend to see me as always been controversial. Though it wasn't fun to me, because I seem yo be misunderstood, I love to savor every situation I find myself in. Then I changed my nickname to " The Controversial One". That's a long introduction uhm.
WHEN I WAS BORN ?
Though I wasn't there, but I was told I was born one wonderful Wednesday, the very last day in the month of Perfection, i.e July, in the year 1996. And I believe it.
HOW I WAS BORN ?
I was nursed in my womb of my mother for 9 months and when it was time for me to get out, it took the normal passage and it was a matter of time, I was out smiling----crying if you want to disagree.
WHY WAS I BORN ?
Like every other parent, after marriage what next? Every parent needed a child but that is the general purpose. I was not told why I was born. But I was told, it's let me for me to know why? But I was told how to know. Follow your Heart.
MY PHILOSOPHY FOR LIVING.
I found this out in the speech of Steve Jobs to the graduating set of Stanford University in the year 2005, If you live everyday has your last, one day you will certainly be true. So, I make sure I live everyday has if it was my last, I make sure I enjoy both the good and bad each day might bring. An anonymous writer once penned this down, ' I shall pass through this road but once, every good i can do, I make sure I do it, for I shall not pass through this road again.
MY HOBBIES

MY PASSION
