Who is Omolarami Akindiji and some of her romance novel writing achievements: Creating conflict in your novel is a given, otherwise, there would be no story. If all went smoothly it would be as dull as dishwater, wouldn’t it? They all lived happily throughout the story and ever after, yawn… I’ve listed seven ways you can inject suspense into your novel: Introduce Your Characters to Their Worst Nightmare! Find out about your characters beforehand. If possible, write up their likes and dislikes, etc, and most importantly of all, find out what it is they fear most? What is it that causes their hearts to thump loudly, beads of perspiration to form on their upper lips, and the hairs on the back of their necks to stand on end? Find out what that thing or things are, and then give it to them, both barrels. Find more info at Lara Ayodeji-Akindiji.
Born in Lagos, Nigeria in March 1985, Omolarami and her family relocated to the UK when she was just a year old. She completed her primary and secondary education in the UK and then proceeded to Brunel University where she obtained her first degree in English. She went on to do a Graduate Diploma in Law where she passed and the Legal Practice Course where she obtained a commendation. Omolarami said she decided to study law because she wanted a career that would challenge her. “After my degree I was looking for a career that required me to think, to be challenged daily and to meet the welfare of other people and law,” she said. “I underwent several work experiences and fell in love with the daily challenges faced by solicitors, the client interaction and the ability to assist someone in their time of need.”
Omolarami Ayodeji-Akindiji also takes part in various TV programs! Omolarami Akindiji is back at it again. It was an honour to be asked to come on TV and talk about Immigration which is such a hot and emotive subject. As I was walking out of my house to make my way to the studio where the interview was to take place I tripped and sprained my ankle. My phone and my mac press powder went flying and landed smack in the middle of the road.
Like any 21st century woman would do I risk life and limb and crawled into the middle of the road to rescue my precious phone and make up before a car ran over them (Ladies I couldn’t save the press powder) but my phone was only had scratch and was fully functioning.
After all that whala, I usually would be like “it’s not that serious” and wobble my pretty behind back into the house. However; a small still voice said to me, “ call an Uber”. I am so glad I did, I got to go on TV and speak on a subject that matters to so many people. Moral of the story, if Plan A does not work, you still have 25 more letters and 364 more days in a year. The devil doesn’t know what to do with someone who does not give up, so make him jobless
Despite her achievements abroad, she hasn’t completely forgotten about home. “I do have desire to return back to Nigeria and practice law there and will be undergoing Christmas and Easter work placements at Lagos firms which will provide me with an in-depth insight of the working dynamics within a Nigerian law firm, Nigerian law and offer a taste of life as a Nigerian lawyer. From there I believe I can make a more educated decision as to whether I should continue my legal aspirations in the UK or in Nigeria.” In addition to that, she coordinates and organises volunteers at the free legal advice centre at Barnet Sure Start, a government funded initiative in West Hendon & Underhill.
