Omobolanle Adeyemo called Omoby by friends and family is a professional Quantity Surveyor and Construction Manager, a Writer, and an Author of her debut book, “ALERO”. She holds a master’s degree in construction management from Sheffield Hallam University, United Kingdom, having undertaken her bachelor’s degree in Quantity Surveying from the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria.
Omoby started her working career with a Lagos-based Quantity Surveying firm and continued with other Prestigious Construction/ Quantity Surveying Firms where she has gained practical experience in Building Construction, Mechanical and Building Services, Civil and Heavy Engineering Projects. Omoby holds membership qualifications with the Canadian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (CIQS), Canada, the Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (NIQS), Nigeria, the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), both in the United Kingdom. Omoby has passionate interest in building construction and engineering projects and a parallel passion for counselling and teaching singles in areas of relationships, careers, and purpose.
She is a social media influencer and helps brands to push their business on her over 77K Facebook followers. Omoby is also a Relationship Counsellor. Her message boils down on teaching young ladies and men to maximize their single life. She teaches that marriage is not all a woman is made to achieve.
She wrote Alero because she realised a lot of single ladies are only just interested in dating and in love relationships, they seem to believe that dating would fix all their problems. “I am not saying this is bad, but I am worried that they’re not even concerned about who they date or being ready to date. There is something that’s called being emotionally, mentally stable to be able to handle the rigors and complexities of a relationship. Dating is beyond just having a guy to fund your lifestyle or bragging about having a man, it involves dating for the right reasons, ensuring you’re the right person for the one you’re dating, and being self-aware while you date.”
She went further to explained that she had to ink Alero because many young ladies are worried about their single status, having palpitations about their age, jumping into relationships without any clear-cut plan for your life or what you want. “I mean, many young girls have not come to terms with their single state. Some of them even go as far as buying an engagement ring for themselves to create that false impression of having a man, you know where you start telling lies of an imaginary boo.”
It is expected that through this book, girls would know how to date right, they would understand why it is important to also date at the time they are mature and emotionally stable enough. “By reading Alero, they would understand that marriage is not the “next level” to achieve in life. And even if you’re not dating, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. If you get married simply because you’ve finished a particular phase of life and think marriage should come next, you may be putting yourself under unnecessary pressure – this and more are the reasons I wrote Alero.”
Omobolanle Adeyemo is married to the first and only guy she has ever known or dated. They are close to marking their five years into of a union that has produced a son.
They live in Ontario, Canada. And if you know her you know she brags about her husband and the home they built together. “He is a great man, consistently working to make our home a haven. He pushes me to achieve my zenith and would never allow me settle on my oasis. My hubby is very proud of what I do and continues to encourage me not to settle on my oasis. I have been writing since I was a child. I added social media influencing to what I do now. I am a relationship counsellor, and my counsel is very balanced. I teach women to be more that what they are now, not settle for less in their dating relationships, how to recognise red flags, and generally live for more than just being married” she explains.
“Alero is a book you should buy if you are looking to have an amazing relationship. I mean, you cannot just keep attracting the foolish and irresponsible people to your life. Perhaps, there is something you’re not doing well or doing right. Alero would equip you with the right kind of knowledge to make well informed dating choices.
“This is a book that tells a true-life story of a young Nigerian lady- how to navigate relationships, how to make the best choice, how to position yourself to even meet the right man. I have shared some bits and pieces about me in the book.”
The author told pressmen. In a recent function that she is going to continue writing. “I am going to write a book on how Hubby and I dated for 8 eight years without sex. You will agree with me that we live in a sex-mad culture, we live in a culture that is indulging itself in every conceivable and inconceivable sexual activity. Not only is sexual sin tolerated and seen as a norm, and not just being tolerated and advocated, it is promoted, marketed through every media means possible. Thus, it’s unimaginable to say that there are still sexually chaste people around, those who choose the path of sexual purity and celibacy.”
“Evident to this, was the thick disbelief that accompanied our story on popular blogs and websites when it went viral some few years ago, this is the reason I am going to write my second book – short and straight to the point.”
