Extreme Makeover Results

Posted by Adeolu Akinyemi @ September 26th, 2007 | Comments (29)


I’ve been extremely busy in the last 2 weeks, we had 2 training sessions for one of our multinational clients back to back. That was Friday to Saturday and Thursday to Sunday, it was excitingly tiresome as we had to prepare for both sessions, manage both sessions and also share in their fun. I’ve been very sparsely online as well, but I’m back now, and watch this space…lol.

About Extreme Makeovers, I had gotten mails from a few well meaning people, asking wassup. Well, what we decided to do was get an independent journalist - The Managing Editor of Inspire Magazine, Kayode Odeleye to interview the top 3 candidates so we can have a closer look at their lives and see who we would be willing to help. Please read the three interviews, have a look at some of the pictures, and let’s together decide who the first beneficiary of Extreme Makeover Nigeria will be. Their stories are arranged in the order in which they were nominated in the first round.

Pictures for the first two can be found here

Story 2 (Mayor)
Background
Baderinwa Ademuyiwa Olanrewaju was born on Jan 16, 1979 into a family of 14. His mother, the second of three wives was not legally married to his dad. In his words, “I have 5 elder sisters and there was some trouble when I was born because my step mother didn’t want me to live as she did not have any son. My father was in six different cults and he wanted me at all costs. My grandmother took me and took care of me because of the problems.” (more…)
