AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A KSU PRODIGY- SOPHIA ADEOLA

My name is Sophia Adeola,I am a believer and a poet, from Kogi state. I was born on 5th October in Accompanied by my twin brother Louis Adeola.  I still live in Kaduna with my parents Mr. and Mrs. Hauwa Adeola and 5 siblings. I must say my childhood was not all rosy. Some events attended it that almost rendered my social life nonexistent, even though I was already a taciturn soul with melancholic tendencies.  I attended His Majesty nursery and primary school, but completed my primary learning at ' first Baptist. I had my Secondary education at Louisiana Academy. I'm currently a final year student at kogi state university, studying sociology.

 I took interest in sociology being about interpretative understanding of social actions and causal explanations. Growing up, relating with people was really challenging for me. I was a victim of false prophecy ( long story, plus wish I knew then the things that I know now)that encounter robbed me of my teen years, those were formative years and all that encounter formed were barricades to my self-discovery.

 I gave my life to Christ at age 12 and started writing at 17, didn’t know I had it in me, till I joined publications unit teens church LFC Kaduna. The unit helped ignite and harness my passion, while sold out Assembly gave my passion a platform.

To me Poetry is God’s gift; it’s also a form of therapy, an outlet that lets me share my experiences, the inspirations of the Holy Ghost and my perspectives about life. It (poetry) augments the world within me, really it does...

 I remember when poetry became a calling. I'll never forget my youth pastor( Jenom Jaeh Williams) a life saver, whose impact in my life is one of the reasons why I'm a better version of myself. Thanks for all the grooming, all the drilling, for all the times I would slip right back into depression, it was easy cause that was my comfort zone but you never tired of pulling me out each time with your wise counsels and all, thank you. (I think we need to pay attention to the people God sends our way, to human relations, its one important aspect of life, not just socially)...

When I started writing poetry, I didn't see it achieving the results it’s achieved now. It’s fulfilling to know my poetry has a hold on people in a way that isn't just inspiring but life changing. I have had my share of struggles and insecurities, but I'm really glad I met the Lord at a young age He's been my rock.                       

 I'll close this autobiography with an important turning point of my life. The day i realized that i was my own limitation. If you've ever been or still in a state characterized by a sense of inadequacy leading to depression, I hope you realize that God is your sufficiency. He is more than enough. If you're looking for a clue to the true meaning of life, I hope you know that life is more than meets the eye. And it takes the eyes of the spirit to read into its true meaning. In a nutshell it takes God, it takes Jesus, you should get to know Him if you don't...your life will be fraught with insights it won’t be void of challenges but you'll have the answer, your life will never remain the same.
