In an exclusive interview with BN, she talks about her educational and professional journey and how she came about the nomination.

Lara Ayodeji-Akindiji also takes part in various TV programs! Lara Ayodeji-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

Getting shortlisted for the award, according to the young solicitor, is indeed a rare priviledge. In her words, she is “humbly ecstatic” and “honoured” and gives much credit to her parents and younger brother. Without their “support, encouragement, prayers and belief I wouldn’t have gotten this far in my career. I am eternally greatly to and for them.” As a lawyer, she lives by the words: Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow. Her dedication and passion as a young solicitor are indeed admirable and we celebrate her nomination and achievements. Well done Omolarami Ayodeji!
