THE HUMAN BEHIND THE WEEKLY TIMES

I am Sunmola Khadijat Olabisi,widely known as DYNAMIC HAJIA,the author of the weekly times.


HOW I GOT MY PEN NAME
Well,Dynamic Hajia is coined from two separate words;dynamic and hajia.Dynamic,an English word,means changing.

At inception,I thought anyone could be Sunmola Khadijat,so I decided to adopt a unique name and without much ado,'Dynamic Hajia' popped into my brain.First,I felt I wasn't born this way,a lot of things have changed about me ranging from my physical appearance to my Intelligence Quotient(IQ) and lots more,so I believe I am dynamic.As a striving Muslimah(Muslim lady) whose living and death are for Allah,adding the 'Hajia' make the world recognise me as a Muslimah,what a perfect match!I thought.
So,I'm a Muslimah who has changed a lot of things and would still change a lot.

MY PERSONAL LIFE
I am a young lady full of fervour,who was born and bred in the ancient city of Ibadan,Oyo state,Nigeria though I hail from the antique town in Osun state,Ikire.My transformation from a suckling infant to what,by the grace of God,I am today is,essentially,a miracle.
    Had my primary and secondary school education at Aseyege Nursery and Primary School and Global School of Science respectively,both situated in Ibadan and I am at present a student of the renowned,Obafemi Awolowo University,Ile-ife,Osun state.


MY JOURNEY AS A WRITER
While growing,like any other smart kid,my yearning for learning and being famous was at the peak,of course I've always wished to be a dignified human on earth but I never thought it would be through writing because the young naive me had the belief that only Art students could be writers.
Right from nursery class,I've always performed excellently well in languages;English,Yourba and even French Language,that I started writing short stories  and poems and translating English texts to Yoruba and vice versa right from nursery class and most people thought I would end up in the Art department but it occurred to me at a stage(after the completion of my Junior Secondary School education) that I would make a better scientist because I have passion for it and I'm a deep thinker.All thanks to the standard schools I attended,I wrote the UTME and SSCE and came out in flying colours.I didn't gain admission that year though,no thank to the eroded state of beauty education in the country.
     The delay in the admission actually triggered me to write.At this juncture,I would like to inform you that I didn't start writing because of the passion I have for it but because I was bored while staying at home.After my second UTME,before the result was released,I thought I needed to find something doing,then I decided to start publishing articles being that I've written some in the past but didn't publish any coupled with the fact that writing will make me impactful and well-known,wow!what I've always desired.
So,I alerted few persons about the new development and solicited for their help (to share the articles) and to God,most high,be the glory,I've been able to reach out to hundreds of people majorly through social media.SO FAR,I'VE PUBLISHED 41 writeups although just few have been copied to the blog.I am happy,proud of myself and grateful to the ever-supporting readers of my articles,without you,I am nobody.


CHALLENGES I FACED AS A WRITER
Of course,accompanying good things is obstacles and so,it hasn't been so easy for me.The major challenge I encountered is getting audience;there are so many writers out there who are also aiming for greatness,so the need to be exceptional sets in and so far,I have been able to achieve some of my audience goal.
Another and also 'important' confrontation is balancing/equating my academics with writing;it would have been easier if I were an art student because there's  similarity between what I do and Art work but sciences is quite distinct from it.
Also,writers are subjected to critics,just like celebrities,we are usually being watched and judged.People expect us to be perfect and when we goof,they charge us if hypocrisy(preaching what we don't  act by).I'm not moved by this because I believe people will come to understand that we are homo sapiens and have flaws too.

MY GOAL AS A WRITER
To extend beyond Nigeria ,to be the life changer I've always dreamed to be and save the doomed world with my bleeding pen.So help me God.

To you,dynamites,I'm overwhelmed by your support and love which is inexplicable.Haven't met most of you in person,yet you undauntedly stood by me.Thanks for not giving up on me and please,don't stop showering me with your love.


HAPPY ONE YEAR CELEBRATION!!!!!!!!
