Olayiwola Oromidayo is a Nigerian published author, an educator, speaker, singer, a blogger and an entrepreneur. He was born on December 12th 1993 to Nigerian parents. His father, Mr. Adekunle was a native of Oyo state while he mother was from Gbongan Osun state, Nigeria. He hailed from a polygamous family but his mother gave birth to three children.
His mother died when he was about three years old in Kano state where Oromidayo and his younger sister (Abosede Omolola) were born. In order to ensure that the children left behind were properly taken care of, his maternal grandparents requested that he (Oromidayo) and his two siblings be brought down to live with them. Therefore, he and his siblings were raised by his maternal grandparents, uncles and aunts.
Oromidayo had from a very tender age shown to be an exceptional child. Though he started school late due to a lot of sicknesses and illnesses, yet he was always on top of his classes in schools where he attended. His academic excellence was what made his maternal grandmother (Mrs. Foluke Olayiwola) to send him to his uncle, Mr. Olayiwola Gbenga in 2002, after the completion of his primary school education. His uncle was then living in Oshogbo, the state’s capital.
He proceeded to the then Christ African Church Grammar School, Ataoja Estate Oshogbo in 2002. While in secondary school, he was a member of his church’s choir despite his young age and at school, he was the class captain of all the classes he passed through and he was finally made the school’s Head Prefect in 2007- a position reserved for the most brilliant and responsible male student in the school. He furthered his education to a tertiary institution where he obtained his National Certificate in Education in 2013. He is currently studying English language at the National Open University of Nigeria.
In 2015, when he published his first novel after fourteen years he that he had been writing books, he adopted the name Ayomide as his pseudonym. He is the owner of the popular HeavenOasis Blog, a blog that is essentially about lifestyle of the youths and young adults.

12. Passion.
Passion (Prose)
This is a book that chronicles the lives of four young people who were born at different times and different places. But all of them have something in common; they were all Nigerians. The story centers around Michael an orphan who was born in a remote village before his parents died and he had to start living in his uncle’s large family. Because the uncle travelled a lot, Michael was abandoned by his uncle’s three wives and this led to Michael’s decision to go to the next village to find his mother’s family but this later led him to the city (Lagos) where his life was changed forever. The book gave a detailed account of his life from childhood to adulthood.
Another Hero from the book was Oladayo, another homeless boy born in a slummy part of Lagos state by a single mother. He is the narrator of the story and the one who put the pieces of the story together and made the reader know that both he and Michael were cousins despite the fact that they were born worlds apart. He became separated with his mum when one day government officials demolished the shed where they were living and sealed off the whole street. After fruitless efforts at finding her, he gave up and began roaming through the streets of Lagos where he was picked up by a gang of armed robbers where he met Michael. Though the two of them met, yet they were separated and for eighteen years, they didn’t see each other again until fate brought them together. Rose was one of the two heroines in the book. She was born and raised in a very rich and influential family but at a tender age, her parents were abducted by kidnappers and eventually killed tragically. Therefore, she was raised by her octogenarian grandmother, Grandma Kate until the latter died at the ripe age of 86. Rose decided to study criminology to avenge the death of her parents though the kidnappers who killed her parents had died some months later when the detective that the family hired unraveled their hideouts. Sharon was also a daughter of a rich man who was a businessman and a politician, her mother was also a very influential woman whose beauty and elegance was rivaled by none other. She came in contact with Oladayo when the latter was ten years old and separated from his mother. She treated him with contempt because of his low birth throughout the six years that he worked with her family until one day, they were both abducted by kidnappers who were working for her father’s political rival who intended to use her to make him step down from his political ambitions.
