I was invited to prologue the author of the book, Driven By Passion, Ada Okafor at the book launch which was held in the popular Dover Hotel in Lekki Phase I, on August 3, 2013.
Driven By passion is a collection of inspirational words about life. These were from her personal life experiences, which she turned into lessons of motivation to inspire people positively at every point in their lives. She derived the name of this book out of her passion to positively impact on humanity.
The author of Driven By Passion, Ada Okafor, is a rare breed. I say this with all conviction because; not very many of us can summon courage and generosity to publicly share our private and personal life experiences, especially women whom for some reasons are very sensitive.
Ada has strong desire to always challenge herself and work towards self-improvement. She never ceases to be inspired by her faith in God, accepting whatever comes her way in good faith, hoping that better days are coming.
During her National Youth Corp (NYSC), Ada exhibited her philanthropic and humanitarian inclinations by singly developed and delivered an HIV/AIDs ‘Living Passion’ Project for secondary school students, and for the Down syndrome association.
Her passion is to understand the uniqueness of every human being that she encounters in life, relating to them in their own peculiarities and making the best out of them.
Let me not close without mentioning that Ada is currently rounding up her Master's degree programme in Management at the University of Lagos. She earlier bagged a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing from the University of Ghana Business School, Accra, Ghana.
Give me the pleasure to welcome to the stage, this great and inspiring personality, Miss Ada Okafor.
