It is striking that the totality of an individual's life could be so devoted to God and every undertaking in His Vineyard.
But for those who are close to her, such compelling relationship with the Heavenly Father as well as His work on earth have been well informed by the bountiful grace of God in her rewarding life and hence the resolve long ago to be a committed servant of God.
This is the apt description of the life of Princess Folashade Olabanji Oba, a proud Christian who reckons that any passion for humanity is an extension of service to the Lord.
And she has been consistent in this belief over the years, making her presence felt in various capacities and endeavours with NGO-Shelter of Grace Foundation, an NGO that enabled to transform lives among her people in Ikorodu.
Still, her life of sacrifice has never denied her pursuing other life interest particularly academics where she has an impressive record and accomplishments as well as running Pacific Capital Limited, a leading real and estate and brokerage firm in Lagos and annex in London.
This is really a fascinating chronicle of a gifted life and she is still far from her destination. A leader said Napoleon, is a dealer in hope. Princess Folashade is hope personified for the downtrodden and less privileged. Interestingly, her determination and intelligence are making a difference in the lives of so many others.
Again, as Aristotle noted, there is no action without desire that causes us to act. An individual's action, therefore, reveal much about what moves her. When looking at the actions of Hon Folashade, it is clear that she is moved by a profound desire to do good for others and that this desire has defined the course of her life.
This is remarkable. A native of Ikorodu, the United States returnee is the first daughter of Alhaja Atinuke Atobajaiye, the Iya Sunna of Nigeria and close associate of late Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji, the Iyaloja General of Nigeria is an America trained Real estate and brokerage expert, Princess Folashade Oba worked with Prime America Insurance for over a decade before her return to Nigeria in 2006 after an aggregate of twenty years stint in the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
For this beautiful and energetic Princess who is also aspiring for a seat to represent her people at the National Assembly in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, as a senator come 2019 is going into politics basically to gather more influence that will enable her harness decisions that will alleviate the problems of her people.
Her decision to share her wealth with the ordinary people led her into politics as she became one of the leading executives in the volunteer arm of the ruling Action Congress of Nigeria (A.C.N) before the party rebranded as APC .
Her close experience with former Governor and national leader of the party Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his wife Senator Oluremi Tinubu gave her a wide know-how of how politics works at the grass root and equally inflamed her passion for grass root politics.
Born into a rich home of a textile merchant mother who is a top Islamic cleric and the present Iya Sunna of Nigeria and a father who was into real estate in his life time, Princess Folashade Oba is a blend of royalty and aristocracy.
Happily married with children to ex-Ben TV, London, Director and social analyst Prince Gbola Oba, Princess Folashade Oba who is one of the leading lights in the agitation for a Korodu born is said to be a die-hard loyalist of her party APC and in few days time, the world will be hearing much from her as her political light is set to shine among her Ikorodu folks.
