Meet James Ola: About me

Just bought these akara chips and it is really so delicious, just like the name implies, it tastes like akara but it has this crunchy feel and texture that feels like I should not stop eating it.
The akara taste in these akara chips just brought back memories of my childhood, days of eating akara ( “kosai” Hausa) in kano State.
The kosai is served with “yaji” an Hausa spice made from pepper and some other ingredients, I always love to take my akara with “yaji”, it is just so delicious and then accompanied with “koko” the hausa pap… Well, it’s been a long I ate Akara with “yaji”. They don’t sell akara with yaji here in Ilorin.
I just finished the akara chips, would have loved to buy more but the only money left on me right now is my transport fare..

Well I am not here to talk about Akara or “kosai”, want to talk about me. Several times I have had the question “ tell me about your self” but it really is so difficult for me to answer.

I have always skipped the question saying I am “James Ola”
The truth is I have not found the right words to define myself and I somehow don't want to limit myself to a set of tags…

Well, I am basically a thinker, this I do a lot, (not necessarily creative thinking) most times my brain just doesn't let me rest. I always have to think about a lot. I love tech, I am a graphic designer and video editor, basically, I love anything that creatively passes information or that creatively portrays any message. Hence my love for arts and media.

I am a Christian, I was born a Christian but had a personal relationship with Christ that goes beyond just being born a Christian.

I use to myself as different from the people I grew up with or the people I see as normal. There are some things people see as normal that somehow don’t sit well with me. I am a male (obviously) but I don’t do all the things normal guys do, I am not good in any sport, I don’t watch football or any sporting games, I don’t have beards…
