She is the author of the award winning, best seller title; The Market Place Creed, a collection of business principles written in satire. The highly talented and creative writer said she just found herself writing, although I grew up in the midst of books with a functional library in the house.
She also authored the ingenious masterpiece title; Vagina Homogeneity, a well crafted polished satire written on Men escapades, Power, Politics, Religion, Intrigues, the consequences and the escape routes, an exquisite work of art that has ruffled many nests.
In an interview with a national daily Ololade was specifically asked on what warranted that work, being a very sensitive issue people shy away from, she has this to say “ after following the stories of the former IMF chief [Dominique Strauss-Khan] and the circumstances surrounding his exit from such a prestigious post I felt really bad and decided to do a book around the circumstances because I felt men are paying so dearly for what is not”.
Here is the latest reaction on the book;
“I rushed to buy vagina homogeneity, I thought it was going to be a frivolous book of some sort because of the title, again I felt I had an idea of what was written inside but honestly I met more than what I bargained for, I was dead worried about my life, at a point my breath almost ceased. V.h is not for fainthearted men or women at all.
I really cann’t say anything further but I believe providence will cause our paths to cross one day and I will be able to ask you some salient questions”. ----- Mr O. www.penofthereadywriterbooks.com
