Personality of the Week: Rosebud Anwuri


Full name: Rosebud Anwuri Onyinyechi (no, I am not Igbo)

Birthday: 27th November

What do you do? Right now I work at PwC (PricewaterCooper)

What was growing up like for you? Mostly lonely. I have four siblings which the youngest is 5 years older than me and the oldest is 14 years older. So in the first place, I never grew up with the first two and I was never really in the same school with any of my siblings. By the time I was 10, they all had left Nigeria so from then till now I've been like an only child. I spent most of my time watching cartoons, teaching myself to swim and reading little fictional books.

Wine, Chocolate and Other Lessons from the Past 100 Days



Final Entry: By Yours truly, David I. Adeleke


The past 100 days of my life have been both painful and rewarding. In the past 100 days, I have lost and I have gained friends. I have lost people to death and a few have been brought into the world. In the past 100 days, I have embraced God and I have pushed Him away, and then embraced Him again and pushed Him away; a cycle that doesn’t seem to end. In the past 100 days I have learned and I have unlearned. But most importantly, in the past 100 days, I have grown a lot as I trust you have too as you have followed this project.

Just Another Little Girl With Big Passions by Rosebud Anwuri #100DaysOfGrowth


All my life I heard: Set goals. Set short term, middle term, half way in between, long term and after-you-die goals. It made me a little bit depressed because while I was a really passionate person (a nice word for very crazy), I never seemed to be able to reach goals I set for myself so let's say I was unmotivated. I kept trying to understand why I was not this highly driven person in life, why I wasn't like every other smart person and at some point I just stopped bothering.

Book Recommendations for This Week - Ugo Eluchie (@UgoTheGogo)

 So I read this book this holiday and I have been indeed blessed. Heather Lindsey is a woman after God's heart. She helps young ladies to a place where they can understand their identity in Christ. Her Ministry is called the Pinky Promise. You can search that up online. This book encourages ladies to pursue God and not worldly desires. Heather knows what we want as women but all these things will pass away. God is forever and eternal. You also learn about how to take good care of yourself as a woman inwardly and outwardly. You should get this book.

-Ugo


I am actually still reading financial freedom and I am blown away. Mr Awoke Ogbo informs us on how we get broke easily as young people in the Nigerian Economy. He helps us understand what budgeting is and how to invest. I recommend this book.


-Ugo




If you are in pursuit of excellence in all you do, then these books are good for you.

Staying Positive; Recovering from the Past

I’d contemplated a million things to write, then I went to church and realized; the best place to start, is from home. I’d originally wanted this to be written anonymously, but realised a sign of growth would be my ability to stand and face my reality.
