Adaora Lilani Mbelu-Dania
FAB thing about your name

Country of origin
Nigeria
FAB thing about your country of origin
We have the most resilient people in the world, and the best Jollof.
Profession

FAB thing about your profession
I get to solve people’s problems, make an impact, and simultaneously accomplish my goals while doing what I enjoy.
Three words to describe yourself
Empathic, Dogged, Self-Aware
What makes you FAB?
I’m passionate about people, and I’m not afraid to say Sorry, Thank You, Please, and You’re far too kind. Lol.
What to expect from you on fab.ng?
The journey of a Kaleidoscopic mind – “a type of mind that is agile, flexible, self-aware, and informed by a diversity of experiences.”
What is the craziest and most controversial thing you have written about?
Multi-potentiality. #BecauseTheWorldTellsUsToFocusOnOneThing #AndIDontBelieveOneThingIsForEverybody #SomeOfUsCanDoPlentyAndBeSuccesfulAtAll
What are your FAB dreams for yourself and your country?
My dreams for myself are simple – Live life to the fullest, and positively impact the world while doing so. My dreams for my country are two fold – The first is for more LOVE, and the second is for each one to teach one – pass knowledge around. I believe that Love is the foundation for growth, and without it, no matter how hard we try to improve our situation we’re just applying quick band aids.
What does working on your dreams mean to you?
I don’t work on my dreams. I’m simply a conduit for God’s purpose. He works on my dreams, I just show up as a spirit in an Adaora Bottle.
Think back to five years ago. Did you envision this is where you would be?
Absolutely not. I envisioned that I would be spending my next birthday on my Yacht somewhere remote, where no compass would find me. My next birthday is next month by the way, and I will be sitting in Lagos probably eating rice and meat.
Ever failed before? How did you learn to embrace failure?
I don’t view mistakes as failure. They’re all part of the journey, I learn and move on. Self awareness isn’t just about knowing yourself, it’s also about being honest with yourself and others, embracing failure, and accepting different perspectives.
What’s the most important leadership lesson you’ve learned and how is it valuable?
Lead by Example. Jesus didn’t tell us how he was going to turn water into wine. He just turned the water into wine.
How do you spend most of your time?
I’m a big thinker. I think and think and think, then I get up and Do. My leisure time is mostly family time.
How would you describe your personal style?
My personal style is QDC – Quirky Dapper Comfortable. Lol. I made that up.
Who has influenced you the most?
My Mother. Her influence has been of tremendous importance in my life. She taught me love, patience, and understanding. It has helped in every area of my life.
When is breaking the rules okay?
Breaking the rules is okay when you fully understand the pro’s and cons, and break it regardless. Personally, I’m very disruptive, but I can equally play it safe depending on the situation.
How and where do you find inspiration?
I find inspiration from my love for God, as well as people.
Why do you do what you do?
I do what I do because it’s what I was created to do. Like I said earlier, I am God’s Spirit in an Adaora Bottle.
What’s the best way to keep your eyes on future results?
Keep your eyes on the creator of the future results.
What values are you committed to?
Love, Faith, Fairness, Altruism, Vision, Excellence, and my favorite one —- Continuous Improvement.
What do you do to live a balanced life?
I meditate, and travel as often as I possibly can. One of my goals is actually to get paid to travel alllllll the time.
What are the 5 key books you feel every young person should read and why?
Ego Is The Enemy – Ryan Holiday
The Five People You Meet In Heaven – Mitch Albom
Start Something That Matters – Blake Mycoskie
Talent Is Not Enough – John Maxwell
The Bible & The Quran – #BecauseKnowledgeIsPower
That’s technically 6 books!

FAB.NGNigerian singer Davido has always cultivated a culture of sharing is caring in all aspects of his life.
The Nigerian star Davido shares his heart equally with three women: two baby mamas who gave birth to his daughters and his girlfriend Chioma.
And that is not enough. The musician has always been praised for always helping the people around him despite their status in the community.
Now, the 26-year-old father of two has caused a stir on Twitter after casually saying his watchman owns two houses and three cars.
Yes, as you struggle to at least get free rides on Mr sponsor’s car, Davido is busy elevating his employees.
It all started when a tweep named Obong Roviel shared his excitement over news that the musician was working with upcoming act, Lyta.
Obong praised Davido for always supporting everyone who approaches him either in terms of growing their music brand or elevating their businesses.
A proud and happy Davido then said on top of helping Lyta, he has made sure his watchman has cars and houses.
Scrolling through the comment section, nearly everyone agreed with Obong and echoed his sentiments.
Despite the singer being riddled with controversy in the past, he has managed to show he has a heart of gold.
