Audit assistant

I am an Accountant and I must say, accounting is a very interesting profession that I have been enjoying in the past 16 years. I am a first class graduate of Accounting and not just that, I am the only one who graduated with a first class in my department that year, oh yes😁

I love figures and that was why I followed my dream of becoming an Accountant. Presently, I work as a full time Finance professional at the African Development Bank. Accounting and Finance is intriguing & I have been following suit passionately. My profession as an Accountant has also been helpful even to me in making personal financial decisions.

I am experienced in Financial planning/ Reporting, Borrowing/derivatives Accounting, Equity, Budgeting & Cashflow, Portfolio management, Treasury instrument analysis and reporting.

However, I discovered that there is more to me than figures & calculations so when I am not doing Accounting I am pursuing my other areas of interest.

I love speaking, teaching, and impacting knowledge. I coach people who need clarity on their personal development journey and individuals who are passionate about building a strong brand online and offline. I am a LinkedIn coach with proven track records. 

Today, Omobabinrin is not just a name in this field — it has become a brand!

Let's work together, I can help you with:

💥 Becoming a Profitable Coach.
💥 Monetizing your Knowledge, skills, experience and expertise.
💥 Building a Personal, Business or Corporate Brand.

I've so many ideas I wanted to spread to the world, so this inspired me to organise TEDxBingerville in Sept. 2020. Bingerville is a city in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire 🇮🇪 where I live with my family.

I have featured on so many print and broadcast media such as The Guardian, BusinessDay, Arise News,  Your Views TVC, The Nation, City People Magazine etc.

I have won so many awards locally and internationally. I was nominated twice by Pulse Nigeria for LinkedIn Influencer Awards (2021 & 2023) I've spoken on various platforms both local and international. 

I'm the Founder of The Iconic Brand Africa and my team and I are building something really interesting.

One more thing, I have a nickname "MINTA" given to me by my fans, wondering what's the meaning? worry not! It means “Mummy In The Abroad”. There is a story behind it but you would get to know it later.

I have gotten a mentor for 2026, he is a Kenyan and he is 23 years old.

3 months ago, I stumbled on a young man on Instagram. He was a guest on a podcast hosted by one of my favorite thought leaders. 

From the very first minute, I was drawn in by his depth, his clarity, and his intelligence. I admired him instantly but I didn’t think too much of it.

Weeks later, I came across one of his videos again. This one hit me hard. I couldn’t help myself, I visited his page. Then his YouTube Channel. One video turned into five. Five turned into hours. I completely forgot my plans for the day. I was stuck!

My son even noticed and said, “My mummy, it seems you really like this guy a lot. You’ve been watching him for hours.”

Right there, I made up my mind he will mentor me for 2026. I just pray he is affordable.

Because that guy...... 🔥 
He will soon become very expensive. So I need to lock down my spot before he blows.

Back to my story
So, in one of his videos, he mentioned his age; 23. I was so shocked because he doesn't look like it neither does he sound like it.

And right there that small familiar voice whispered, “Adeola… what can a 23-year-old teach you?”

I shut it down instantly.

Satan, get thee behind me. He knows a lot.

Because let me be honest: This young man has exactly what I need for the next phase of my life. His content confirms it. His thinking aligns with my prayers. His strategies answer questions I’ve been carrying for years.

So why should age suddenly become a barrier to growth?

Here’s the truth:
✅️ In 2026, you will rob yourself of greatness if you insist on competing with those you should be learning from.

✅️ You will sabotage your growth if you choose envy instead of humility.

✅️You are not older just because you have aged; you are only older if you are wiser.

________________________________________
PS: As my yearly routine, I usually go on a break every January. But this time, I’m extending it into February. I’ll be stepping away from all social media platforms for these two months to do some deep inner work.

There’s a lot to build. A lot to unlearn. A lot to realign. A lot to learn.

So..... enjoy my presence while it lasts. 😀

I am NOT a woman, I am...


I am a disruptor.

I am the interruption to mediocrity.

I am a storm wrapped in strategy.

I am the voice that awakens sleeping potential.

I am the shift people never see coming but can never forget.

I am vision with a pulse, purpose with precision.

✅️ I don’t wait.
✅️ I don’t ask.
✅️ I activate.

On December 9th, I will be training at TIBA Academy for the End-of-Year Masterclass and if you’re serious about stepping into your next level, you need to be in that room.

This isn’t just training.
It’s transformation.
Be ready!

Cheers to the rising of African Women. 🍷 🍾

Two days ago, I shared about a 23-year-old guy I want to have as my mentor in 2026. Well, I finally reached out to him for his rates:

$1,000 for 30 days; $2,000 for 60 days; $3,000 for 90 days

Do I have that money sitting somewhere right now? No.

But will I pay? Absolutely! I am excited about this journey already. 

I’ve requested a quick call next week to clarify a few things and hopefully negotiate a structure that works for my schedule and a flexible payment plan.

The highest I’ve ever paid for mentorship is $500, but right now, I’m levelling up.

📌Listen, in 2026, one of the best gifts you can give yourself is to step out of the freebie zone and start paying for knowledge. 

Free knowledge is great, but there comes a point in your journey where free can no longer take you where you want to go.

📌When you pay, you pay attention.

People who invest in knowledge aren’t necessarily rich; they’re simply people who know what they want and are willing to sacrifice to get it.

At TIBA Academy, we have programmes that can transform your life, business, and career. I highly recommend them. Use the link below to check them out.
