DJ ÌRÀWỌ̀: THE MUSICAL EXPORT FROM NIGERIA

 

Recently, I have been sharing updates about my musical journey and I am not joking about it.

"Dis Ìràwọ̀ too get mouth. Wey her album?"

Abeg, drag me o! You must hear my music!

It has gotten to that time when motherhood has to take a back seat and I move on to what I came to do in this life, which is to share my music with the world.

I am a world-class musician.

I was born to perform music in the presence of the rich and the poor.

I was born to perform music in the presence of the strong and the weak.

I was born to perform music in the presence of Nigerians and non-Nigerians.

As long as you love my music, you are my fan.

I perform MENTAL HEALTH MUSIC which I call DYNAMIC DÙNDÚN.

So, if you have gone through one form of abuse or the other in the form of rape, bullying, divorce, depression, childlessness, lack of self-love and self-esteem, etc., I have something for you in one of my songs.

If you are learning how to love and trust again, I have something for you.

My music is Dynamic because I may not follow conventional music rules. I go with how my spirit leads and not what is trending. However, as a DJ, I follow trends and requests.

As a Musician who studied music on scholarship and graduated with distinction and as the best graduating student, I believe my musical instincts are somewhat accurate.

This is why I love working with music producers who think outside the box.

I am not in music to copy anyone but to create my own path, even though I have been greatly influenced by those who came before me.

So, if you are a Music Promoter, Tour Manager, Festival Organiser, etc. there is money to be made from the DJ Ìràwọ̀ brand.

My DJ Talent kicks off in January 2026 because I need to buy a Mac laptop and I do not have money for that now.

My Drumming Talent kicks off now.

For now, I have my drums, my voice, my hands and my legs to dance.

I need all the support that I can get from all quarters.

Hire me till death do us part.

I shall begin again from the very beginning.

Non-Medical Caregiving Business Course: Start Your Caregiving Business in Nigeria and Abroad Launches

 

THE FASTEST WAY TO MAKE MONEY IS TO SOLVE A PROBLEM IN THE AREA OF YOUR PASSION AND EXPERTISE AND FOR A HUNGRY MARKET.

I am here to teach you how to package your caregiving expertise that you have been offering for free.

My experience as a Divorce Coach reveals that the traditional caregiving methods are fast fading out as:

📍Housewives are now refusing to care for their sick parents-in-law for free.

📍New mothers prefer to hire professional caregivers instead of allowing their mothers-in-law to come and cause chaos in their marriage under the guise of providing Omugwo or Ìtọ́jú Ìkókó.

📍Divorce is on the rise. Single parents need professional Caregivers to help them care for their babies without judgement from family.

📍Single Mothers are now birthing children by themselves via sperm banks and surrogacy. They need your service.

📍The jápa trend has made ageing parents to be left behind in Nigeria with no family to care for them because their children have relocated abroad to provide caregiving for the ageing parents of other nationalities in exchange for foreign currency and a better economy.

The list goes on.

I decided to use my experience as a Business Coach to provide this course for you, with the options of providing these services within or outside Nigeria.

What matters most to me is that you are passionate about providing these services to preserve your mental health, while generating an income for yourself within or outside Nigeria.

We cannot all be Tech Savvies. WE CAN BE CAREGIVING SAVVIES.

With the knowledge in this course, you can begin a lifetime career in caregiving as a freelancer or agency that provides caregiving services in clients' homes or as an entrepreneur who has his or her own care home or daycare facility.

COURSE OUTLINE

📍Introduction

📍Analysis of Caregiving Services

Just as Bad by DJ Ìràwọ̀: Cost of Justice Short Story Shortlist

 

Every year since 2022, I have been either longlisted or shortlisted for at least one writing award.

I do not share it because I am afraid that I will not win it.

I have decided to start sharing my journey to demonstrate appreciation, believing that someday soon, I shall start getting the star prize just as I do for my music prowess.

Even if I don't, to be nominated in the long or short list means that I am doing something meaningful that I must be grateful for.

So, I have repented. 

I wrote this story in under one hour because I had other deadlines to catch up with during this period.

I was fatigued.

I almost did not write it but I did not want to disappoint Prince Adeola Goloba, who believed in me enough to tag me to the application link so that he would not look at me with ungrateful eyes. 

Thank you, Sir.

My hands were shaking when I was writing it because of the pressure to submit before the midnight deadline.

So, I did not even have the time to edit it.

I am grateful for the selection and I hope I win regardless. 

Congratulations to me.
