Notes to Editors
Dayo Olomu / Dayo Olomu International
Dayo Olomu is a study in doggedness and an example of how anyone can overcome adversity to succeed and thus become an inspiration to others.
Born in North London and taken to Nigeria when he was two years old. He got an early jolt in life, when barely eight, his father died. From then life became a struggle. At 10 years old he acquired the thirst to achieve from hawking cold drinks and biscuits on the streets of Lagos to support his mother who sold all her personal belongings to send him to school. In Nigeria he had a varied and interesting career in the entertainment industry from being a Promotions Manager to an Artiste Manager.
To conquer poverty, which was his greatest fear when he was growing up, he relocated to London in January 1996 thinking that London’s roads are littered with gold and silver. When he arrived he was shocked to discover that a crook had stolen his birth certificate and used it to collect his National Insurance card, credit card, and even opened a bank account. He also discovered he was purportedly married except the crook forgot to invite him. Everywhere he went, he was told somebody was bearing his name. At a stage the authorities did not know who the real Dayo Olomu was. With a strong desire to succeed backed with action, self belief and his faith, he overcame these obstacles and that little boy who celebrated his 10th birthday at a bus garage in Lagos whose identity was stolen when he came back to live in London is now a social entrepreneur; business improvement consultant, success strategist, corporate trainer, lifestyle business coach and a motivational speaker, a television personality, an agent of positive change, a life changer and most importantly a husband and a father.
The experience he brings to people over the last 10 years has led him to the discovery that if we help people to see themselves as they can, not as they are; then the way they think, the way they feel and the way they act will eventually be altered, thereby resulting in higher performance.
Listed in the first edition of UK's Who's Who of Black Achievers (published in 1999/2000), Dayo won the Exemplary Nigerian Award for hard work and integrity in 2004 and also bagged the Competent Toastmaster Award from Toastmasters International. In 2006, he bagged both the Advance Toastmaster Bronze and Competent Leader Awards from Toastmasters International. In June 2007, he was named as one of the five most popular Black Speakers in the UK and in 2008 bagged the Advance Communicator Silver Award from Toastmasters International. In 2009, he was bestowed with the Nigeria’s Ambassador of Hope in the Diaspora Award.
In 2007 he completed Flora London Marathon to raise money and create awareness for Leukaemia and on 13 April 2008 he completed Flora London Marathon again to create awareness and raise funds for Hearts of Gold Children’s Hospices, the first children’s hospices and respite care facility in Nigeria.
