Olulu, the King not from Zulu
is a Writer, Poet and Spoken Word Artist. He loves reading, writing, dancing, making people happy and generally having fun. He is passionate about Spoken Word Poetry and his dream is to make it a big industry where poets can earn a very decent living from their performances.

He co-organizes Chill and Relax (a performance poetry event), and is a regular performer at Freedom Hall (V/i and Ikeja). He also performs at other poetry events which includes Taruwa and Anthill.

Graduating from University of Lagos at the age of 21, where she studied Computer Engineering, she was started consulting with PricewaterhouseCoopers at a very young age. Because of her style of writing, which most times borders on the reality of the societal ills around us, she has been tagged so many names, ranging from social writer to social commentator. But she sometimes calls herself The Character Thief.
Transiting from consulting into the literary world, she has made giant strides in a very short period. She is the author of Antonyms of a Mirage, the now popularly trending short stories collection in Nigeria, and is currently working on her second novel.
When not writing, or editing books for other writers, she makes natural hair products for women, which she calls her kitchen business.
