Nike Adeyemi
was born on April 11 th 1967 to the family of Professor Gabriel
and Princess Aderonke Ogunmola. She graduated from the University
of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) with a B.sc and M.sc
in Architecture in 1989 and 1991 respectively.
She became a born-again Christian in 1986 and there and then
decided to serve the Lord passionately.
Her walk with God birthed in her the burden for women in need
and despair, especially ladies who have gone through one form
of sexual abuse or the other. It was out of this burden that
the vision for the Real Woman Foundation was born.
The Real Woman Foundation, formerly registered in 2001 was founded
to bring healing to distressed women as a means to building
the nations. The foundation strives to get rid of sexual violence
against women and the scourge of prostitution in our society.
Through this Organization, she hosts impactful periodic seminars
and conferences that basically address all the issues that women
go through in their everyday lives in relationship with themselves,
their family and the society at large. These life-transforming
and nation-building seminars feature different seasoned speakers
who are successful in their various endeavors.
The Real woman foundation equally runs a home ( Rehabilitation
& Orphanage) where distressed and displaced ladies, abandoned
and abused children are offered shelter and a new lease of life
in a bid to help them fulfill their destinies and to become
more useful to the society. Educational and vocational opportunities
and entrepreneurial skills are made available to them. Some
of these ladies are now in school while some are running small-scale
business and have actually acquired laudable visions for a better
future for themselves.
