Biola alabi biography of william hill

From her smiling pictures that abound on the internet, one could mistake her for an ex-beauty queen. The tall, beautiful and brainy Biola Alabi can be remembered by many as the Managing Director of M-Net Africa , but she has since moved on and is now a media entrepreneur-founder and Managing Partner of Biola Alabi Media. While waiting for her to start the conversation, I was quite unsure what to expect from her besides the information contained in feeds online about this successful woman.

Throughout the short conversation, her Western upbringing was reflective in her voice and mannerism as she eloquently provided answers to our questions. Biola was born in the US to Nigerian parents. The eldest among four children, her dad is from Akure in Ondo State, while her mother is from Ilesa, a town in Osun State.

After some time in the US, her parents moved back to Nigeria, where the young Biola spent some years before they eventually returned to the US. She kick-started her career at Bigwords.
