Bright like the sunshine and armed
with a personality like no other, I present to you this months Omoge, Anna Adediran aka Marinika.
Born in Krasnodar, south of Russia to a Russian
mother and a Nigerian Father, do not let that background fool you - she is a
true “Naija” girl, who can speak Yoruba like her father’s Oduduwa :p
With a knack for languages, she also speaks
English, Russian and French.
Raised mostly in Nigeria, she studied
accounting in Ife. While she was still in her first year, she was awarded a
scholarship by the Nigerian Scholarship Board to study abroad. Due to her
heritage and background, she chose Russia as her first choice and went on to
study accounting at The Finance University in Moscow. After her graduation, she
worked at Vozrozdeniye Bank in Moscow and later went on to work at Ecowash Mobile
CIS Ltd.
She was then awarded a postgraduate scholarship
and is currently pursuing a PhD in Social Management at The Peoples’ Friendship
University of Russia, where she currently lectures.
Her passions in life include dancing, baking,
traveling, volunteering, writing short poems and listening to live music. She
also enjoys watching basketball and ice-skating.
Some of her favorite quotes to live by are:
"It is never too late to be what you might have been. NEVER GIVE UP!"
"Life is God's gift to us, and what we do with it is our gift back to God."
Her motivation in life is to learn, love, live
life fully and become the best person she can be both professionally and
personally.
Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors Marinika!
