Talking about oneself can sometimes be a lot of work because there's almost always a tendency for one to overhype or under-hype.
But, oh well, if you don't blow your trumpet, who will? But before I go into talking about myself.
Being here means so much to me. To be able to share your craft with like-minded individuals who will appreciate, positively comment, and give constructive criticism is rare to come by in our current age.
A big shout out to 
Oh yeah. Back to me. Sincerely, I am a lot of things... Let's start with my profession, I work with a financial institution, or you can just call me a banker, I currently work with one of the biggest banks in Nigeria, and I dare say Africa. I'd let your mind wander. 😂
I enjoy talking, probably because of my diction and voice, which earned me a lot of praises growing up. It led me to start my podcast, which mainly talks about personal development, mental health, and some general life issues. Oh, the name? It's called THE RAVE: LIVE, LOVE, GROW. Covers face Don't ask me how I came up with the name.
Check out episodes of the podcast here, feel free to leave a review...

Volunteering and lending my voice to organizations that help people and give back to society have always been part of me. This has had me working in different capacities, from writing articles to writing poems to short stories to even making video contents. I'm currently the team lead for the content creation unit in one of these organizations that majors in mental health.
Moving on, I started a YouTube channel a long long time ago where I uploaded videos of myself performing renditions of different songs and ones I composed, but oh well, I got carried away with life activities. I still sing, though, in front of my friends and occasionally in my church choir.
Here's a link to the YouTube channel, you can check it out and let me know what you think... Should I continue or give up?

My first experience with cryptocurrency was back in the university. I was surrounded by people who were older than me, and as a result, I had to listen to them talk about philosophy, life, real estate, and, of course, cryptocurrency (Bitcoin). I heard so many things, from how it can make you a millionaire over night to how it can make you loads of returns over time to how it can make you weep bitterly from losses.
I eventually decided to give it a try many years later, not as a trader, but I just bought and mined some tokens and kept them after doing research about them, of course, like I was taught by my elder brothers (the older people in my life). I am currently open to learning more about cryptocurrency, as I know this is the future of commerce.
Guess what? I just realized I didn't tell you my name. I am Micheal Olaniyi, but I'd rather be called Mandrel Mykels (yeah, I know it sounds cool). I am Yoruba from Osun State in Nigeria, and I speak Hausa fluently as I grew up in Kaduna State.
I am the only son in between two beautiful ladies. Lost my Dad a while back, so my Mum is the only parent I have right now.
I love anime. I can never complete this introduction without stating my unrepentant love for anime. I was gonna say Anime is life but I don't want you to come for me (I still stylishly said it 😂😎)
Oh yeah, I also draw but not professional stuff
With these we've come to the end of my not so brief introduction, Thank you for taking the time to read through. I am here to learn and share my craft with you, who would take out time to read my content and also listen to my video contents (yes, I will start singing again😎).
Until we meet again, tell me what part of the bio stood out to you and also drop a like, as it means the world to me.
