About Me

My photo
My life is my life and I will not trade it for anything except Christ, even saying that I still ask for strength on a daily basis to live by it. Life itself is a roller coaster with fluctuating emotions such as pain, agony, victory, defeat, so on and so forth. However, I believe it is the uncertain situations in life that shape us into the individuals we are today and are to become. Basically, what I am trying to say is, your past can shape and influence the future in a major way. My real name in translation means “Born in Wealth.” I was born in Lagos, Nigeria in the year of the Dragon and as far as I can remember, it’s been a bumpy ride. Growing up in Nigeria was intense and a bit tedious, for lack of better words. It is a “No padi for jungle” time zone, with the motto of “Shine your eye,” which pretty much adds up to "every man for himself." It is a place where everyone wants to go to heaven, however, no one wants to die to get there. Growing up as a child, I learned a lot through folktales and such. I remember sitting by the burning firewood at night listening to my grandmother's stories of enlightenment. These stories had morals that shaped my thinking and mentality today.

Wow … that’s Life





Wow … I can’t believe how it turned out
How I was not being treated fair,
 I’m so stressed I feel like pulling out my hair
I was deprived of my full share & yeah … That’s life

I mean, I treat others with Love & respect
What the heck, I can’t stop being upset
Everything is going wrong
I know you are tired of hearing my sad songs
But yeah … that’s life

Would you imagine the nerve of those hypocrites?
I give to the needy & I help my neighbors
I gave but they did not return the favour
I have been mentally & emotional abused but, yeah that’s life

They say life is a box of chocolate, I’ll add with a rattle snake inside
I close my eyes & realize I need to stand up for myself
The pity parties need to stop, so I stand!
However no one is looking or listening
Wow... That’s life

Mama raised no fool, hard knock university I went to school
Studied like crazy but still could not fit in
I bought my friends with Material things but then …
They were gone with the wind & yeah, 
that’s life

But when I thought all hope was lost, coz I was lost!
I met someone who died for me to save me, He paid the cost
Unconditionally loved me, putting me first on His agenda
Through Him, I went from a Sinner to a winner
Wow … that is LIFE
