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.

Farewell


_______________________________________________________

I plead thee farewell in your new chapter
May our memories bring you nothing but joy and laughter
Together we all jumped over many obstacles and bites from the viper
I hate to see you go, but God is in control
He is the captain of your faith and the master of your soul
Put Him first and He will quench your thirst
Put him last and you will repeat the class
I will sincerely miss you
May all your dreams come true
Yes sir!
May God lift you up over your oppressors
Keep on reaching out for your aspirations, even if you face the unknown
The sky is your stepping stone; your first step sets the tone
Your future will be brighter; I confirm it in Jesus name
He is the author and finisher of your faith, that’s simple and plain
May our memories bring you nothing but joy and laughter
I plead thee farewell in your new chapter
