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.

Myself




Myself


Can I? Should I? Would I?
Whole-heartedly serve God, Do I?
A question I ask myself
I will never tell another lie
Wow, that’s another lie to myself
Self-gratification, High five to myself
All things must become new
So I said bye to myself
They told me about Jesus
Consequently I seek for myself
My testimony is something I cannot keep to myself
Meditating on his Word
It preached to myself
Pleasing God by my faith
I have to believe for myself
Jesus died for our sins to save the world and myself
Can I? Should I? Would I?
Whole-heartedly serve God, Do I?
A question I ask myself
