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.

All of creation







From Mammoth Mountain with the most snowfall in the world
To the Amazon with rainfall like unending love
And don’t forget the Iroko tree in Nigeria that towers above
From the countryside to the exquisite cities abroad
Even the beautiful Salto Ángel waterfall knows you are God

Imagining the savage, blistering cold in Vostok
And the Lut Desert with heat temperatures untold
From the shattering wind gusts in Australia so bold
To the devastating humidity that Bangkok unfolds
I will search for your special hold
Regardless of the rugged terrain or treacherous roads

The world is in your hand and your presence is everywhere
I can search the entire universe, to you nothing compares
You took only six days and even had time to rest
The psalmist said it best; all of creation speaks of your greatness …
