DON'T LET THEM!

Dem call the babe Orobo
Dem say na why she no get any Bobo
She lock herself all day inside her room
E be like say the floor never even see broom

Na drag she dey drag herself waka for street
For suya joint she go land to price meat
Wetin dey her body na human flesh no be cow
But the young rappers dey carry her do street show

At 30 she was displayed for win

Her papa no wan loose her as he lost her twin
Dem wake up one morning see her fat body for ground
She been drink some concor to loose 50 pounds

"Marry my daughter and I'll give you cars and houses
"Enugu boys line up like chariots and horses
Even some big boys go hide their pride
Four hours don pass and nobody see the bride

Orobo stand for for bridge wan do like her sister
She no go fit continue to bear this shame any further
Even dem men just wan marry her for her father money
How she go kill the bee come enjoy the honey

She change mind waka enter one cathedral
She see different children wey dey play with anunty Sandra
Aunty Sandra begin share gifts and smile from her iron chair
As Orobo look well the iron chair don turn to wheel chair

As she said "Hi" aunty Sandra come smile and wave her hand
She go near as aunty Sandra give her her card
Written on it was "I can hear you slightly but I can't speak"
Orobo no believe and she no even fit think!

Beautiful and handicapped Sandra making impact
"How did you manage to follow this path"?
"I have a friend who is always there when the world despised me"
"He is a friend who sees me beyond what the world can see"

Orobo knelt down and asked Jesus into her life
From that day helps-ministry became her sole drive
Helping others go through loneliness and stigmatization
She used daddy's wedding prize to open a foundation

Dem dey call her sisi Orobo
Because na for TV dem dey see her with Oyibo
"Don't let people let you down when you should be up"
Now Na Ministers of God line up to hook up!!!

HOW THEY ALMOST WASTED MY LIFE IN LAGOS

By
This thing called life. On this edition of Everyday People I am talking about the story of a young life that would have been carelessly truncated. But God saved his Unique Life. Yes! This Life is Unique! It is Unique because of you. There is no other you. No where in this whole life. Yes Uniqueness. That’s what I am talking about? What makes a life unique is what the individual is. What attracts people or a market to you is that niche that distinguishes you from others. What is your unique selling point (USP)? There must be something you should be known for. I don’t know what it is but you have to think about it and create that uniqueness for yourself. What are you ready to be known for? What did Jesus die for? What did the apostles of old die for? What did Martin Luther die for? What did Ghandi die for? What did Idahosa die for? What is Adeboye living for? What does Oyedepo exist for? What is Kumuyi preaching for? The list is endless. What is Dr. Omalu sacrificing for

FALLEN

By
Our Land was pure. The grass was green. Our Water was clean. The leaves could cure. We drank from the stream With leaves bridged to the rock as cups. As we laved our body under the heavy drops, Our body needed no cream. We were at peace The Palm wine tasted like honey. The village square was our group chat. Words were strong and laughter from the heart. Love was not bought with money. Our Farms yielded with interest. We had enough to eat and ship. Our eyes are closed when we sleep. We worked, worked and had our rest. We were not at war Our Merchants traveled South, West and North. With products of trade for exchange of coins. Women were married not just for groins. Deals were made, no one was fought. Then came the experts with hats and guns. They took our lands and made us Roomers. They deceived our neighbors and made us brothers. Our rights were taken and we became their puns. We were just neighbours They joined No

WHEN WAHALA JAM GBESE! Final Episode!

By
My People for this Community! How una dey? Last week we started a story on Everyday People and we promised to finish the story this week.  In continuation of the story, below are the extracts from episode one: “I am saying WHEN WAHALA JAM GBESE NA PALAVA E GO GET! The problem became so much that even the neighbors became so uncomfortable with the whole arrangement. This trouble is worst anytime the Man and his wife made love in the night. Our aunty R will always pick a quarrel with the wife of the house. The most painful part is that this man will just disappear leaving the two women to dig it out with themselves. If you were in the shoes of this wife what would you do? Will you allow aunty R to squat with your family in the first instance? Will you ask your husband to drive his sister away? Will you fight your sister-in-law out of the house? Will you start a prayer program for aunty R? Will, you just allow everything to pass and hope for #BetterDaysAhead?”
