IKUFORIJI

 (Death Forgave Him)


The story of a man who killed himself,

Because he saw the flames of hell on earth;

In pain and so badly hurt,

He decided to end it there.


The wise will learn,

But fools will die:

Pain ends,

Do well to remember.


No matter how bad in life you have it,

No matter how bad you want to die,

Don't even think to try it,

Never try to take your life.


You were created without your consent,

You were born without your knowledge,

Do you think it was all nonsense?

How dare you leave your Sunset?


He took his life and went to heaven,

But in heaven was sent to hell—

How dare you take your life?

Now, pay the price of your acts!


Thus, he broke down and cried,

O! I don't want to die!

His choice, he regretted,

Alas, Heaven relented..


Now, he was again asked in the afterlife:

Decide again for your life—

Down to hell or your former life?

And he was restored back to life.


For he regretted the choice of his acts,

And Death forgave him of the price..

Do well to remember,

Your choice may not be kind..


The wise will learn,

But fools will die:

Pain ends,

Do well to remember.


For he regretted the choice of his acts,

And Heaven forgave him of his crime:

But for others,

The choice may not be kind..


So, let's see each other and keep trading hugs,

Relating together with nothing but warmth;

So, let's see each other and keep trading hugs,

Relating together with nothing but warmth..

TO KNOW I GOT YOU (WONDER WOMAN)

Omo, you dey make my heart dey beat Thinking of you, my mind dey sweet Like Chike I wan dey run to you Dem say life na suru But for you I be Eran Nuru I still smile when I think of you Revisit talks I had with you I dey bless God because of you Like which material he use make you?

WITH GOD, WE'LL RUN THROUGH A TROOP

Like Humpty Dumpty in a house of cards Your house fell down like the walls of Jericho [And it's hard to pick up the spare parts] Every spring of idea became a dying plant (God forbid!) Something of colour ends up in monochrome  Look before you leap, are words of wisdom But what if faith is leaping before you look? Or is faith leaping before you look? And where then does that place our reasoning? Is it still faith if it breaks like a broom? And what if this leap doesn't pay as due? Should our faith in God make everything (exactly) possible? However, base your plans on something solid Not something that could go up in smoke Do not be too hasty to strike gold Neither delay too long a decisive blow  Be confident in your ability to win the race But don't jump the gun and think it's going to be okay (it's not!) Have faith in God, believe he can do all things But don't back yourself into a corner and put your God to test... Like refusing to serve in a tennis game Then ...

MARY HAD SOME LITTLE WORDS

On this special day, I wanted to take a moment to send you my warmest birthday wishes. You have played such an incredible role in my  life, and I can't express enough how grateful I am to have you as an elder brother figure.
