Number 428 To know me better you have to dive into my write-ups. They reveal my person.

Number 428 To know me better you have to dive into my write-ups. They reveal my person.

I am dynamically complex; I cannot be summed up in one metaphor. I did not calibrate my own composition, the upper hand of God did.

I am the one garbage (akitan) you can find anywhere; the fertiliser of this generation; the river that flows in multiples of direction; the light that has no boundary. My mouth is like a double-edged sword; it gets me into so much trouble. When it is felt I have been suppressed by challenges often bigger than myself, that is when I suddenly explode like a volcano!

Heaven could not contain me so I was catapulted to planet Earth. My journey onto the earth was not at all easy. What I did in my mother’s womb nearly claimed her life. The concealed activities best known to mother typifies who I am. I announced my entrance into this world with my legs first, those Yoruba people call, "Ige Adubi".
The following rhyme about them is best delivered in Yoruba language thus:

“Ige Adubi, Agbolenu bi agogo
Omo onigba irawo
B’iya le ku, ko ku
Bi Baba le lo, ko maa lo
Elegede nbe loko, Gboro nbe laatan
Ohun Ige Adubi yoo je ko ni i won-on
Ige Adubi ko roju iya, Oju Baba Ige Adubi nro
Ige iba roju iya re, ki ba ti k'ese sita
Eni be Ige Adubi nise, ara re lo be
Edumare da won si fun wa”!

It does not stop there; Some call me "Aramada Okunrin" whilst some call me "Kako Oni kumo ekun". Only God knows what mother calls me: I cannot begin to guess.

Long after my exit from this world, my existence will continue to vibrate. I am absolutely too much for myself. Beyond understanding, I need no one to tell me who really I am.

I am truly a mountain of rocks that cannot be moved by any human being but only God, my creator. I am 'unshiftable', 'unkillable' and unpredictable, no wonder I have few admirers.

I like to play with fire. He who dares......

Now that I have given you a picture of who I am, who do you say you are?
