Sunkanmi actually came to Lagos in order to seek for an employment, we met and we exchanged pleasantries, you know the spirit/blood running veins of Omo Ilu naah. Smiles… I shouted boda Sunkanm from afar as I ran towards his direction/path, hugged him at the same time trying to prostrated before him and not minding passerby. In his lovely smooth, cool voice with a smiling face on him, he responded in our dialect “Seun, Seun. Okun aburom omoolouwa arokun, ku ise”…. Blabla we discussed for few minutes. Imagine someone who was looking for an employment who might have trekked some miles, surprisingly, he gave me a word of encouragement that has been my watch words till today. In his statement… Sunkanmi said to me “Seun I’m happy I met you in Lagos, please never you run faster than your shadow, don’t be in haste, always seek for Gods directions in all that you do, remember God has a very good plan for you, you’re destined for greatness and never believe your mate has gone far ahead of you and because of that to look for how to cut corners, never. I repeat Never!!! Anyways I trust you, please hold my words tight and firmly as you know I’m still looking/searching for jobs I would have given you something” we both smiles… As we’re about departing from each other I just squeezed something into his side pocket.
