So It is 13 years already ?


It is 13 years that i wept profusely and people were wondering why i will weep so much for a 'celebrity'

Thanks for those kind words you say carelessly on your shows.

Thanks for those jokes that put smiles on my face during those difficult moments.

Thanks for making it clear then that despite that difficult moments, There is a future.

Now I have made it and wished, I can tell you that you are a prophet.


RIP Olugbenga Abefe Adeboye. (Itu Baba Ita, Laisi Abesu pinle)

One of the greatest talent that ever walked.
