How time flies...how fate blesses some people...

Above is a pic of Nigeria's 'Oleku' hit maker, Ice Prince, and his label mate, M.I from back in the days when they apparently could not afford 3 square meals a day.

The Chocolate City sign-on posted the inspiring pic online in a bid to inspire his followers.

In the picture, they both look tattered...obviously, they couldn't afford a decent hair-cute. SMH!

Fast-forward to 2012....these guys are the Kings of the Nigerian music industry, jetting off to choice locations across the globe at their will.



Ice Prince supported the pic with some inspirational words to his fans.

"This is to inspire you...Dreams come thru...#BeInspired #Dream" he said.

If you are not inspired by this, I sure am!

I love seeing pictures like this. I gives me the inspiration that any dream nursed in the mind can become a reality...with dedication and hard work!

I'd end this by saying this: dream big guys...as big as the ocean!

May God bless all our hustle. Amen!

no b lie ma broda

Good.
Atleast they remember how they started, unlike
many people who will forget their history in a hurry, abandoning their clothes cos someone who is like they once were was wearing something like it, not minding whether a celebrity gave it out to that person as charity.

OMG!!! Ice-prince was looking almost unrecognisable...

freecocoa: Good.

Nice motivation..
As i dey type so,
i don snap pishure for where people dey troway dirty,
i don snap myself for motuary with broom and shovel,
i don snap with tear tear shirt and short nikka,
i don snap with gala and grpudnut for head,
i don snap where me and people sit down near gutter dey gist...
I dey snap all dis one on purpose,so dat when my time reach,i go motivate people sotey dem go begin name their pikin "HOPE" "DESTINY" "IT SHALL BE WELL" "SHALOM" "SUCCESS" "GOD'S TIME" "MY INVESTMENT" "REMEMBER ME OH LORD" "YOUR TIME WILL COME" "NO BE YOU SUFFER PASS" e..t..c

U be soldier boy,u be soldier boy eiii.make u carry boot snake go bite u,make u carry helmet sun go beat u,make u cary gun, bullet go kill u.(lyrics 4rm M.I's hustlers)these guys hustle,loyalty n respect(john cena) has payed off.dats what survivors do 2 get 2 d top.forza choc boyz!!!

I thought that too.

Dis pple still dey luk back in dia hustling time...soon na my pix una go dey post here...well tnk God 4 dem

Na brymo dey pour fuel ni?

Ehn, make una wait first o. Even though this post is very inspiring, the abaga boys (M.I and Jesse) where not broke o (at least not like this). They went to Baptist High School in Jos which is very expensive in terms of fees and class (has produced Lighthouse Family et al) and is populated mostly by ajebor kids (or above kpako). Their one term school fees pay all my sec fees o. No be lie. So I no believe this pix joor. Can't speak for Ice-prince though.

@ OP, nice inspiration sha. The end justifies the means.

Respect to the street.

halobaba: Na brymo dey pour fuel ni?

or Jesse Jags ba?

this is motivational.
dreams really comes true.
patience is the key.
