#Valentine

Babe, Bukky is going to Makoko for Valentine, will you like to follow her?, my wife queried as she approached my lazy self on the bed. The time was 9.00am. Praise and worship had started at the adjoining Church.

Sunday mornings are my lazy mornings to spread, snooze and roll all over (prefer to attend the 3rd Service). As soon as I got the message, I sauntered out of my semi-slumber.

Bukky is our neighbor who engages in humanitarian activities regularly.

In a jiffy, I was done and ready to join the waiting crew of Madam Bukky, her brother, sister and Mr Yinka, the hired driver. I crashbombed their planned humanitarian visit. Lolol.

Bukky and her siblings had gone to the market the day before and bought gifts for the less privileged. Instead of her regular Makoko, her destination this time was "Destitute's Village", Okobaba.

With Mr Yinka behind the wheels and a bit of direction from locals at Ebutte Meta, we arrived the Village at 10.30am.

It was a sight to behold. There were over 500 persons in the very clustered Square. The residents were aptly arranged according to demography - Elders, Men, Women, Children and Toddlers with their mums. I was wowed.

From the size of the car we brought, they deciphered we were there for the kids. The jostle, the rush, the chase for a vantage position on the queue by kids between 3 and 6 years were very touching. Those who couldn't walk, crawled. Mothers pushed their toddlers forward. Hmmmmm.

I had a flash back to last night when at a waterside joint in Ikoyi last night, a fully lit cruise yacht was in the Valentine frenzy fully packed with extremely wealthy people. Here are these ones less than 20km away living in extreme poor conditions.

I'm inspired to visit these people living under God's purview more. Met a foreign National who said he arrived early to arrange the residents, and was awaiting his friends and a trailer load of gifts for these underprivileged people and I asked where our own people were.

Enjoy the pictures. Happy Valentine!

Viewers discretion next time pls

Naaaaa. Nothing too discreet in these pics. The residents so neat, clean, well dressed and behaved.

I learnt the art of extreme love from the gesture of a neighbor who could have chosen to be in Paris today but chose to show love to the poor. I was also thrilled at the number of people who go out of their way to cater for these people under God's purview.

Lalasticlala Rocktation Farano.... Fya

Am touched, this has melted my heart... When my girlfriend, a staunch legionary told me she would spend today doing something like this, I was Mad, cause I had today planned out for us. But that anger had died down now. This are indeed the people that need the love... They are far from love, far from hope, far from joy. If one day can be spent making them happy, it's worth it, it's divine..


Cheers OP. God bless you.

That's nice of you Mr Realborn.... God bless you in this season of love...
