“MY FATHER’S FARMLAND...”
©️Opeyemi Ojerinde Akintunde
They were three. Kikiolaoluwa, Idiopemipo and Oluwasomidoba were the
three kids of Baba Jenriayegbe. The Trio were simply called Ola, Ope and
Oba.
The trio were the children of Baba Jenriayegbe, who was a poverty-stricken
fellow. The trio didn’t enjoy any luxury while growing up, coupled with the
fact that their mother had died in their early years.
Fate decided to show how cruel life could be on one side of the world when
the only person who gave them hope died.
Their father died when Ola and Ope were 16 years old, while Oba was 18. Ola
and Ope were twin girls, while Oba was the eldest. Their non-Yoruba
speaking friends preferred to call them using the English interpretation of
their name. Ola was called WEALTH, Ope was called PRAISE, while Oba was
called KING.
The trio’s father didn’t leave a pin for the trio and the few things that they
had in their little room was sold to give him a decent burial in the family
compound.
By the age of 15, the twin girls had finished the New Testament of the Bible
Twice, while Oba the eldest and only boy had read it 4 times by the age of 18.
Therefore, after Baba Jenriayegbe’s death, the trio found solace in God and
in a very short time, Help and Favour had sought them. This was how it
went...

Immediately their father Died and had been buried, Oba ( King) called his
sisters to a family meeting...
“ Wealth and Praise, I know we are still mourning father’s death, but it’s high
time we moved on. Even though we don’t have an earthly father anymore, we
still have our Heavenly Father who can take us places. I see this as a way for
us to throw all our eggs in God’s basket. As it is, we have no one but we have
God. You know the Scripture that says “Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.”. That Arise means we need to Get
up before our shining can take place...We need to Get up and take charge of
our lives... So first things first... We need to go on a three days fasting and
prayer program for God to reveal His mind to us, and to hand over our lives
to God for Him to be our father at this point...
“ 3 days fasting after losing our father?” Ope ( Praise)had said looking very
surprised
“ This is what we must do and I can assure you, it will yield great results”
The twin girls were definitely not buying into Oba’s idea. Fasting and prayer
was not close to what was on their minds, they had just lost their beloved
father and starving themselves for 3 days was going to cause further
depression into their lives.....
“ How does going into spiritual exercise after losing someone make sense?”
Ola ( Wealth) Wondered silently...

Oba ( King) as His name suggests had a way of making people do his bidding.
He cajoled his sisters into the fasting and praying program.
Ola(Wealth) and Ope (Praise) joined Oba in the fast and it was a humbling
time for them. They wept before the Lord and prayed with all their heart.
They were so broke that they didn’t have money to buy food to break their
fast on the third day.
Ola ( Wealth) who was the business-minded one, decided to go look for a
means of making money. As weak as she was, she walked straight to one of
the beautiful houses in their environment. She knocked on the gate and
surprisingly to her, it was the Madam of the house that answered...
“ Yes, Good Afternoon !” Miss Johnson said with a puzzled look for lack of
recognition
“ Ma, my name is Kikiolaoluwa and I live down the street, I am not here to
beg you for money, but I need money for my siblings and I to eat, so please
ma, is it possible for me to wash any dirty clothes you have, to earn a little
cash...” Ola had said pleadingly
“ What about sweeping the compound, I can see your compound needs some
sweeping” Ola said with desperation in her voice as she was simultaneously
stretching her neck in other to have a good look at the compound.

“ Hold on young lady, is this about you getting money to eat, if it is about
that, I can give you some money.”
“ Aww, That is so nice of you ma, but I would love a permanent work,
something that will fetch me regular money. My siblings and I just lost our
father and my brother asked us to wait on God for three days for God’s
guidance, Today is the 3rd day and we don’t have anything to break our fast...
That’s why I took it upon myself to do a menial job to get money...so if you
give me money right now, it might not be enough to sustain us for days..” Ola
said
“ Are you saying, you and your siblings have not eaten for three days, because
you were fasting and now you have nothing to break your fast ?” Miss
Johnson asked
“ Yes!”
Ola pointed towards her house and Miss Johnson told her to take her to their
place. She wanted to know the authenticity of Ola’s claims. As Miss Johnson
walked behind Ola, Ola knew Oba( King) was not going to be happy with the
development. Oba didn’t like asking people for Favours.
Ola had always told him, he was proud, but Oba would say “It is Self-respect,
I know my worth, I may not be where I ought to be, but I must not sell myself
cheap because of where I am today!”
“ ...eat at my place” Miss Johnson was saying but Ola only heard her last
words about eating at her place...
“ Oh!, I was saying that if I can verify your claim, then you and your siblings
will follow me to my place to have a decent meal...”

“ Oh!, thank you, ma’am, that’s really thoughtful of you ma’am. May God
bless the work of your hands and may your children find help wherever they
find themselves...”Ola said beaming with smiles
At that point, they were already in front of the Trio’s room. It was a very small
dark room with the only source of light finding it’s way into the room from a
miniature window. The rooms had no furniture except for a wooden shelf of
books belonging to Oba. They had sold everything sellable, but Oba being an
avid reader could not do away with his wooden shelf that housed his books.
They also had two mats on the floor; the twin girls slept on one while Oba
slept on the other mat. There were sacks neatly placed in a corner. The trio
had neatly arranged their clothes in there...
Oba was lying on the floor reading a motivational book about leadership, but
Ope had a small mp3 music player in her hands with her earpiece tucked in
her ears... Oba sighted the visitor first and on seeing her, he jumped to his
feet wondering what his sister had done...
Miss Johnson looked around and could not believe people could still live in
houses like this, Eben, Her security man who she had sent on an errand
earlier that morning was not even living in a room as terrible as what the trio
was living in..
“ Good Afternoon ma,” Oba and Ope said looking at Ola for answers as to
why they had a visitor in their room...
“ Emmm... Madam lives down the street... I went to her place to see I can get
a menial job in other to fix food for us, but she asked to know my house to be
sure of how genuine I am “ Ola said...
“ Ok .. Ma.., she is very genuine. She is our sister ...”Oba said taking full
responsibility as always

“ Oh!, You are a twin!” Miss Johnson said when she noticed Ola and Ope
were identical.
“ Yes ma”
“ Wow!, I have always prayed to have twin girls, I totally adore twins... It is
well, Your sister has told me about your recent loss and I am very sorry for
your loss, but whatever I am able to do, I will do for you, especially for the
fact that you know the Lord. What challenged me about her, was the fact that
she said you all took it upon yourself to wait upon the Lord after losing your
father..., that is a bold step I must say. For that reason, I won’t hesitate to
show God’s Kindness to you..” Miss Johnson said...
“Was this woman asking if she could help them?” Oba wondered silently...
“ Yes ma!, we will be glad to accept your God-centred kindness towards us...”
Oba said stressing and Emphasizing the “ God-Centered”. His intention was
to let the woman know that though they were poor, they were not willing to
compromise by doing anything that didn’t glorify God...
“ Ok, let’s start with you breaking your fast at my place. I will have my maid
make something for you!” Miss Johnson said with a smile.
Ola was the first to return the smile, followed by Oba, but Ope was the
meticulous one. She was always very careful about trusting people. She was
the deep one among the trio, she spoke few words but had deeper insight
than the other two...
“ Can’t she give us the money and we sort ourselves out?” Ope whispered in
Oba’s right ear...

©️Opeyemi Ojerinde Akintunde
Oba, Ope and Ola went with Miss Johnson to her house and they had the best
meal of their lives. They were served hot custard with Fresh Fish pepper
soup.
“Of a truth, God is a good God,” Ola thought silently. As she continued with
her meal she took the time to look around the house, this was her dream, to
be a wealthy woman, she knew someday she would be as rich as this woman.
She looked around trying to get more details about the woman, there was no
family portrait, it was her picture that filled the whole house. Ola kept
turning around to see if she could see another picture...
“ Looking for something?” Miss Johnson said from where she sat
“ Not really ma, I was just admiring your pictures...” Ola said half of the
truth...
“ Why don’t you have the pictures of the other members of your family here
ma?” Ope blurted out. Ope was a person of few words, but times when she
decided to talk, it was straight to the point...
Oba and Ola looked at Ope strangely, with the expression that said, what she
just said was uncalled for...
“ Oh that!, I am not married, or better still I have never been married, I have
a disorder that can not make me get pregnant, it is called PCOS meaning
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). it is a hormonal disorder, it causes
infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods or excess male hormone
(androgen) levels. The ovaries develop numerous small collections of fluid

The trio could not eat anymore as the words they just heard hit them really
hard...
“ How Ironic life was! This woman had enough money to cater for 10 kids in
this house but unfortunately she has none, meanwhile, their own father had
3 kids and could not feed even 1” Oba wondered silently
“ What’s happening?” Miss Johnson asked.. “Don’t tell me you are feeling
bad, come off it, God has been good to me and I am glad. Not having kids is
not the end of the world. I have channelled my energy to helping motherless
children. They need me and I need them. I pay the school fees of 10 university
students, 25 secondary school students and 54 Nursery and Primary school
students. Isn’t that much more than I can ever ask from God... Besides, God
has decided to add 3 more to my list. He brought you to me..., So eat up and
let’s discuss.” Miss Johnson said and continued with her reading...
Oba was dazed at the level of faith the woman had. He had only read this
level of faith in the Bible.
“This PCOS she was referring to must be like the disease the woman with the
issue of blood in the Bible had... Excessive menstruation or no menstruation
at all...Hmmm, but God can heal her!” Oba thought silently
Ope on the other hand suddenly felt compassion and had tears in her eyes.
After their meal, Miss Johnson sat with them in the living room asking them
about what their individual visions were...

“ I want to work with my hands and make money... I love to do business” Ola
said
“ I love singing, I love arts generally, I love to write, sing, play instruments,
Draw, make movies and all that... My vision is to be on the big screen!” Ope
said with high enthusiasm. Whenever Ope spoke about Art, her face would
always light up...
“ Very good dreams I must say, but you know you need education and
training to achieve this?”
“ Yes ma, and that has been our limitation,” Oba said...
The trio looked at each other surprisingly, amazed at the level of humility the
woman had. They were also shocked at how God was set to help them in such
a short time...
Miss Johnson fulfilled her promise and got them into private universities
after they had written all the necessary examinations. This was two years
after they had met her. Within those two years, they had learnt different
vocations. Miss Johnson insisted they each learn a craft. Oba became an
apprentice at a Mechanic Workshop, Ola started working at Miss Johnson’s
store as the supervisor, while Ope went to a Music school.
After two years of living with Miss Johnson, they each got admitted into the
university to study the course of their choice. Oba went ahead to study
Political Science, While Ola went ahead to study Business Administration
and Ope went for Mass communication.

Trouble however reared up its ugly head when Miss Johnson’s case became
critical and She was diagnosed with Cancer of the Uterine lining.
The trio realized their hopes were about to be dashed, as they had just gotten
into their second year in the university, and Miss Johnson was the only one
they had...

It felt like a red carpet had been pulled from under the trio’s legs. They had
been living a good life, eating good food, dressing well, having someone they
could call “Mother”, But all of a sudden their Angel in human form was under
serious health attack.
Oba took it upon himself to sensitize his sisters on the need to pray. They
started their 3 days fasting and Prayer in school praying for God to heal Miss
Johnson by His Healing power...
The trio took the program very seriously, but on the third day, they heard
bad news. Miss Johnson’s PA had called Oba that Miss Johnson wasn’t
getting any better and needed to be flown outside the country for better
health treatment. The P.A told Oba, Miss Johnson asked to see him.
Oba and his siblings travelled down to see their Angel in human form.
Oh my!, Miss Johnson looked like a shadow of herself, she looked so frail...
Ope couldn’t control her tears as she kept wailing... Ola and Oba were also
tearing up...
“ Why should bad things happen to good people?” Ope kept saying very
loudly amidst tears.
Miss Johnson didn’t have the strength to say much, all she said was...
“ I am travelling to get better treatment and I hope to come back soon by the
Grace of God, but If I don’t, I want you to take care of yourselves... As part of
fulfilling my promise, I have made provision for your one-year school fees.
Hopefully, I will return before the end of the session God willing...” Miss
Johnson said as her P.A handed over a brown envelope to Oba.

The trio knew this was an indirect Goodbye to Miss Johnson, they knew she
was settling them. Looking at Miss Johnson on that bed, the trio knew it
would only take God’s Grace for her to survive that phase...
Ope hung on to her crying..., Ola did same but Oba faced the wall in tears...
“ God, please for the sake of the good this woman has done, please save her
life...”
“ Jesus did a lot of good things, but when it was time for him to leave his
disciples for a while, that they may grow... I took him away...” Oba heard
those words very clearly in his heart. He froze on the spot. He had never
heard God, he had always followed his conscience in doing the right things,
but for the first time, He heard God speak to him...
“ Did God know about this sickness, Was God permitting Miss Johnson’s exit
from their lives?”
Oba Couldn’t Help his tears... He started wailing, even more than his
sisters...Miss Johnson and her P.A also joined in.
He knew this was time for him and his sisters to brace up. God had given
them temporary relief from their pains, but now was the time to grow and
take charge of their lives. Miss Johnson was a “ Stop & Rest Inn” on their
road-trip.
The trio left Miss Johnson after about an hour because other beneficiaries
were waiting at the reception to see her. The Trio understood that Miss
Johnson wanted to settle all her beneficiaries before she embarked on her
trip as she may not return...
From what the trio gathered, Miss Johnson had sold some of her properties
as the treatment of cancer had gulped her finances.

“ No matter how much money one makes in this life, when you are about to
die, you won’t take it along with you..” Ola said out loud as she was the one
who always thought about money as the ultimate thing to have in life...
“ I will always remember that in my quest for money!” Ola said, still the only
one talking as the trio walked towards the park.
Ope was the most shattered amongst the trio. All she could think about was
her vision of the media. How was she going to fulfil her dreams???
“Why is God so unfair to us, Why????” Ope screamed out in the middle of the
road as she broke down crying...
“Where were they going from here? What if Miss Johnson did not survive
this sickness, how were they going to complete their education? She had only
given them school fees for a year, what about the remaining two years...?

The trio returned to school with heavy hearts. Ope kept casting glances at the
bag Oba was carrying on their way back in the rickety interstate bus they had
boarded. She was wondering how much Miss Johnson had given them, but
her mouth felt too heavy to ask any question.
Early the next morning, Oba called the twin girls to meet him at the General
Lecture Theatre.
“ I have counted the money and it’s N500,000, which will pay our school fees
for a year, with 50,000 extra for our upkeep, but my question is after this,
where are we going to get the next...?” Oba asked
The sound of the birds Chirping around the theatre hall became amplified
because, for almost five minutes, the twin girls had no reply for their
brother’s question...
“ God who has started it will complete it...” Ola eventually said
“Hmm... I know that and I have strong faith in God too, but I love to work on
the realities we can see. God has been good to us no doubt but I want us to
think wisely on what to do!”
“ You have something in your mind already, Let’s hear it,” Ope said knowing
her brother’s approach in handling issues.
“ Well, I was thinking that we could speak to the management of the school,
explain to them our predicament and ask for permission to defer our
admissions for two years. In the meantime, we will use the two years to invest
20
INSPIRED BY THE LIVING WORD OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE
this money wisely and make a profit that will see us through school”. Oba
suggested
“ Like stop school and return after two years?... Oba, do you know how old
we will be by them?” Ope blurted out...
“ Yes... Oba we are girls, it is easy for boys to study even when they are 50
years old, but we ladies have a plan for our lives... Although your idea is great
and I would love to buy into it but will coming back to school be easy for us?”
Oba wasn’t sure of the answer too as he kept mute...
“ Let’s do it this way, I will drop out for you both. Give me my own share of
the money. I will go do business with it...” Ola said...
Ola was compassionate of the trio, she was always willing to go out of her way
for the trio...
“ No, it’s either none or all... We either all defer our admission or not...” Oba
said...
Ope had been quiet all the while as dropping out of school was not an option
for her. She was the most ambitious of the trio...She put her hands over her
ears as she wasn’t willing to listen to the other two’s ranting...
Without saying a word to either of them, she collected the money from Oba,
counted out her own part of the fees and returned the rest to Oba.
Oba and Ola knew Ope too well, She had just told them, all the talk about
dropping out of school was not for her.
21
INSPIRED BY THE LIVING WORD OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE
Ope went straight to the Account department and paid her fees without
thinking about how she was going to feed or pay for the rest of her years in
school...
“Should we act like Ope or do what is realistic???” Oba asked Ola who also
didn’t have the right answers...

Ola and Oba decided to drop out of school.
“ You mean, you want to defer for two years?” The Registrar had asked Oba
and Ola.
“ Yes sir, please sir, that’s the only way out.” Oba had said
“ Why don’t you hang on, a miracle may happen when you get to your third
year. Destiny has a way of sorting itself out, whatever will be will be...” said
the unbelieving Registrar. The Registrar was an atheist, so hearing him talk
about having faith was quite surprising for the two.
“ You are right sir, but we would love to do our own bit of helping ourselves
while we rely on God to do the part we can not do by ourselves...” Oba said
“ Very well then, we will defer your admission.!” He said as the mention of
God was upsetting for him
The approval was given to both Oba and Ola to defer their admissions.
However, the student body got to hear about the development and there was
a sudden crusade amongst students...
“ Not Ola, No ... Not Ola, Ola cannot drop out of school!”
Ola was the friendly one amongst the trio, she was well known among the
student body. Everywhere she went, she was always Favoured...
23
INSPIRED BY THE LIVING WORD OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE
money to help their friend whose benefactor was ill and couldn’t sponsor her
education anymore... The love the student body poured towards Ola was
overwhelming. Oba and Ope did not receive such love except a few of their
concerned friends...
The students were able to gather another N500,000 for Ola which was to
cover her fees for the three years she had left to spend.
Ola had called a meeting of the entire student body and said these words...
“ The love that has been shown to me so far has been beyond my wildest
dream. I never thought God Could raise this kind of help for me through your
hands. I am sincerely grateful and you all will forever be in my prayers ...
Thank you...
I am sure you all know, that we are three siblings in this school. My twin
sister and my brother. Our benefactor gave us N500,000 and of which my
sister has paid N150,000 as her fee. We are left with N350,000. By privilege
and God’s goodness, you all have been able to raise N500,000 to settle my
own education, but that leaves my brother and sister halfway. Ope needs
N300,000 to complete hers, While If Oba uses the N350,000 with him for
his own fee, he will need N100,000 to settle up as well...
Which means my siblings need additional N400,000 to complete their
education. These figures I have listed don’t have our feeding and allowance
fee in it. We will still need money for assignments, textbooks and other
miscellaneous.
With all these in mind, I came up with an idea which I would love you all to
embrace...
I am the industrious one amongst my siblings, I always get whatever I want,
it therefore, makes sense for me to sacrifice my education for few years in
other to double this money you all have given me, so I don’t become a burden
to you in future..”
24

Ope was tearing up. Oba had his mouth wide open in shock. His sister had
not discussed this with anyone, not even him. She had just told him that she
wanted to appreciate the student body...
Ope was tearing up because she saw who she was not. Her sister had a heart
of Gold. She was ready to sacrifice her education for her and Oba.
Everywhere was quiet as it felt like people were trying to soak in the
information, but from somewhere in the middle of the Hall, a young man
stood up on his feet and started clapping for Ola... Others joined in and from
different corners, the students stood up till the whole body of students were
on their feet applauding Ola for her bravery and selflessness...
Ola heaved a sigh of relief, she was happy the students didn’t see her as an
Ingrate. She knew her plan was going to work... In two years, she knew she
would have doubled the money in her hands and even made more...
She received a lot of hugs afterwards but one was special. The first boy who
had stood up to clap for her had given her a big and long hug...
“ I wished we had more selfless people like you in the world, the world would
be a better place... I respect you!.” He had whispered to her when he gave her
a hug...

“You can’t do this...” Oba kept repeating this phrase as he sat with his sisters
in the theatre hall after the students had dispersed.
Ope was silent because she knew she couldn’t say anything meaningful at
that point. All she did was to continually look at her twin. She was bewildered
at Ola’s selflessness...
“ Ope and Oba, someday what I am doing right now will make a lot of sense
to you...Let’s get going... I have a lot of packing to do..”
“ Where will you be staying?” Ope managed to ask as it was obvious Miss
Johnson may have sold her place.
“ Good question!” Ola said managing to give a smile... “Hmm... I have been
thinking about that and the only good idea that popped to my head is for me
to get a small apartment beside the school, so I won’t be far away.”
Ola didn’t want Ope doing this if only she knew the internal battle she was
facing... She didn’t want to break down and cry. She knew God was with
them, but everything they were going through was overwhelming. Ola’s eye
became teary but she didn’t want to betray the confidence she was trying to
instil in her siblings as regards her decision, so she took a deep breath and
made sure the tears did not drop. However, Oba saw the tears in her eyes and
that made him walk away...
Oba went far away to the chapel, he was torn between a lot of choices.
27
INSPIRED BY THE LIVING WORD OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE
“ God, tell me what to do? ... My heart wants to stay in school and finish my
education, so I can get a good job to take care of my siblings, but my
reasoning is saying otherwise...” Oba said as he wept on his knees...
Ope on the other hand as she was walking Ola to her hostel said...
“ I promise not to disappoint you, I will come out in flying colours. Thanks
for the sacrifice.”
No one knew what Oba must have heard from God, but on seeing Ola later
that evening, he said...
“ Ola, thank you for your bravery and I totally agree with your decision.”
The next day, Ola left the school premises very early in search of a mini
apartment close to the school premises. After checking out different one-
room apartments, she later settled for the cheapest, which was about
N75,000 per year. It was in the “ghetto” part of the environment.
Ola settled in her apartment within a few days with great hopes of finding a
good business to venture in. She made different enquiries about the nature
of the business that was lucrative in the vicinity and she got about 5 different
businesses she could venture in.
Ola decided to take the 5 businesses to the Lord in prayer as she did not want
to invest the N270,000 left with her wrongly. This was the training their
father had imputed into them. Fasting and prayer was a regular thing with
the trio as sometimes when they had no food to eat, her father would tell
them to turn that day into a fasting day...He thought them the importance of
seeking God’s face through fasting and prayer.
Therefore, Ola engaged in 3 days fasting and prayer program and on the third
day after observing her vigil, she heard a strange knock at her entrance...
28

Ola became scared. Who was knocking at her door at 3 am in the morning...
“ We know you are a good girl, so we are not here to harm you, we just need
the money with you...” Sukki said.
Sukki was a street urchin in the vicinity, His birth name was Sunkanmi, but
he changed it to Sukki, to make it more trendy and “street fancy”. He was
popularly known for robbing people, but could not be arrested as his father
was the powerful herbalist in the environment. He usually got away with his
crimes.
“ The money?, who told them I had money with me... ?“ Ola looked under her
school box, where she had kept the money. It was still in the brown envelope
Miss Johnson had given them. Ola had collected the N350,000 from Oba and
had given him the N500, 000 instead, to pay ahead for him and Ope’s fees.
“ Schoolgirl, open this door... it was one of your school people that told us
you have money, and we have been monitoring your movements, so we know
you have it with you...”
“Sukki, why are you speaking English to this girl... break this door down
now!” Torture, one of the armed robbers said
“ Jesus!, Jesus!” Ola kept shouting as she couldn’t move from the point she
was hiding in the room...She had recoiled herself into a corner in the room...

The door came collapsing right in front of Ola. The sound that followed was
loud and Ola hoped someone in the neighbourhood would have at least heard
and would come to her rescue. She couldn’t believe the door was down and
she was face to face with the robbers.
Ola stayed glued to the spot...and she wished Rapture could just take place
at that moment ...
“ Where the money dey?” Torture screamed at Ola...( Where is the money?)
“ Torture!!! calm down, you no suppose talk to school girl like dat nao...” (You
are not meant to talk to a learned girl like that!) Sukki said as he walked
confidently towards Ola.
Ola felt like a little child about to devoured by a big buffalo...Sukki bent down
and spoke quietly to Ola.
“ Hey, beautiful school girl, Where is the money?” Sukki said as he softly
caressed Ola’s rosy cheeks
“Hmmm...” Sukki said as he sniffed Ola’s body... “You smell like strawberry
ice cream, my best flavour”.
Ola’s best flavour was strawberry, therefore her body cream, body spray was
always strawberry flavoured. Ope had always told her jokingly that someday,
someone might eat her up thinking she was a piece of cake or ice cream...
Ola wished she had not taken her bath that night before sleeping as Sukki
was sniffing her entire body...

Ola knew it was time to talk or else it was going to be her virginity that she
would be robbed off any moment.
“ The money is under my box”, She said as she pointed towards her box...
The boys rushed towards the box, except Sukki who was looking at Ola with
so much amusement in his eyes...
“ That’s the money!” Ola said to Sukki in a bid to shift his attention from her...
“ Oh my God!, Why did you ever create Strawberry, it’s about to land me in
trouble!” Ola thought as she knew she had used her strawberry flavoured
toothpaste before sleeping.
“Sukki, Sukki, Make we commot, we don carry the money...( Let’s get out of
here, we have the money)” Torture said
“ I can’t leave just like that, I need to take strawberry,” Sukki said as he had
forcefully landed his lips on Ola’s lips...
“Please, Please... don’t please... please I am a virgin please,” Ola said as hot
tears came rolling down her cheeks...Fear had taken over her mind.
Sukki was taken aback, but the spirit that drove him was having a better and
stronger hold on him than his reasoning...
“ Sukki leave this babe, Make we waka!” ( Sukki, Let the Lady be, Let’s get
going!) Torture said as he dragged Sukki from Ola...
32
INSPIRED BY THE LIVING WORD OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE
A fight ensued...
“ Sukki, leave the babe, she just talk say she never know man before, no rob
her body, the money don do” ( Sukki, Let the girl be, She just told you, she is
a virgin, Don’t rob her of her pride, the money we have taken is okay)
“ Torture, get out of here ...” Sukki said as he brought out a charm from his
pocket with the intention of hitting Torture with it...
Torture stepped back in fear as he knew what the Charm could do to him. It
was a paralyzing charm. Sukki had gotten it from his father, whenever they
were going to do their evil works, Sukki took it along. Once it hits the target,
the target becomes weak like jelly. It usually takes 24 hours to wear off...
Ola didn’t know what it was, but she cared less. All she knew was Sukki or
whatever his name was, was not going to have his way with her...
Torture stepped out of the room with regrets in his eyes. He wished he could
take the paralyzing charm from Sukki and hit his head with it 20 hot times,
but he knew Sukki could have him killed afterwards...
*************
Meanwhile, Ope was having a terrible nightmare in her room back at the
hostel. She woke up very restless. She knew the feeling. Something was not
well with Ola wherever she was. She picked her phone and dialled Ola’s
number...
************
Ola’s phone rang. Sukki grabbed it and turned it off...
“ Please .. Don’t rape me...” Ola begged
33
INSPIRED BY THE LIVING WORD OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE
“ If I were you, I wouldn’t do that, because this thing in my hand will turn
you to a dumb girl if I hit it on you...” Sukki said, but Ola wasn’t listening...
.
She raised her voice and Sukki in defence hit her with the paralyzing charm...
Ola became like a lifeless body. She fell to the ground like a pack of
cards...Her brain was still functioning but she couldn’t raise her hands or any
part of her body, and most importantly she couldn’t find her voice...
*********
At that same moment, Ope felt like something hit her. She suddenly felt
feverish, she walked to the fan control and turned off the fan... Her roommate
woke up...
“ Oh!, sorry about that, you should visit the health centre in the morning...”
“ No, I should visit Ola at her apartment, I feel something is wrong with her!”
Ope said as she knew the feeling she was having
“ You can’t understand, there is this bond between twins, that one feels the
emotion of the other even when they are miles apart and right now what I
34
INSPIRED BY THE LIVING WORD OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE
feel is fear,” Ope said as she could not explain in plain English what she was
experiencing
“ Ok.., then why don’t you give her a call?” Tise suggested
“ I have but after it rang for a while, it stopped and when I tried calling back,
it was switched off,” Ope said as she paced around
“ That’s not a good sign...”Tise said sitting up
“ Yes!... Not a good sign, I don’t know what to do...” Ope said obviously very
confused...
“ Pray!, Let’s Pray...That’s the only thing to do when you don’t know what to
do...” Tise said
“ I have no strength to pray right now... Honestly, I feel like my strength has
been sapped out of me..” Ope said as she sat on the ground
**************
That was exactly how Ola was feeling in her apartment as she laid on the bare
cold floor looking at Sukki who was pulling off his trousers... She watched in
tears...She couldn’t move one bit and couldn’t defend herself...
She was about to be raped and robbed of her pride she had guarded jealousy
for years...
“ God where are you?” Ola cried out from her heart as her voice had been
stolen from her...

“ MY FATHER’S FARMLAND”
©️Opeyemi Ojerinde Akintunde
Sukki declared war after he left Ola because something went wrong! What?
After Axe and Torture had left the room, Sukki had forced his way into Ola.
On satisfying himself, he stood up and said...
Sukki ran out expecting to meet Torture and Axe outside but they were
nowhere in sight...
The money!
Sukki knew Torture could not be trusted with money! Sukki ran as fast as his
legs could carry him towards Torture’s house.
As soon as Sukki was out of sight, Torture and Axe came out of where they
were hiding.
“ Torture you sure say this thing wey we wan do no go backfire?” ( Torture
Are you sure what we are about to do won’t backfire?)
36
INSPIRED BY THE LIVING WORD OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE
Torture had convinced Axe when Sukki was indoors with Ola that, they
should betray Sukki. He had convinced Axe that it was bad of them to rob the
innocent girl of her money and her pride. He said he didn’t want to
experience God’s wrath. They had agreed that once Sukki left, they would
return the money to the girl and lie to Sukki that policemen had accosted
them while they were waiting for him outside and since they wanted to cover
his evil deed, they gave the money to the officers...
As Torture and Axe got back into the room, they saw Ola lying helplessly on
the floor with her two legs spread wide apart. Her eyes were pouring out tears
on its own...
“ Schoolgirl, sorry for wetin Sukki do you...Take, Keep your moni, Sukki no
know say we come here, so if morning reach wash yourself, run go keep the
moni, for bank..” ( Schoolgirl, We are sorry for what Sukki has done to you,
Have your money. Sukki doesn’t know we came back here, so once it’s early
in the morning, Hurry and keep it safe in the bank)..Torture said pointing
the money towards Ola who was looking at him helplessly.
Torture expected her to stretch forth her hand to receive the money, but he
noticed Ola didn’t move...
“ Schoolgirl, Schoolgirl “ he moved closer to her to be sure she was still alive.
Recognition of what was happening to Ola dawned on him. Sukki had hit her
with the paralyzing charm...
“ F**k Sukki..., God punish Sukki” Torture dropped the money and lifted Ola
from the ground...
37
INSPIRED BY THE LIVING WORD OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE
“ Torture... Wetin You Dey do?” ( Torture what are you doing?) Axe asked
“ You Dey blind? You no see say Sukki don weak this girl? ( Are you blind?,
Can’t you see Sukki has made this girl weak?) Torture said as he placed Ola
on her bed.
“Enter her kitchen, look for water and salt” ( Get into her kitchen, bring water
and salt) Torture said loudly at Axe.
Axe dashed into Ola’s mini kitchen and scattered the whole place looking for
Salt. He saw a small container with the label “ Sugar”.
“ You be mumu... You know read say Na shuga...” ( You are a fool, can’t you
read the inscription “ Sugar”).
Axe ran back bringing the second container with “ Salt” inscription on it.
“ Mix salt for the water,” Torture said as he looked for a nearby cloth...
Sukki had told Torture in time past, that his father had told him Salt was a
neutralizing ingredient. Sukki had told him, if anyone ever hit him with a
charm, he should get water mixed with salt and make some incantations in
other to regain his strength.
38
INSPIRED BY THE LIVING WORD OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE
In his lack of Spiritual knowledge, he picked the Bible and placed it on Ola’s
chest and as he dabbed Ola with the cloth he had soaked in the saltwater, he
kept shouting...
“ Jesus!, Jesus !”
***********
Ope had laid back on the bed crying, she couldn’t tell why she was crying but
she felt she was about to lose something precious to her...
“ Ope, I really don’t understand why you are crying!” Tise said in frustration
“ You know what, I am not going to join you in this pity party, “ Tise said as
she also started shouting
“ Jesus!, Jesus!”
************
Micheal had woken up from a frightening dream. He was the boy who had
hugged Ola after her speech at the Theater hall.
He had seen the girl, Ola, who had sacrificed her education for her siblings
in his dream...
39
INSPIRED BY THE LIVING WORD OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE
He saw her walking away from the school, he saw her siblings trying to reach
out for her, but they couldn’t get hold of her hand. He saw her twin sister
crying and he also was crying, blaming himself for not helping her...
Micheal woke up frightened, and he suddenly felt he should have helped the
Lady.
“ But, I was the one who anonymously contributed N100,000 out of the
N500,000 that the student body gave her!” Micheal tried trying to convince
himself of helping Ola already
“ Won’t you at least pray for her? that’s another way of helping!” Micheal’s
conscience pricked him again...
Micheal sat up and also started calling out the name of Jesus!
“ Jesus!”
*************
Oba had a terrible night as he had over 10 dreams of seeing different
graveyards... He woke up trying to do his devotion when he checked his
phone and saw Ope’s 20 missed calls. He had put his phone on silent.
Ola knew her strength was coming back to her. The more the robber was
calling ‘Jesus’. the more strength she was gaining...Strength entered her
hands. She moved it..
40

“ She don move her hand!” ( She has moved her hands) Axe said
Axe nodded...
“Schoolgirl, if you don Dey Get strength, tell me!” ( Schoolgirl once you start
gaining strength, tell me!) Torture said...
**********
“Torture, Axe...Torture Axe!” Sukki’s voice rang loud from a far
distance...followed by sporadic gunshots...
“ Where una dey, bring my moni or else blood go paint street” ( Where are
you, bring my money or else there will be bloodshed.)
Axe and torture froze in fear...
“ Torture, I tell you, make we carry this moni go give him...”( Torture I told
you, Let’s give him the money) Axe said in fear
“ No... No...” Torture took the money and hid it in Ola’s kitchen. He grabbed
Axe hand’s and dashed out of Ola’s room...
Ola wanted to tell him “thank you”, but her voice was gone...
Though Sukki had raped her of her pride, she still had reasons to be grateful,
she was still alive...
41
INSPIRED BY THE LIVING WORD OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE
“ God, please don’t let Sukki kill Torture and Axe...” the compassionate Ola
prayed silently in her heart as still in her pain she was thinking of the
wellbeing of another person...,
The battle became bloody... No one could come out of their houses. Sukki
had asked for the money and Torture had lied the police officers had taken it
from him.
Sukki was ready to let all hell loose... His father did not help matters too. His
father told him he would back him up to fight the police...
Sukki kept shooting with the hope the police will show up...
Torture knew what was best for him and Axe. They hideously fled Town...
Ope and Oba tried to get out of school by morning to see Ola, but because of
Sukki’s display of gunshots, the school management had ordered the security
not to let any student out of the gate...
Ola was all alone in her room......and all she could do was ask God for Mercy.
She wanted to make heaven if death came calling.... and she kept asking God
a very important question...
“ God, I fasted and prayed for three days and the only prayer I prayed was
that your purpose be established in my life...Is going through Rape part of
your purpose for my life?”.....

“MY FATHER’S FARMLAND”
©️Opeyemi Ojerinde Akintunde
Sukki suddenly realized he had been outsmarted by Torture and Axe when
one of the other boys told him he had seen them boarding a bus...
“ Axe, Torture blood go flow...” Sukki said as he beat his chest. His intention
was to visit their parents’ house and spill some blood. As he made a turn
towards Torture’s house, he began to hear sporadic gunshots, which had
more effect than his ‘toy gun’...
Sukki knew soldiers were more brutal than police officers. Instinct told him
this was the time to bow and run from the stage...He rushed into his father’s
power chamber.
“ Father, the soldiers are coming... It was Torture and Axe that took the
money...I need to get out of here fast...” Sukki said to his father in his mother
tongue...
“ You are right... You need to get out of here right now!” His father replied
Sukki’s father gave him a charm that could make him disappear and in few
seconds, he was out of there...
Ola laid on the bed thinking about her virginity, thinking about how she had
dreamt of her future husband being the first to ever make love to her... Her
father had shown She and Ope their mother’s pant that had her virginity
blood on it...He had told them proudly he was the first and only man their
mother ever slept with before she died and that was why he couldn’t bring
himself to marrying someone else after their mother’s demise.

Ola felt more pain as she thought of how unfortunately she had lost her own
virginity not on her volition, but by rape. She felt guilty for a belief she had
once had about girls who were raped.
She used to be of the opinion that any girl that was raped, asked for it based
on her interaction with the opposite sex or probably her way of dressing, but
now she knew better. She concluded in her pain that Anyone who had ever
been raped whether by chance or by facilitating it was a VICTIM.
Tears flowed down her face as she tried to gain enough strength to pull
herself together. She knew she needed a bath, because knowing who Ope
was, Ope was going to be at her place any moment.
“Sukki ending my call abruptly must have raised suspicion in Ope, and I don’t
want Ope and Oba seeing me this way! I can’t afford to have them unhappy,
it will affect their academics, “Ola get up!” Ola encouraged herself
However, Ola’s Body was not responding to her motivational talk, also her
emotions were betraying her...
“ God! Why?” Ola finally screamed out in her heart as she had tried so hard
not to blame God or say anything against God since Sukki left
“ I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do:
Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead” Baba
Jenriayegbe had told his children during one of his Bible study time with
them...
“ These words were spoken by Paul the Apostle and it has been my life
motto... Oba, Ope, Ola never give up on your dreams until you achieve it.
Some flops might come along the way, some unplanned casualties may come
to scare you or discourage you from your dreams, you must go past it and
leave that experience in the past...

“Where is the Bible verse, Father?” Oba the bookworm had asked
“ Philippians 3: 13-14”
Ola remembered that day so clearly as she laid on the bed... At that moment,
She knew she had not gotten the answer to why God allowed the rape but she
had gotten what she needed to do...She stretched her hand to pick up her
Bible and opened to that portion of the Bible...She was using the New Living
translation, her version read.
“ No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one
thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead”
Her tears flowed as she understood what God was trying to tell her...
“ Ola, you haven’t achieved your vision of becoming wealthy to help lives,
therefore forget what has just happened, it is your past, though a recent past,
but you need to press forward.”
With those words dropping into her heart, Ola put in all her strength and
rose from the bed. Her tears had no break, it flowed ceaselessly.

Her legs were wobbly, so she laid on the floor and dragged herself to her
toilet.
Her strawberry soap suddenly looked like evil, so she took her detergent and
took her bath with that instead, sitting on the floor...
Towards Evening, Oba and Ope were able to get out of the school. Micheal
had visited Ope at her hostel earlier during the chaos. and handed over
N150,000 to her. He told Ope, she should give it to Ola as a gift to invest in
whatever business she wanted to go into. Ope was elated but also afraid as
she had not heard from Ola.
Ola’s Landlady who was an elderly woman had paid her a visit, apologizing
for not coming to her rescue when she was being robbed...
“ My heart and prayers were with you, but I couldn’t do anything as I was
scared that ruthless boy could shoot me.” She had said apologetically.
Ope and Oba got to Ola’s place, and on reaching her, Ola had composed
herself but there was a problem...

Sukki found himself in front of a church, the disappearing charm landed him
in front of a church. As he raised his head, the first thing he saw was a
banner...
He looked around in fear to be sure no one had seen him appear there
suddenly, but what met his eyes was another banner at the entrance of the
church...
“ JESUS IS THE ONLY SAFE WAY, ANY OTHER WAY LEADS TO DEATH”
**********
Ope and Oba were happy when they saw Ola seated on her bed...
“ Thank God, You are fine...” Ope said with a sigh of relief the moment she
saw Ola...
“ Ope, you can see she is fine...” Oba said and all Ola could do was respond
with a smile...
“ Any food in this house?” Oba said going into the kitchen. Ope sat beside
Ola, but she suddenly felt something was amiss when Ola didn’t say
anything...
47
INSPIRED BY THE LIVING WORD OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE
Ola wanted to say “ Nothing” but no sound came out of her mouth. Ope
jumped back and beckoned on Oba...
“ What?”
“ Ola say something...” Ope said frantically but as Ola tried harder, no sound
came out of her mouth.
Tears flowed out of her eyes as she knew she would have to do the
explanation she didn’t intend to do...
“I knew something had gone wrong with Ola, I knew it... Ola, What
happened?”
Ola gave then a sign to please give her a pen and paper, so she wrote with the
little strength she could gather...
“ I was attacked by armed robbers last night, I was hit with charm and
raped...”
Ope collapsed...
Now, the attention shifted and Ope was the one who needed help... Ola and
Oba tried splashing water on her face, but she wasn’t responding.
Ola took the paper and wrote “Hospital”. Oba nodded and they both dashed
out of the room, with Oba carrying Ope. As they stepped out, Ola
remembered the money and Oba remembered the money Micheal had given
48
INSPIRED BY THE LIVING WORD OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE
Ola through Ope. It was in Ope’s handbag. They both dashed back into the
room and picked the different pack of money...
It was around 7 pm and Ope wasn’t awake, although she was breathing as
she laid on the hospital bed...Oba had been looking at Ola hideously as he
was silently blaming himself for his Sister’s defilement, but like Ola knew
what was going on in his mind, she took Oba’s phone from him and typed ...
“ I know what’s going on in your mind, you think it would have been better if
you were the one who was in that room and I was in the hostel... No, don’t
think that way, because if it had been you, the armed robbers may have killed
you.”
Oba read the message and could not help but shed tears. If Ola was not ever
going to talk, he wasn’t going to talk either...He typed on his phone
“ You are right... but what are we going to do about your voice?” Oba handed
the phone back to Ola and interestingly Ola smiled as the texting thing
seemed like fun...
“ We can speak to the doctor about it and besides I enjoy this texting thing...
Let me enjoy it while it lasts..,”. Ola handed the phone back to Oba who could
not help but smile at the last part of the text.
“Ola! What a beautiful and strong soul, she is as strong as our father” Oba
reasoned quietly... Oba took his sister by the hand and walked to the doctor’s
office. Oba explained the situation to the doctor, who told them she might
need to see a speech therapist.
The doctor also advised Ola should take time to rest because of the rape. He
gave Ola a pill that would protect her from unwanted pregnancy.
Ola complained of soreness in her private part.
The doctor told her it was normal and that she should try to get some ice
packs to relieve her of the soreness...
Meanwhile, Sukki was seated at the corner of the church. They were having
Evening service. Although Sukki Felt out of place, it felt like something was
49
INSPIRED BY THE LIVING WORD OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE
pinning him down...He was looking for where to stay. He entered the church
with the intention to lie that he was disowned by his father who is a herbalist
because he just gave his life to a Christ, but the words of the pastor were
piercing him more.
“ It doesn’t matter where you are coming from, it doesn’t matter what you
have done, God is opening His arms wide to Recieve you... it has to be today.
A time is coming where you won’t have your father or your mother and the
only person who will be able to save you is Jesus... Now is the time to give
your life over to Christ.” The pastor was saying
Sukki knew it was time to give His life to Christ. He just knew this was it for
him. He had been escaping this, but he knew if he missed this, he could be
dead soon...
Ola had written the whole incident down and explained in details all that
happened...
Ola gave a stern look and Oba knew that whenever Ola gave that look, it was
final.

Ola returned back to her house and on Oba’s insistence, she bought a strong
iron door to replace the wooden door.
Oba and Ope made sure they visited every other day to ensure she was fine,
but Ola didn’t like the arrangement as she knew it would affect their
academics...
She visited a speech therapist and the bill she was given scared her. She felt
if she paid that huge amount of money, she won’t have enough money for her
business...
Her being temporarily dumb was not going to kill her dreams. She had to
push forward.
Ola wrote to the Landlady About relocating... and would appreciate if she
could have a refund of her rent. Ola explained she had been having
nightmares as a result of what happened to her in that room. The landlady
was very receptive and in fact, told Ola she would help her get a better
apartment ...
The landlady made some calls and surprisingly one of her friends who was a
dealer of Eggs wanted to rent a room out. The landlady took Ola there to see
if she would like it...
Fortunately for Ola, the house was behind the University where Ope and Oba
were. The house also had good security. Ola nodded in excitement and she
was all smiles...
The landlady paid her friend and Ola went back with her to pack her
things...The plan was for her to move in the next day, but Ola had a strange
dream on her last night in that room...

“ Take it, it is for your baby OluwaSunmibare” the lady had said
“Hmmm... A baby? Am I pregnant?... the pills...I used the pills the doctor
gave me for five days..., but hold on what’s the date?” Ola thought silently as
she looked for her phone...
“ God please don’t let me be pregnant, I am still dealing with the hurt of being

Ola stood up and with firm determination, she told herself she wasn’t going
to go for a pregnancy test... She believed strongly she would see her period
soon...
“But what if I am really pregnant?” Ola reasoned quietly as she was packing
her clothes. The landlady had volunteered to help her pack her belongings to
the new house with her car
“ If I am pregnant, it will be too much for Oba and Ope to handle,” Ola
thought silently...
The pastor of the church Sukki had found himself had taken his case
seriously. He had made room for Sukki in the church store and he made it
compulsory despite his busy schedule to have daily Bible study with him.
The same night Ola had the dream about Someone giving her a female baby
cloth, Sukki also had found something intriguing and haunting to him from
the Bible when he was flipping through the Bible...
“Deuteronomy 22:28-29
“If a man finds a girl who is a virgin, who is not engaged, and seizes her and
lies with her and they are discovered, then the man who lay with her shall
give to the girl’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall become his wife
because he has violated her; he cannot divorce her all his days.”
His heart broke as he remembered the strawberry girl... In all his moments
of mischief, he had never raped a girl, the strawberry girl was his first, and
she was a virgin, unlike all the loose girls he had been sleeping with...
Sukki realized this verse showed that God was not happy with him for raping
the strawberry girl and the only way he thought he might be able to correct
his error was to marry this girl..., but Would she want to marry a man like
him...?

“I was a former rogue who had raped her, I had dropped out of university
because of cultism related issues...I am the son of a herbalist...” Sukki
thought as he sat on the soft mattress in the storeroom that had been
provided for him...
*************
Ola sat at the medical centre shaking, she saw the look on the nurse’s face
when she handed over the result to her. Ola knew that look... the look of
condemnation...
As Ola opened the result her fear was confirmed. She was in deep soup. She
was pregnant...
Ola couldn’t help but cry out at the hospital, she burst into loud tears that
attracted people’s attention. She, however, received sly comments that
showed people had judged her wrongly...
“Look at her, you should have known this would be the result after enjoying
what is meant for adults,” said an elderly woman
“ She is just shedding fake tears before you say, Jack Robinson, she will go
for an abortion “A man also said
Ola wished she could scream out loud to defend herself... She rushed towards
one of the nurses and grabbed her pen and wrote boldly
The atmosphere changed, there was silence everywhere, as those who had
condemned her felt ashamed...

“ God, who can question your ways...” A lady who had been silent all the while
burst out in tears as she knelt before God...
“ I dare not question you, you made a young dumb girl get pregnant after
rape, but I have been praying to you for 7 years for a child, and all I hear in
my Spirit is WAIT... I dare not question your ways but show me mercy too”
The woman kept crying and the nurses went close to console her...
The atmosphere was filled with “Hmmm...” from different quarters... and
Ola’s compassionate self suddenly felt pity for the woman.
If only she could swap wombs with this woman. If only the baby in her womb
could be transferred to the woman... Or should she bear the child and give
her/ him to the woman..?
Ola reasoned quietly as she kept tearing up and asking God why He was
allowing all these to happen to her...
“ Skilled and Trusted Soldiers stay at the front of the squad at the Battlefront”
“ What did that mean?” Ola reasoned silently to herself as the woman came
close to give her a comforting hug...

“ Can you come with me to my house?” Banke said as she kept wiping her
tears. Ola had written out a summary of all that happened to her and her
siblings...
Banke could not believe something like that could happen to a human being
and that person could still have her faith strong in God. This thing about her
not talking was terrible, she wanted to take her to her husband who was a
pastor. She believed with prayers, the poor girl could recover her voice...
However, she was a bit sceptical about the validity of her story. There were a
lot of fraudulent people in the country with different stories.
She closed her eyes and asked the Lord in her heart...

“ Ok, let me take you to my siblings, but please don’t tell them about the
pregnancy. It will break their hearts..” Ola wrote.
Mrs. Banke drove down to the university and she was able to verify Ola’s
claims. Mrs. Banke told them she wanted to help Ola as she was led to do so.
Oba and Ope agreed to the new move feeling comfortable with the
arrangement as Ola won’t be alone in a house.
“ Honey, I have seen an orphan who we can help and also serve as the help
we need. I have met her family ... I will give you more details when I get
home.”
“ So what happens to the business plan you have?” Oba asked Ola
“ Right now, I need to heal from the rape, so this is not the time to start a
business. That is why I am accepting her offer to be a maid” Ola wrote before
she realized she had written too much
“ What I mean is, she is looking for a maid, so while she is still on the search,
I can always help around, since she has offered me a place..” Ola wrote

“ I pray God be with you...All these will be over soon, by the time we are
through with school, we will pay you back for this huge sacrifice. We love you
sis” Oba said...
Oba, Ope, and Ola went with Mrs. Banke to her house. Mrs. Banke was living
in one of the posh estates in the environment. Her house was more beautiful
than Miss Johnson’s House. It was obvious they were Christians as the house
had a lot of wall hangings proclaiming God’s names and scriptures.
Mrs. Banke’s Husband was surprised when he saw three youths. After saying
hi to the trio, he told his wife to see him privately.
After 25 minutes, Mrs. Banke came out and took Ola to her room...
“ I feel the peace of God in this house and more importantly you will be safe
from further sexual abuse,” Oba said...
Oba, Ope, and Ola ate a delicious meal prepared by Mrs. Banke. After 2 hours
Oba and Ope went back to school, while Mrs. Banke got familiar with Ola.
She promised to take Ola back to her apartment the next day to pick up her
belongings and money.
Towards Evening, Mrs. Banke informed Ola they would be going for evening
Revival service. It was then Ola realized Mrs. Banke’s Husband was a pastor.
They travelled for about 50 minutes before getting to his church. The service
was beautiful. Mrs. Banke’s Husband was the pastor in charge.
When it was time for the prayer session, Pastor Ayo ( Mrs. Banke’s Husband)
climbed the podium and said...
“ Light shines and darkness can not comprehend it, We have someone in our
midst, a new sister in our midst who was hit by a charm recently and that
took her voice away..., As I sat down during the Word, it was impressed on
my heart to ask the congregation to intercede on her behalf and I believe our
Father will restore her voice”

Ola was shocked at the love and hoped silently God was going to answer...
Ola was called out to be prayed for, but Ola was shocked to see someone in
the front row that looked like Sukki...
No! It couldn’t be Sukki, but she looked closely and saw that he was the
one...Ola walked close to be sure he was the one... And Yes he was the one...
Sukki felt the ground should swallow him up... Strawberry was standing right
in front of him...
“ Had she become dumb because of what had happened?” Sukki reasoned
silently as he bent his head in shame...
Ola looked at Mrs. Banke and her Husband as she felt she was in the middle
of a plan... The only thing that came to her mind was to run..run as fast as
her legs could take her...
Ola ran out of the church and stopped a bike. Since she was dumb, she
couldn’t say a word... She just pointed ahead and the bike man said...
Ola nodded in the affirmative. She jumped on the bike and hit the bike man
to leave...
Mrs. Banke and Pastor Ayo had rushed out to catch up with Ola but she was
long gone...Sukki fell to the floor crying...

Ola found her way back to her apartment with the money she intended to use
as her offering in the church...
She felt afraid, her mind kept telling her, Sukki was following her.
She wrote to the Landlady to take her to her friend’s place immediately. She
also begged the Landlady not to disclose her new apartment to anyone
including her siblings...
The Landlady obliged her and immediately took Ola to her friend’s place.
When Ola got to the new room, all she did was cry. She didn’t understand
why she was this unfortunate.
“ Was it possible Sukki had suddenly become a Christian? No... Never, God
Could never forgive him?” Ola cried
Ola was just crying, she wished she could pour out her mind but she couldn’t
speak. If only she had not seen Sukki, maybe she would have recovered her
voice that night.
“ Mrs. Banke has explained all that happened, it’s best you ran... Where are
you now? I am at your place and your former Landlady said she doesn’t know
your whereabouts. We should go make a report at the police station so they
can make an arrest...” Ope had texted
“I am not interested in arresting him, I just want to be far from him. About
where I am staying, I am closer to you than you know, but right now I just
want to be alone...I will be fine. Give me time alone to be with God. You can
still check up on me via chats and video calls...I love you and Oba.” Ola had
texted back.
Ope knew Ola too well not to try to argue with her. She knew Ola’s tone of
finality even through text.
“ Ok, fine... I understand how you feel, I will always text and chat you up
every day... You will overcome.” Ope texted though she did in tears. This
Sukki guy was going to pay for what he had done...
Mrs. Banke was heartbroken when Sukki had explained to them he was the
one who raped Ola and hit her with charm.
“ We may need him to leave the church...” Banke had said with sentimentality
in her voice
“ No, we can’t lose him, he is a new babe in Christ..!” Pastor Ayo said to his
wife
“ Then do we lose the poor orphan who is the victim here..”Mrs. Banke had
retorted
“ We can accommodate both of them in the church, Our God is the God of
Peter and the God of Paul, Ola is of the Peter generation, the ones who have
always known Christ, while Sukki is of the Paul generation, those who despite

Mrs. Banke had been calling Ola’s number, Which Ola had given her on their
way to church earlier that evening but she had refused to pick up. She and
her husband had traced her to her house but met her absence. She had called
her sister, Ope to inform her of the situation.
“ I can’t afford to lose this lady..” she muttered silently as her husband was
not getting her point.
She felt they could send Sukki to another branch where he could be mentored
by another pastor, while they accommodate Ola...

“ We should be mindful of our actions because when we become born again
or claim to be born again as a way of escaping the consequences of our past
actions, we should know that some of our victims who we have hurt in time
past still nurse their pains...This is just a gentle reminder...” Mrs. Banke was
saying at the Wednesday mid-week service during her short exaltation.
Sukki knew the message was directed at him. The pastor’s wife was no longer
warming up to him like before. She literally would give a malicious look that
told Sukki, he was not wanted in the church.
Pastor Ayo was not happy with the way his wife was handling the matter, but
there was little to nothing he could do about it.
This was a week after the incident of Ola seeing Sukki in the church, his wife
had not been the same. She was highly irritable over little things in the house.
She kept insinuating Sukki’s repentance was not genuine.
“ I better leave this church so I don’t cause marital problems between the
pastor and his wife.” Sukki thought as he saw the exchange of looks between
the pastor and his wife.
When Pastor Ayo stepped on the podium, his first Bible verse of the day
was...
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit... Romans 8:1. I totally agree
with my wife that we should be careful of our actions like the case of Brother
Sunkanmi as most times in our ignorance we hurt a lot of people, but the
good news for people like Brother Sunkanmi who have found their way to
Calvary... is that, there is no more condemnation for them, because they are
now in Christ Jesus.. Old things have passed away....”
“ And all things have become new” the members chorused, but Mrs. Banke
stood up instead and walked to the pastor’s office.
63

“We sometimes can’t determine our background but we can determine our
future. Brother Sunkanmi is a son of a herbalist, he was raised up in that
way, so he never knew a better life than that, should we blame him for his
parental upbringing???
He is just a victim like you... You, on the other hand, had the privilege of
being raised by Godly parents, which is a red carpet placed on the ground
for you. Bro Sunkanmi has decided to join the Christian Folk, I know he has
hurt you, but we do worse things to God, and He forgives us over and
again... Please, Sister Ola. We want you back in the church as we believe
God has great plans for you...Think about it” Pastor Ayo ( Mrs Banke’s
Husband)
Ola did not like the fact that Sukki had repented but she knew God was happy
on the contrary. She remembered the verse of the scripture where the
Shepherd went in search of one lost sheep and left the 99 others.
“ One soul really means a lot to God, and Sukki could be this one soul that
God went all out for and I, Ola am one of the 99 that are already saved...” Ola
had concluded.
She had searched her heart to see if she could return to Mrs. Banke but she
felt she couldn’t.
“ Good Day Ma, I am sorry for not replying your text all the while, I needed
to do a lot of soul searching. Ma’am, I know you have good plans for me,
and possibly in the future, I may return to you, but I don’t think I can deal
with the psychological trauma of seeing my rapist in church every Sunday
experiencing God’s Joy when my hurt isn’t completely healed... Please tell
your husband, I have forgiven Sukki wholeheartedly since God has forgiven
him, but I need time away from him... Please nurture him into full maturity
in Christ Jesus, so he doesn’t go back to his vomit. God bless you, ma’am”

Mrs. Banke had received the message while nursing her hurt in her
husband’s office. She read the message in a rush and replied...
“ I don’t see the baby as his baby, I see the Baby as a different being, so I
intend keeping the baby”
“ Ok... God be with you, Don’t hesitate to ask for my help anytime you need
it and have me in your prayers as well”
She looked around for him in the service, but he was nowhere in sight. She
went to the store where he had been sleeping, the room was empty. His few
clothes they had purchased for him was nowhere in sight, likewise every
other thing that church members had given him had disappeared, instead,
there was a small note...
“ I had to leave so as not to cause problems between the pastor and his wife.
I will always cherish the gift of the few weeks I spent with you. I believe I
am spiritually mature enough to walk on my own now. Thanks for the
care...” Brother Sunkanmi

Ola decided to step out for some fresh air. Her new Landlady was a
distributor of eggs. As she got outside, she realized the Landlady was short
of staff as she had quite a number of buyers queuing up to buy eggs from her.
Some were impatient and had started leaving the queue, while some were
showing signs of exiting the queue at any moment. Ola took her time to
quickly study the landlady’s way of attending to the buyers...
“ What is your order?” and the buyer will say his/her order and her sales girl
will bring the order, then the landlady will act as the cashier at the same time.
Ola noticed the Landlady was tired as she kept shifting her weight from one
leg to the other. She was on the big side.
Ola saw some empty cartons at a corner, she picked two of it and returned to
her room and wrote very boldly “ GOOR DAY, WHAT IS YOUR ORDER?”.
As she was about stepping out, the Spirit of God ministered to her that some
of them may not be able to read English, so Ola wrote in Pidgin, in Yoruba,
in Igbo, and in Hausa. She had used a translating App online to translate into
those languages...
Ola stepped out and walked towards the Landlady, she had written a small
note as well.
“Ma’am you look tired, Let me help you stand to take orders, while you sit to
collect your money. I have made placards to ask them what they want”
Ola showed her the placards, and the Landlady was happy. She gave Ola an
appreciative smile. She hugged her and limped towards a chair.
The landlady spoke loudly...

“ Please customers, my legs are no more as strong as they use to be, please

hear you perfectly. Her name is Kikiolaoluwa.
Ola did a great job as she had a great smile plastered on her face. In no time,
there was no more queuing up as the selling became fast.
Sukki had been walking around aimlessly that day after he left Pastor Ayo
and his wife. He was contemplating going back home, but he did not want to
lose the new life he had in Christ. As he stood at a T-junction not knowing
which way to go, he saw a group of young Christians walking from the left
direction towards him. They were carrying different banners, which read...
“ Great!, then you should join us to evangelize, we all are meant to go into the
world and evangelize” Grace pulls Sukki along before he had the opportunity
to refuse.
Sukki liked the opportunity to evangelize, and since he had nothing doing
and nowhere to go, he followed the troop. He looked at the members of this
church, they were quite different from Pastor Ayo’s church. They were not
modestly dressed, they dressed like the average unbelievers.

“ Why?”
“ Personal issues...”
“Like?”
“ Welcome home!”Grace
“ Home?”
Sukki felt relieved but he saw something that made him raise his eyebrow.
As they were evangelizing, Sukki saw one of the evangelists, stopping by a
cigar shop. He bought a cigarette which he lit immediately.
“ I know what you are thinking about, but don’t sweat it, because that’s why
our church is different, Grace covers it all...”
Mrs. Banke refused showing the note to her husband but kept praying
throughout the day. She asked God to restore this soul to her...

“ So if God gives you children, and one offends the other, is this how you will

Mrs. Banke cried her eyes out throughout the drive home, her husband had
not checked for Sukki after service.
He didn’t know he had disappeared, he thought his wife was still sulking and
that was why she was crying, so he didn’t bother asking why she was crying...

Eight months had passed and Ola was drawing close to her Expected Day Of
Delivery. She had successfully hidden the pregnancy from her siblings. For
those eight months, she did not give them the address of her new place. She
tried to do video calls with them occasionally where all she did was smile
back.
Ope had complimented her on several occasions that she was becoming fat
and fresh.
Sukki, on the other hand, had been indoctrinated into the new lifestyle of the
Church he joined after leaving Pastor Ayo. He had been taught that “All his
sins in the past, the present one he was committing and the ones he was going
to commit in the future had been taken care of”. Sukki, therefore, was able to
continue in the sin of fornication once in a while.
However, the church made dissecting the Word very important. In 8 months,
Sukki had read the New Testament 2 times. He was told the Old Testament
wasn’t important.
The Senior Pastor of the Church particularly liked Sukki and in no time, he
had made Sukki the youth leader. He had given Sukki a three-bedroom flat
and a car. The Senior pastor encouraged Sukki to go back to school, and with
his connections, Sukki gained admission to do a part-time course in one of
the State Universities. Sukki was so happy he had found a place where he
could serve God and his sin; past and present was not a big deal.
Sukki travelled back to his father’s place but met bad news. His father had
been hospitalized for about two weeks...

Ola had been having serious contractions for days. She had been in and out
of labour for two days. At that point, she had sent a message to her siblings
as she noticed she was losing strength. Oba and Ope were shocked to see Ola
pregnant. Ope kept proclaiming curses on Sukki. She wished she knew his
identity.
Ola gave birth after 26 hours of painful labour. She gave birth to a beautiful
baby girl, but suddenly she started bleeding uncontrollably...She passed out.
Meanwhile, Sukki was in the same hospital visiting his father. His father was
happy to see him after 8 months...
“ Father, I am sorry for my absence. I met Jesus and I was scared you would
disown me ...”
“ Hmmm... Jesus... Destiny can not be averted!” Sukki’s father had said
He spent a short time with his father and paid the necessary bills.
As he stepped out and saw Ope. He froze on the spot, he thought Ope was
Ola. He didn’t realize Ola was a twin. He was surprised she didn’t recognize
him, but he thought it was possible she was rushing out to get something...
She looked worried...

Sukki stepped back to the reception to find out what her problem was.
“Her twin sister was bleeding after giving birth and she just passed out. The
bleeding has stopped but she is yet to gain consciousness.” A nurse said
“ Can I see her please, I am a Christian... I would love to pray for her.”
The nurse initially refused but on second thought, she took him there. Sukki
saw Ola lying unconsciously with oxygen plugged into her nose. Sukki sat
beside her and knew this was strawberry.
“ How come she gave birth? Was she pregnant after my intercourse with
her?” Sukki reasoned silently
Sukki knelt beside her praying for her. He prayed with tears flowing from his
eyes. He begged God to please restore the life of the innocent girl...
After about 15 minutes of groaning in prayers, Ope and Oba came in. They
didn’t know who the stranger was, but they joined him in the prayer.
Oba and Ope expressed their appreciation. Sukki asked for Oba’s phone
number as a way of checking up on Strawberry later. They both exchanged
numbers.
Sukki stepped out and when he got into the car, he wept sore.
“ If only his parents had trained him up in the way of the Lord if only someone
had taught him about God, maybe His life would have turned out better...”

25 years had passed and all the past sorrows had been forgotten...
Ola was married to Micheal from her University and Sunmibare was having
her graduation ceremony that beautiful morning. Ola stood in front of her
bedroom mirror with tears flowing as she flashed her mind back to how
wonderful the journey had been...
25 years earlier...
After Sukki had prayed for Ola on the hospital bed, not only did she regain
consciousness, but she recovered her voice.
Ola on waking up started talking, she was elated. Ope and Oba’s joy knew no
bounds as they started proclaiming blessings on the strange pastor who had
prayed for Ola. They had forgotten Sunkanmi’s name so they casually told
Ola, it was a random pastor.
Ola decided to keep Sunmibare. She only called Mrs. Banke to inform her she
had given birth...
“ Are you the one speaking to me?” Mrs. Banke had asked
“ Yes ma, After I gave birth to Sunmibare, I fell into a coma. I was told a
pastor had come to pray for me. So, On waking up, my voice was restored.”
“ Halleluya! I am happy to hear from you, so, the baby...?” Mrs. Banke had
asked
“ That’s why I called, I have decided to keep her and raise her up... I am sorry
ma...”
75

Mrs. Banke had dropped the call. She had wept sore. She had nursed high
hopes that Ola would give her the child after delivery. That was why she had
maintained a close relationship with her for the 8 months before her delivery.
Though they didn’t see face to face, they communicated through chats.
Ola had taken Sunmibare and her siblings to her apartment for the first time.
In the course of the eight months, Ola had worked faithfully with her
Landlady, which made her landlady to place her on a monthly salary. It was
her landlady who had taken her to the clinic and when the labor was
becoming painful, she had encouraged Ola to inform her siblings about the
situation of things...
The landlady on Ola’s return had taken over the responsibility of helping her
with Sunmibare.
For two years, Ola had served the landlady, before the landlady relocated to
Ghana to go stay with one of her children who was established there. Before
the Landlady left, she had called Ola to her room...
“ Kikiolaoluwa, you came into my life and made a lonely old woman like me
lively once again. Thank you so much, but Aderonke, my daughter in Ghana
wants me to come over to her place. She said she doesn’t like the idea of me
stressing myself in my old age. She wants me to come over so she can take
good care of me, especially my legs...”
“ Ha! Maami “ Ola had said in disappointment. Her new Landlady had
become a mother to her...
“ Yes, Kikiolaoluwa, but I have something I want to give you... You have
served me well, so I want you to take over the Egg business. Right now, the
business worths N1.2 million naira. I know you don’t have up to that, but if
you can gather up to N500, 000. I will sell it to you....”

Ola only had N324,000 with her as she was the one who was helping her
siblings through school. At that point, Oba and Ope were writing their final
exams. Through Ola’s work with the Landlady, She had helped Oba and Ope
complete their fees. She was the one who took care of their feeding and other
fees. She also had to take care of Sunmibare. She, therefore, had only
N324,000.
After Ola had given birth to Sunmibare, the news reached the school as some
students had seen Ola in the market strapping Sunmibare to her back.
Different rumours kept flying in the school, some speculated she was
married, others said she was into prostitution.
Micheal had approached Ope for the truth about what happened, he believed
a selfless girl like Ola could not go into prostitution. Rather than tell Micheal
the truth, Ope gave Micheal Ola’s number.
Micheal had contacted Ola and Ola knowing how he had helped in the past
invited him over to the Landlady’s Egg shop. Ola narrated all she had been
through and afterward, a genuine friendship started.
When the Landlady demanded N500,000, she knew it was only Micheal she
could call on. Micheal had helped her pay up the balance.
That was the beginning of Ola’s Sucess story, despite all she had been
through...
Ope on the Otherhand, had pursued her music career with strong
determination. Ola became her sponsor. Ola who had become very wealthy
through her business pumped in money into Ope’s music career. After 10
years, Ope had become a household name. However, she was into
mainstream music, which Ola was not particularly happy with... She showed

Ope had changed her name to “ Sexy Sasha”. She was always topping the

and hard work.
Oba, on the other hand, had also turned out successful, he had gone into
politics and after 20 years of active politics, he became one of the youngest
Senators in the country, not forgetting he was a local government chairman
for 8 years, and the Governor of their state for 4 years, before recently
becoming a senator.
“ You are beautiful my love, you don’t have to spend all the time in front of
the mirror...” Micheal had said
Ola smiled and said, “ I am not checking out my beauty, I am just checking
out that small helpless girl who God has helped to this point!”
“ Well, thank God, but you will need to keep checking her out because she
hasn’t become the best she was made to be... I still see great things coming
out from her. Right now, she ranks 7th richest woman in Nigeria, she still
needs to hit THE RICHEST WOMAN IN AFRICA...”
Tears flowed from Ola’s eyes as she didn’t know why God decided to bless
her with Micheal. He had been the best thing that happened to her. After she
had bought the egg business from her landlady, he had pumped money into
the business for her...He was the only son of a wealthy businessman.
They had gotten married after 3 years of being friends and they had 3 other
kids together.

“My doctor will be unhappy with us if we are late for her graduation “ Micheal
was saying. He was referring To Sunmibare. Sunmibare was graduating from

“ Big mummy 1, Big mummy 2 said you should come to the living room in a
hurry” Oba’s son had rushed into Ola’s room...
Oba’s son, Josiah referred to Ola as Big mummy 1, while Ope as Big mummy

Ope and Oba with their respective immediate families were seated in the
living room all dressed to go for Sunmibare’s graduation. As Ola walked into
the living room, Ope said...
“ Ola, this is the pastor, that prayed for you at the hospital when you lost your
voice, he is the new pastor who came in from Las Vegas to establish his
church in Nigeria...” Ope said pointing to a handsome looking pastor on the
screen...

“ Sukki...Sukki...a pastor?” Ola became highly hysterical with tears pouring
out of her eyes as she was laughing in amazement at who she was watching...
Sukki was looking good, but Ola couldn’t believe he turned out a pastor... His
name was Pastor Sunkanmi Emmanuel... Obviously, He had changed his
name.
“He is the son of a herbalist, so where did he get the name Emmanuel?, this
guy is a scam?” Ola said out loudly...
“ What is wrong? Olami, you know him?” Micheal asked as he saw how wild
his wife had become...
“ Yes.... Is this not the useless thing that raped me back then... So now he has
become a pastor!”
The entire living room was so quiet if a pin had dropped, it would have
sounded like a plane crash....
“Are you saying this is the Sukki that raped you? Sunmibare’s father?” Oba
asked
“Maybe He is changed and now born again...” One of Oba’s Daughters said...
“Change my foot!, Kikelomo, you don’t speak when adults are talking ...”Ola
replied angrily
“If this is true, then I will use everything in my power to fight him?” Oba
said...
“Then to think that he actually lied to both of us on the day you gave
birth....He disguised as a pastor to remove the spell of dumbness he put on
you... You said his father is a herbalist, right?” Ope said

Ola nodded
“Then how are we sure, he will not use diabolical powers in his fake church
he is about to establish in the country...” Oba said
“Oba, you must use your political power to fight this guy, let them probe him,
find out why he suddenly left Las Vegas to establish a ministry in Nigeria...
Are you sure he wasn’t deported..?” Ola said furiously...
Micheal knew his wife was boiling and he needed them to be on their way for
Sunmibare’s graduation.
“Honey, can we discuss this on our way, we are running late....” Micheal
said...
Everyone got out of the house, Each family wanted to take their individual
cars, but due to what was been discussed , Ola, Oba and Ope took one car,
while Micheal drove Another car with some of the children. Ope’s Husband
and Oba’s Wife with other children took another car....
In Oba’s Car, Oba had started making calls to some of his friends in Las
Vegas, to find out more about Sukki’s church in Las Vegas.
Ope who had over 8 million followers on her social media platform posted a
question???
“This pastor who just came in from Las Vegas to establish a church in
Nigeria, Who knows him? Hope Nigeria is not fast becoming a religious
dumping ground...? #just saying”
“The guy has a soft spot for fair skinned girls...too randy for a pastor...”
“He was charged with rape in Las Vegas and he ran to Nigeria for
shelter...#shakingmyhead

“Though very loaded with the word, but some of his doctrines are highly
questionable!”
“If Nigeria knows what’s best for her as a country, don’t let him establish
his satanic church there, his church shut down four years ago in Las Vegas
on its own after 18 years...Couldn’t fool the people anymore. Heard he was
a cultist Wayback In school and was expelled..”
“His members’ way of life is worse than an average unbeliever, they feel
their sins have been taken care of by the death of Jesus... They drink, smoke,
womanizer but yet raise “holy” hands to God on sundays”
“I told you the guy can never be truly saved...” Ola was literally screaming in
the car...
“The guy will not establish his church in this country... I swear... I need to
call some of my people...” Oba said confidently
Oba took his phone to call a fellow senator, as he bowed his head, he didn’t
know there was a big pothole ahead of him...
In what felt like a dream, the car somersaulted three times and eventually
rolled off the road....
“My God!” Micheal screamed as he saw the accident take place ahead of him

Sukki was observing his hourly prayer, but he noticed his phone was on
“fire”...
His phone had been ringing but he refused answering as he wanted to finish
his prayer.
Micheal and the other members of the family had parked their cars. Oba’s
car was nowhere in sight. Ope’s Husband had called the police helpline and
they had promised to contact the Road safety corps in that axis...
Other travellers who had seen the accident also had stopped as they all went
into the bush looking for Oba’s car.
Eventually, they saw it after about 5 minutes walk from the road. The trio
were literally gone. Micheal couldn’t hold back his tears as he saw his wife in
the pool of her own blood...Oba’s wife had stayed back with the children in
the car.
Ope’s Husband also pulled out his wife. He was emotionally stronger than
Micheal. His name was Lucky. The good Nigerians who had stopped, helped
in carrying the trio to the main road...
On getting to the main road, the Road safety corps had arrived with an
ambulance... They took over the trio from them and one of the officers quietly
told his other officer,
“ Shut up! We can’t conclude that..., Let’s get them to the state hospital first..”
Micheal heard them...
“ Which one of them?” He was weeping like a baby but Lucky kept holding
him back...

Sunmibare was calling her parents, but no one was picking. Today was her
day, she was going to be the best graduating student of her set. She wanted
to see the smile of pride on her mother’s face when her name would be called.
She wanted to specially thank her mother for not aborting her pregnancy.
She decided to call Uncle Lucky.
Lucky saw Sunmibare’s call. He composed himself and went aside to answer
her...
“ We were on our way but there has been a minor accident, and some of us
sustained minor injuries. We are trying to get to the nearest hospital. Once
we are good, we will join you!”
“ Don’t bother your beautiful self about it, just have a beautiful graduation.”
“ Sunmi, you will still have other graduation ceremonies, you still have your
masters and Ph.D. graduation, and by God’s Grace we all will be there... Not
forgetting your wedding...” he joked

“ Ok... but why is Dad and Mum not picking up, is the accident that serious?”
Lucky hung up the phone. He was the kind of person who was always calm
in the midst of storms and that was why he loved the work of managing
people. That was how he met Ope 23 years ago. He had met her as an aspiring
musician. He had pushed her to the top as her manager.
He knew Ope could not die because she was his money-bank. She was his
investment. He had sealed the deal with her by getting married to her 20
years ago and changed her name to Sexy Sasha. They didn’t get their break
until 10 years ago after Ola had pumped in money into Ope’s music career.
“God cannot just delete her like that!” Lucky had reassured himself ...
Oba’s wife was shaking and crying. She had been having several nightmares
for over 4 weeks which she had been telling Oba about. Oba would always
wave her aside telling her the dream could never come to pass. Oba’s wife;
Pelumi was the daughter of a pastor. She was gifted in dreams. For over four
weeks she had been seeing 3 graves side by side.
“ God, please I prayed and fasted, please don’t let this evil dream come to
manifestation” Pelumi was saying loudly...
Sukki checked his phone after his prayers, it was his right-hand man, the
man who had started his ministry with him 22 years ago.

Had his secret come out in the open, did Sexy Sasha say anything about what
he did to her sister...?
10 years earlier, Sukki had stumbled on Ope’s video. He thought it was Ola,
but when he researched her online, he realized she was the twin he had seen
at the hospital. He was relieved when he saw that “ Strawberry” was happily
married and the girl that was his child was looking good in their family
portrait. He decided not to come back into Ola’s life demanding for the child
so as not to cause trouble for her, though he didn’t have a child of his own,
but Why Austin’s sudden question about knowing Sexy Sasha....?
“She has ignited an online fire against you, check out her page
@sexysasha_realbae,” Austin said...
Sukki logged onto her page and he read her post, but what hit him below the
belt was the comments that followed. Some were regrettably true, while some
were outrightly false.
“God, this is not good... these people don’t know things have changed...
please let them know, that things have changed...” Sukki said crying... “ This
will sabotage what you are about to do with me..”
As he kept reading, new comments started pouring in...,
“ OMG... Sexy Sasha in a ghastly motor accident a few minutes after posting
a comment about this new pastor... Who is this pastor, hope he is not
diabolical.???”
“ Sexy Sasha confirmed dead a few minutes after posting comments about
Pastor Sunkanmi Emmanuel... Is this a reply from God “ That touch not my
anointed” or is this man a Juju pastor??”

Sukki’s hands started shaking nervously... He called Austin to find out the
authenticity of the story...
“ God, please don’t fight for me this way...?” Sukki said as he laid on the floor
weeping before the Lord...
Ola, Ope, and Oba had been placed on life support, but Ope’s heartbeat
stopped...
Lucky didn’t want to believe what had happened...He rushed into the room,
holding Ope dear to his heart...He knew who he had to call, his estranged
mother...
“ Mother, please beg God for me, my wife must not die,” Lucky said to his
mother...
Mama Aladura was seated on the top of the mountain praying when she saw
her son’s call. He had not called her in 8 months.
“ Accident?” Mama Aladura did not believe her daughter in law could die,
just like that, God would have shown her...
And her eyes were opened to see Oba, Ola, and Ope on a journey to father’s

Oba, Ola, and Ope were in a big farmland rushing towards a particular farm.
They seemed very angry over something. Ope was the one leading the squad.
“Ha!,” Mama Aladura screamed. She stood up from the mountain while
placing a call to her son...
“ Ha!, he is not just a guy, he is a servant of God, a great one at that, I don’t
know what business your wife has with him, but she must have done
something against him, which made some heavenly beings to be angry with
her... The man has angels working with his ministry, it is those angels that

“ Ha! Mother!, What can we do, I told them I am bringing Ope to you, my
wife is not dead...” Lucky said weeping
“ State hospital!”
“ Ok... in the meantime, let’s find how you can get to the pastor... it is very
important...”
“ Why?”
Lucky knew there was a deeper meaning to what his mother had just said.
He was the only son of his mother who had three other daughters. He was
the rebellious one.
His mother had trained them in the way of the Lord, but he had always
wanted to be on the other side of life...
He wanted the drinking, clubbing, smoking, womanizing part of life, but his
mother would not agree, which made him become rebellious very early
always arguing with his mother...
At that point, he knew arguments were not going to solve his problem as Ope
had been confirmed dead 5 minutes earlier, but he trusted the God of his
mother could raise her up...
************
Sukki had heard the bad news from Austin. Sexy Sasha was dead, Strawberry
and her brother were in a coma...
“God, three souls can’t be lost because of me, please father, bring them back!”
Sukki cried in his bedroom.

The kick the valiant men had given the trio landed them before a big gate,
that opened up to a large farmland...
A man dressed as a farmer who was the gateman of the farmland saw the trio.
He walked up to them and told them to follow him...
The trio walked quietly behind the farmer as they approached a beautiful
Farmhouse ahead...
When they got to the farmhouse, the farmer said from below looking up to
the tall farmhouse.
HIM who was called FATHER Stepped out of His Farmhouse. He looked
Ancient but Handsome.
“ We were cut down by the men watching over Sunkanmi Emmanuel’s farm,”
Oba said with regrets...
“ I know, I was just asking you why you let anger, unforgiveness to get the
best of you. You caused your untimely return yourselves... “FATHER said
“ We are sorry, we felt he was trying to grow poisonous crops on his farm that
will destroy the lives of people since he wasn’t a well-trained farmer,” Ope
said...

“ What’s wrong Idiopemipo?, You have no answers for me... Well, Let’s take
a stroll to your farm for inspection. Let’s see if you are better than
Sunkanmi.”
FATHER walked down from the tall Farmhouse and the trio followed him...
As they moved on and passed different farms, they saw a name that was
familiar “ JUMOKE JOHNSON”. The farm was very green with different
fruits on it.
“ You remember her?” Father asked and the trio nodded as they remembered
the first angel in human form they had met.

“She is a good woman, even in her pain, she still bears fruits...” FATHER said
and the trio looked at each other surprisingly…
Miss Johnson appeared before them as she painfully tended her plants. Out
of tiredness, she took frequent rests, but in no time, she picked herself up,
again and again, removing weeds around the plants...
“Oh, you think she is dead, no… my daughter Jumoke is very much alive, I
didn’t take her pain away because I wanted to use her as a great example to
people on earth. Serving me and working tirelessly on her farm, even with
her pains. Her rewards are with me and very great.. The world sees her as a
barren woman, but to me, she has a lot of fruits. You three were parts of the
seeds I planted on her farm.
She nurtured you till the time I took you away from her. My plan was to plant
you with Ayowale and Banke, but Ola blocked the way for you three...She
couldn’t stand Sunkanmi.” FATHER said but then faced Ola and spoke to her
directly as they walked
Ola was tilling her ground, she planted a little crop on her ground, suddenly
Sukki, Torture, and Axe ran into the farmland and grabbed the crop, in the
process, Sukki hit her with a big stick and poured some of the sand on her
face...
FATHER continued...

“When you did your three days fasting and prayer, you told me to establish
my purpose in your life, and part of your prayer was for Me to glorify myself
through you… Ola, sometimes me glorifying myself through men may be
painful and uncomfortable for men, but in the long run, my name is glorified
in their lives. Olugbala(saviour) my first Son; when he was also on earth
prayed that I glorify myself through him. What did he get after that prayer?
He was crucified, but note that it was in this crucifixtion that I was glorified
through him... Now, He sits at my right hand.” Father had said
“You overcoming the rape and coming out strongly was to help other young
farmers who may have sustained such injuries to know they can also survive
and still make great things out of your farmland …, but instead you went on
a revenge course…”
Ola was already shedding tears as she knew she had definitely done
something wrong… From what father was saying, did it mean that she was
meant to have made a ministry out of her past misery?
Oba, Ola, and Ope jumped back in fear. They were in front of a barren land,
with no crops on it, but what was fearful was the fact that the land was filled
with blood, the land was smelling terrible, there was a lot of poop scattered
all around the ground, dead babies on the land, terrible looking creatures…
Ope tried to run away, but she couldn’t move her feet…
“Running away from what you see?, Idiopemipo You can’t, it’s your farm”
“No.. this cannot be my farm, this is blood on the farm, No crops but blood.
I have never killed anyone in my life!’

“Brain behind crimes…?What Crimes?”
“I gave you a very big farm, to plant good crops to feed millions of people,
but you turned around and started working for one of my old workers who I
sent away from my farmland. He was a treacherous, double-crossing worker.
He wanted to turn all my workers against me…
Like a movie, the trio saw some valiant looking men standing in a circle and
discussing in low tones…
“That way we end this authoritative rule of his, you can be our overall leader,
while we will still have dominion over different farmlands...” one of the
Valiant men replied
“Who knows the end of a thing than the manufacturer, he thought he could
hide such a plan from me if only he knew that I have my monitoring eyes all
over my farmland…”

“You will face Micheal squarely, if we can get him, we can win the battle” The

Father kept speaking to the Trio as HIS VOICE was gradually changing from
the fatherly voice he was using to speak to the trio earlier…
“They declared war, and I stood in my farmhouse watching how Micheal and
his fellow workers took the treacherous worker and his accomplices down.
They were cast out… A creature I made for my Glory turned against me..”
“And you Ope who I created for my praise, I created you for My glory, you
decided to team up with the one who betrayed me. You started working for
him, by making his agenda popular, you used the farm and tools I gave you
to plant his own crops which started killing people…” Father said with his
eyes showing fire...
As Father Spoke, the trio started seeing Ope’s music videos playing on the
screen and the effects on people…
A young boy was watching one of Ope’s videos, and right there in his room
started masturbating.
A lady who listened to One of Ope’s music went to her boyfriend’s house.
They danced to Ope’s music and thereafter due to the erotic nature of the
music, committed sexual immorality. Afterward, she got pregnant.
The trio saw the lady seated thinking about what to do, one of Ope’s video

but he wanted to be rich at all cost…Your songs like….”
“All your songs influenced him to go into a lot of vices, from armed robbery
to assassination to money ritual. In his lifetime, before he died, he had killed
179 people in his bid to make money. You knew him as G-MONEY.”
Ope had her mouth wide open, she knew G-MONEY, he was one of those who
gave her money for her concerts. He was one of her biggest fans….She never
knew he got his money through diabolic means, though she always knew he
couldn’t have had all that money through legal means.
“Idiopemipo, do you know how many people’s’ blood are on you?, that you
dare speak about Sunkanmi’s farmland?... Sunkanmi’s farmland was as filthy
as yours in the past as he was feeding his members with unripe produce as
that was the level of farming he knew. The man who trained him in ministry
did not give him a complete guide to farming. He taught him what he also
knew... Unlike you whose father had taught you well, you had no excuse to
plant poisonous crops on your land..”
Ope was the one been spoken too, but Oba and Ola were shivering,
FATHER’S wrath was not a good thing, fire exuded out of his body at every
of his outburst.
“Sunkanmi didn’t know how best to farm than what he had been taught, he
had been taught that there was therefore no more condemnation in Christ
Jesus, but they excluded the second part that states that who walk not after

of the flesh like immorality, drunkenness, Gambling which is a product of
Greed, should not be seen in the life of a new farmer…, but recently, Sukanmi
came to know the truth and he came begging for Mercy. His once filthy land
like yours was swept clean by the blood of the Saviour. Now, his farm which
he started growing little crops on, you Idiopemipo came and set it on fire
with your filthy hands…”
By this time Ope was weeping profusely, she knew what awaited her... She
had used her talent against God and had not reconciled her ways with God
before meeting with FATHER.
“You who is so full of sin was the first to cast a big stone, Should I begin to
list all these other rottenness lying on your field, some of the things your
siblings don’t even know….?”
Ope committed Adultery with different men, Some were politicians, others
Co- celebrities.
“ You slept with different men at will, in your few years of marriage with
Lucky, you had a divorce, got married to Bonny, you later divorced Bonny
and remarried Lucky..” FATHER said in anger
“Have you forgotten how, out of your negligence, one of the fruits of your
farmland got rotten and died...?”
A scene played out, and the trio saw how Ope’s first baby had died spiritually
in the hands of her nanny.
When Ope had her first baby for Lucky, they were so caught up with Ope’s

“Get thee behind me, you worker of iniquity and let your farm be given to

Sukki had been on the floor for close to an hour wailing and crying when he
suddenly saw a trance. A fruit fell off its tree.
He wept sore, he asked God to have Mercy and keep the other two.
Mama Aladura felt it in her Spirit as she started weeping, she knew her
daughter in law was gone…
“God! I have served you tirelessly in praying for people, don’t let people ask
me where my God is …” She was weeping and asking the Lord for Mercy as
she sat in the Taxi that was taking her to the State Hospital.
Michael had called every pastor he knew, asking them to pray for his wife
and pleading that if any one of them knew Pastor Sunkanmi Emmanuel
personally, they should please apologize to him on his wife’s behalf.
What Ope had intended for evil for Sukki, suddenly started turning around
in his favour. The internet was bubbling with comments on how “Touch not
the anointed and do my Prophet no harm” was practically happening. Sukki’s
followers started going into hundreds of thousands in less than an hour.
Lucky saw his life crumbling, with the death of Ope, all he had rebelliously
built outside of God was going to go down the drain…
Oba’s wife had called her parents who were on their way to the hospital.
Oba’s wife kept asking God to please show His kindness to her. All of a
sudden, Oba started jerking, the nurses and doctor rushed in trying to
stabilize him….

***********
Meanwhile, Oba was shivering in a jerky way, just like he was doing on the
hospital bed in his unconscious state, as he walked behind FATHER. Father
had told them the next farm they were going to check out was Oba’s Farm…
As they got to the farm, the farm was in three parts, the first part was green,
while the second part was dry and barren and the third part was bloody.
“You have done a few good things with the opportunity I gave you. Due to
your wife’s influence in your life, you gave to the general upkeep of my
servants, you blessed the lives of men who worked in my vineyard, you
supported church projects, and you gave towards different forms of
evangelism. Your wife recently forced you to support a Gospel movie project,
which is that big tree on your land.”
The tree FATHER pointed at was a very big tree, it was a recently planted
tree, but it grew speedily and bore a lot of fruits.
Oba’s wife Pelumi, had always been passionate about the things of God. She
donated to the things of God, she forced her husband on several occasions to
support mission work. Oba knew “The Big tree” FATHER was referring to,
which had a lot of fruits growing on it, was a movie project he just recently
donated to. His wife had read a book and felt the story would be great as a
film. She had spoken to the writer of the story about making the story into a
movie. Pelumi had forcefully told Oba to donate 20 million for the
production of the movie. The movie had become an evangelical success, as
lives had been won through the movie…
“Yes you gave generously from the proceeds of the businesses I had given
you, but the Position I gave you, what did you do with it?”
At that point, Oba knew trouble was ahead for him as he kept mute….
“You also joined them to fight Sunkanmi, Really? Oluwasomidoba, very early
in life I connected you with Kingmakers who gave you a great footing in
politics. I started out with making you, a Local Government Chairman for 8
years, what did you do to the funds of the people?...” FATHER said staring
into Oba’s Eyes.
Oba's eyes brought out tears as he knew the answer to that question, he had
followed the system of politics he had promised God not to follow. He had
104
INSPIRED BY THE LIVING WORD OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE
told God he was going into politics to change the society, and with God’s help,
he became Local government Chairman, when he was 30 years old.
After he graduated from school, he had become the Personal Assistant to the
National Leader of one of the leading political parties. When the party got
into power, the national Leader made sure Oba became one of the Local
Government Chairmen. He stood up for Oba declaring that though Oba was
young, he was wise.
“You authorized payments for ghost workers, which you had a way of sending
the money into your personal account. You promised those in your local
government, you would make sure electricity was stable, but for 8 years you
did nothing. What about your tenure as a governor. You became a
disappointment that no one voted you in for your second tenure. You made
a lot of Children drop out of school, as you didn’t encourage the educational
sector. You didn’t pay teachers their salaries as at when due, so they started
failing in their responsibilities as teachers. It was really disheartening to see
that you who people helped to make you pass through school, was the one
not caring about the academics of the less privileged populace. You were a
BIG failure as a governor.”
FATHER’s voice sounded like many waters...
“You were just adding unto yourself money you didn’t need, and depriving
those who really needed it, saving money in foreign accounts, keeping money
in empty tanks, keeping money in unoccupied houses, burying money in
public cemeteries.” FATHER recounted as Oba and Ola watched Oba’s evil
political endeavours playing out before them.

Now as a senator, you want to make use of your power of making laws to
destroy my son’s farm and my general farmland.” FATHER said in outrage
as Oba wept bitterly
A scenario played out before them and Oba and Ola saw few minutes before
their accident. Oba was thinking about Sukki as he was driving and trying to
call one of his friends...
“ It’s high time we made a law that will give us the power to set up a “Church
leadership vetting committee”. I can bring it up in the House. So that the
government will be the one to determine who becomes a pastor or spiritual
head of the church in this country. The Pastor’s personal life will be
screened, his past and present to know if he can start up a church in Nigeria.”
Oba had thought in his heart as they drove towards Sunmibare’s school...
“ Oba, you wanted to instigate the government to make a law that will affect
the body of Christ negatively?” FATHER questioned and Oba had no answer
whatsoever. His heart cried for Mercy...
“I made you great through people who helped you from their farmland,
Jumoke Johnson helped you, KikiOlaluwa helped you, Micheal and the
student body helped you but heartbreakingly the best you could do in return
was to be stealing the farm produce of people you ought to have helped. You
were a thief and a rapist...You dare condemn Sunkanmi for raping your
sister, what about you? YOU RAPED THE PEOPLE OF THEIR RIGHTS,
their rights to be educated, their right to basic public funds, their rights to
life... you made people lose their lives on the bad road you patched instead of
repairing….
Another scene in Oba’s Life was playing out in front of the two…
“A&A contractors, you see the government doesn’t have the money to repair
those roads, just pour some granite here and there…” Oba said to a
contractor who was seated in front of him
106
INSPIRED BY THE LIVING WORD OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE
“But your Excellency, it will be more economical to fix the roads, as we have
been patching these roads every two months…”
“That’s my final word on that, the government doesn’t have money”
“Sir, please I want you to consider the rate of accidents and deaths we have
been recording on that road, we need to fix the roads…”
“A&A contractors, people will always die, people will always have
accidents, with or without bad roads, but if you are not interested in
patching the road, I can call another contractor”…
“No please sir, I am interested”.The scenario playing in front of them faded
out and FATHER continued…
“Instead of using the advantaged farmland I gave you as a politician and
leader to sow good crops and give the people a good life, you took their money
and wasted their blood.”
Ola and Oba stayed quiet, as the sound of guilt rang loudly in their ears.
“So Oba, what do you think your judgement should be because by stealing
public funds you are not any better than the prostitute, armed robber, or the
murderer?”
Oba bent his head in tears as he knew FATHER’S judgement had to be that
he should depart from His sight and His position be given to someone who
was more worthy.
He saw his case for what it was, God had given him a farm, where he could
have fed a lot of people, where he could have saved a lot of lives, provided
shelter for people, but instead, he stole from people to enrich himself….
However, from a distance, Oba and Ola saw the big tree shaking and bowing
on its own accord...Father looked towards the tree and said...
“The souls of those that got saved through the movie you donated towards
are pleading on your behalf, but…..”

“ MY FATHER’S FARMLAND”

Let’s take a look at Ola’s farm, while you think over what your judgement
should be…” FATHER said to Oba as Ola followed after HIM…
Ola’s Land was so large, and thankfully, she didn’t have blood on her land,
rather her farm had a lot of rotten fruits. A lot of fruits were overripe and had
fallen to the ground thereby causing rottenness.
“Ola, you sowed the seeds of hard work and prayer for fruitfulness on your
farm, and you got a bountiful harvest, but you have done what has made your
farmland a rotten place…”
Ola looked on, wondering what the rottenness meant, as she had tried to live
a good life.
“You amassed wealth for yourself and never gave out. Your crops, your fruits
were multiplying, but you didn’t give out… Your reason was simple! You felt
you had suffered greatly while growing up and you didn’t want to become
poor again. But Kikiolaoluwa, now that you have left the earth, won’t
someone else take over your position and enjoy your wealth?
Your land kept producing unending harvest, but you didn’t give out the
fruits. Don’t you think I should take this farmland from you and give it to
someone worthy, someone who will be able to help some of my other farmers
who may not have seeds to sow on their lands?
Kikiolaoluwa, your being blessed was for you to a blessing to others, to my
work and my workers, but your case was like that of a nanny who was given
food for herself and the children, but ended up starving the children, while
eating the food all alone, What do you think should be done to the Nanny...”
Father said
Ola knew Father was right, She had attended a lot of finance and money
management training seminars, that had made her very disciplined when it
came to giving out her money. That discipline was definitely selfishness in
disguise.

“All the pains, injuries you went through, Kikiolaoluwa, I permitted you to
go through those phases to create in you an understanding of what other less
privileged farmers were going through. Like I told you earlier, injuries are
not out of the ordinary for farmers. I permitted the rape injury so you could
feel, understand and cater for those who might have been raped, I permitted
the pregnancy so that you could feel the pain of teenage single mothers. I was
expecting that as you grew financially, you would build homes for the less
privileged people, but you were less concerned about them.
Kikiolaoluwa, I permitted you to be dumb for a short while, with the high
expectations that when your wealth comes, you will care for the less
privileged with disabilities.
I made you and your siblings go through financial hardship and educational
hardship, so that when the harvest I had prepared for you and your siblings
manifested, you would be able to help the less privilege who had financial
issues and educational issues.
Rather, Ola You never helped people despite the compassionate heart I made
you have, you have been buying properties, saving your money, and getting
the public recognition as the 7th Richest woman in Nigeria, who cannot boast
of blessing people.
Your Staff don’t enjoy the privilege of the wealth you have, your church
doesn’t, and other workers in my farmland…
Ola, who is worse?
Ola, the orphan who God took from a low position and raised her up to the
level of becoming a blessing to nations, but unfortunately, she blessed
nobody other than her family and few friends, thereby making her farmland
rotten littered with rotten overripe fruits
Or
Sunkanmi who despite having a rough farmland still tried to bless people
with the blessings he was blessed with. Sunkanmi had 250 students on
scholarship, 80 widows he fed every month, he was a regular giver to the
things of God...He did this even when he was ignorantly living in Sin. After
110

his genuine repentance and his once rotten land had been cleared, he stil
continued in the act of blessing people...
So, Answer me, who is worse?... Kikiolaoluwa who is more of a sinner?

Ola bowed her head in shame, not knowing what to do, it was evident, Sukki
was more righteous than she was…
“You humans judge fellow humans by what you can see, but there is much
more than what you see,” FATHER said as Ola found herself in front of
Sukki’s farm
The land was barren but there was an ancient tree nearby that had over 100
roots that went into different farmlands. One of the roots had found its way
into Sukki’s farm. The root in itself was big…
“This was Sunkanmi’s case when he was born. His farmland already had an
ancestral root of Sexual Immorality growing on it. His Ancestors had a strong
covenant with the marine powers. One of his Forefathers had a mermaid who
he entered a covenant with…
FATHER held Ola’s hands and together, they saw a man from a very distant
time in the past when men wore leaves as clothes… he sat with a beautiful
Lady beside a stream. They spoke in a language Ola had never heard before,
but Ola was able to understand the language because she suddenly began to
hear the conversation in English…
“How come you have not told me where you are from? We only meet by the
stream, and ever since I met you, I notice good things have been happening
to me. Whenever we meet by the stream I catch more fishes. It shows me
you will be a good wife that will bring me prosperity, should you agree to
marry me.”
“You can’t marry me…My kind cannot marry your kind”

The lady’s feet changed into a mermaid’s tail… The male lover jumped back.
His female lover transformed back…
“I knew you were going to run away from me…You never loved me in the
first place” the female lover said
The male lover dropped his fishing net and ran very far away from her, only
for her to show up ahead of him…

“The only way he can be healed is for him to get married to me and
throughout his lifetime, he must always come to the stream to make love to
me once every 5 days. The day he misses it, the sickness will return.
Secondly, his children and generations unborn must also be married to me.
It is a covenant that must never be broken…or else this sickness will not
depart from him and his generation”
The Mermaid said and when the lover nodded in agreement, she cut the
lover’s wrist and licked the blood…
“As long as blood flows in you and that of your lineage, you and your
generation are bound to me.” The mermaid said.
You were meant to be his road to freedom. Through you, I made him get
connected to Ayowale. I delayed Ayowale and Banke’s childbearing so they
could have time to help Sukki spiritually.
Ayowale had started weeding out the evil weeds in Sunkanmi’s life, he had
not uprooted the big ancient root of sexual perverseness before he ran away
from Ayo”...
As FATHER was speaking, Ola stood there watching everything play out,
what was happening was just like how the Bible stated that Whatever God
said, He saw it. As father kept talking, Ola Saw Sukki’s farmland with a lot of
rottenness on it and the big ancient root was still present.
Ola saw Pastor Ayo weeding out things from Sukki’s land, he was clearing the
rottenness from the land, but as he was approaching the big root, Mrs Banke
appeared with Ola on the farm. Ola on seeing Sukki started eyeing him

maliciously. Ola made Mrs Banke stop her husband from pulling out the big
ancient root.”.

Ola wept sore as FATHER kept watching her… She saw what her
unforgiveness had caused another human being.
She knew she was the cause of Sukki’s fornication even as a pastor.
He ought to have had his deliverance and the purging of his land, as soon as
he had met Christ. Pastor Ayo would have helped him to pull out the big root
from his land… That must have been Pastor Ayo’s Assignment in his life, but
unfortunately, he did not fulfil that assignment…

opportunity of meeting Sunkanmi Again….

Meanwhile, Austin had driven down to Sunkanmi’s house. He had been
calling Pastor Sunkanmi’s phone for over an hour and he refused answering
the call.
Sexy Sasha’s death had raised different eyebrows and knowing who his
Pastor was, he knew Pastor Sunkanmi would be disturbed.
Sukki had met Austin in the Church he had joined after leaving Pastor Ayo,
and they had become best of friends.
Austin respected Sukki because he knew God’s hand was upon him. When
Sukki had pulled out to start his ministry, he had followed him willingly.
He and Sukki had relocated to Las Vegas to start the ministry. They had
pulled a lot of crowd as the gospel they were preaching was a gospel that gave
allowance for people to continue their sinful lifestyle. He and Sukki were
deeply involved in all forms of immorality until Sukki had received a call
from a Nigerian Number.
That Day, he and Sukki had been drinking alcohol in Sukki’s house after
Sunday service. Sukki’s phone rang and on answering the call, the caller
identified himself, Sukki’s countenance changed…He stayed silent on the
phone for 15 minutes only saying “Yes Sir, Yes sir.”

Pastor Ayo was the one who called Sukki 4 years earlier when his ministry
was making waves in Las vegas leading people astray.
Pastor Ayo and his wife had just celebrated 28 years wedding anniversary.
After he retired to his room that night, he had wept sore before the Lord…
“Father, I have never questioned you for not blessing my home with children,
as I kept encouraging myself that Your time is the best, but father, today I
saw my cousin’s daughter, she is 27 years old and has three children already...
My cousin is now a grandfather while I don’t even have a child of my
own...My Father! is it your will for me not to have children…?” Pastor Ayo
asked soaking his bed with tears
“You can’t move to a new class, if you failed the previous one, you cannot
have children of yours until you have raised the child I committed to you”.
FATHER said
“The child? Father, I have over 12 orphans leaving with me as we speak!”
Pastor Ayo answered cautiously for fear of offending God…
“ I know, but you lost a very important one 21 years ago. I gave you a battered
son to help nurture, but you lost him. Since you and your wife failed in
nurturing that one for me, I can’t entrust a bigger destiny into your hands.
He is lost and until you find him and raise him up for me, then will I give you
the child you desire...” Pastor Ayo heard the Lord speak to him.
Sukki’s image flashed through his mind, but confusion set in, as Pastor Ayo
had been seeing Sukki online. He had seen that he was already a pastor in
Las Vegas and that had been a great consolation for him and his wife, but
here was God telling him, he was lost.

“ My Father, the only person that fits this description is Bro Sunkanmi who
graciously is now a servant of God, I can’t remember any other child you gave
me that is lost...”
“ Go and listen to his messages” Pastor Ayo had heard the Lord say to him on
a final note. He heard no more that night.
Pastor Ayo had picked up his mini-laptop immediately. He searched online
for Sukki’s messages. He had only listened to 3 of his messages when he knew
what God was saying...
Pastor Ayo saw that Sunkanmi was a half-baked minister.
He knew he had to do something about Sunkanmi, but he understood trying
to correct a grown-up child would not be easy.
He prayed and fasted for 7 days asking the Lord to prepare Sunkanmi’s heart
ahead. He was able to get his personal contact and after Sunday service, he
reached out to him...
“ Good Afternoon, Pastor Sunkanmi Emmanuel, I am Pastor Ayo who led you
to Christ about 21 years ago...”
“ Yes Sir”
“Ok Sir, I thank God for what God has been doing with you, but the Lord told
me, there are certain things that need to be uprooted out of your life sir. As
we speak, the Lord is telling me, you are smoking and drinking, which should
not be so, Because once we are in Christ, there are certain things that we need
to drop, Colossians 3:5-9 tells us the deep truths that the devil hides from
us... I am reading from my Bible, it reads...

Verse 8 gives the command “ But now you must also rid yourselves of all
such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from

Verse 9 reads “Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self
with its practices”
Verse 10 reads “ and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in
knowledge in the image of its Creator.”
Pastor Sunkanmi Emmanuel, a new man in Christ can not be a fornicator on
the side, you can not be comfortable committing the sin you used to commit
when you were the Old you...
Ultimately, at the end of this journey on earth where we are all strangers, the
gate of the Lord will be opened and only the righteous will walk through the
gate to be with the Lord.., Psalm 118:20...Only the righteous Bro Sunkanmi,
Only the righteous will enter through the gate of the Lord...” Pastor Ayo had
said
At that point, Sunkanmi had started crying... All the while, he knew his brand
of Christianity was not 100% perfect but he couldn’t help the lust in him, and
as a way of feeding his lust, he permitted his members to live their lives
carelessly, with the teaching that Grace covers all..
“Pastor Sunkanmi, I will leave you to think about all that I have discussed
with you, but should you want to speak to me, you can reach me on this same
line...”
After Pastor Ayo dropped, Sukki had looked Austin in the eye after Austin
asked why the tears, he told Austin...
“ Austin, we have missed it...”
“ How? what?”
Sukki had returned Pastor Ayo’s call the next day. He opened up his struggles
and Pastor Ayo wasn’t selfish with his words...
“An untrained teacher can not produce trained students, Pastor Sunkanmi,
You are a doctor that needs treatment, who is trying to treat sick patients,
You need time away from your flock, so you can get things right...”

Sukki knew what was happening, God was performing a spiritual operation

That night was the night of turn around for him. When he woke up, he felt
anew, he longed for righteousness.

When he returned to Las Vegas, he felt like a stranger in his own church.
Austin had done a good job of keeping some of the members in church but
some of them had disappeared because Pastor Sunkanmi was not around for
6 months.
He couldn’t stand the atmosphere of Godlessness he felt in the Church. As he
stepped on the altar to preach, he started crying instead. Members were
surprised and perplexed, not sure of what was wrong with their pastor...
Austin got up to the altar and silently asked Sukki to return to his office, but
Sukki stood his ground. He controlled his emotions and spoke...
“ A man can not give what he doesn’t have, and most times a man’s ministry
can be defined by his level of exposure and Spiritual depth. I say this with
regrets in my hearts that for over 18 years of pastoring you, I have not fed
you with the full portion of the gospel. I have only taught you a part of the
gospel that I knew. Also, there are lies I have told you, which I didn’t know
they were lies until recently. The past six months gave birth to the new and
more informed me. The new me that realizes, that God is a righteous God
and for those who want to be referred to as “His children” must make
deliberate and conscious effort to flee from sin every time.”
The Church was extremely quiet. Sukki preached for one hour on the
importance of consecration and sanctification.
The reactions were mixed, some appreciated him, while others insulted him,
saying the 6 months he had spent in Africa must have affected his senses.
After two months of trying to change the Church doctrines and teachings
without getting the positive result he expected, he felt he still needed more
time with God.

He returned back to Nigeria and sat with God under the pastoral Mentorship
of Pastor Ayo for two and a half years. Within those two and half years, he
grew spiritually in fasting and prayer.
Austin however, could not handle the Church well, so the church in Las
Vegas closed down on its own.
After two and a half years of intense spiritual purging, deliverance, Spiritual
growth and mentoring, Pastor Ayo ordained him a pastor.
“ So what next?, What do you perceive the Lord is asking you to do, because
I know by revelation that you are called to head a church ?” Pastor Ayo had
asked Sukki one sunny Friday afternoon.
“Daddy, I saw a revelation before relocating to Las Vegas 18 years ago. I saw
a man giving me a map, and he circled a location that started with LA..., I
woke up not remembering the other letters. I automatically guessed it was
LAS VEGAS, that was why I relocated there..”
“ Ok, then we need to query the revelation and find out what God has in mind
for you...” Pastor Ayo had said
After months of prayers, Sunkanmi had the same revelation and the map was
given to him again, this time he saw it well spelt out ... LAGOS.

“ Eunice, you caused it, you neglected your farm, helping others plant, water
and ensure the growth of their own seeds while leaving yours”
A scenario played out...
Mama Aladura praying for different people,
“ Your son will not become wayward in Jesus name. Madam concerning
your son, we will hold 7 vigils to draw his heart back to God.” Mama Aladura
was telling a woman
“ Sir, I assure you as the Lord Liveth, your daughter will not marry
wrongly” Mama Aladura was telling a man
“ Ma, your son has no option than to fulfil his divine destiny,” Mama Aladura
said to another woman...

FATHER spoke...
“ She is weeping when it is too late, most times, you humans blame me and
others for your misfortune when in the real sense, you caused it. Eunice was
doing the work I sent her, which was to be an intercessor... that explains the
green part of her land, but she neglected her children’s spiritual growth and
needs.
I didn’t ask her to stay on the mountain praying for people, but the monetary
rewards she was getting made her stay there... I wanted her to stay at home,
take care of her own plants and still intercede for people I lay in her heart,
but she made it her business by jumping from one person’s farm to another...
She prayed for other people’s daughters to be happily married, but her own
daughters are wrongly married. She prayed for other people’s sons not to
turn our wayward, but her son Lucky was the one who pushed Idiopemipo to
write and sing terrible songs because she did not nurture him well on her
farmland” FATHER said
“If she had been mindful of her own plants, she would have seen this death
coming. I never hide things from my servant, a message was sent to her, but
she was too preoccupied to decode the meaning of the dream..” FATHER said
as he faced Eunice
“ Eunice, Idiopemipo’s farmland has been given to someone else..”

“ Please Father, for the sake of your son Jesus Christ, I know I have erred in
different ways, please let Ope live”
“ No, but to be fair to you for the sake of the name of my son you mentioned,
I will give her farm to her daughter, the gifts she could not use well, I will give
it to her first daughter, so it is your duty to make sure her daughter uses the
gift and talent well....” FATHER said with a tone of finality and faced Oba
and Ola.
Oba and Ola had silently hoped father would forgive Ope because of her
mother in law, but it seemed FATHER’S mind was made up. Father had said
Sheryl, Ope’s daughter would take up her music career. Sheryl was 18 years
old and was a replica of Ope in looks and character. Sheryl was given her
mother’s farm in addition to her own.
Oba and Ola watched as the Valiant men removed the “ VACANT” billboard
and replaced it with Sheryl’s name...
Mama Aladura knew it was over, as she left FATHER’S feet.
***************
She snapped out of her few seconds trance and she got the message, She had
heard in her Spirit that her daughter in law, Idiopemipo was gone, but her
granddaughter Sheryl would take over where her mother had stopped.
Mama Aladura had tears flowing down her face, as she knew that was the end
of Idiopemipo’s journey, there was no point shouting and screaming over
spilt milk...
Meanwhile, Sukki placed a call to Pastor Ayo...

Meanwhile, Sukki placed a call to Pastor Ayo informing him about what was
happening, he heard little Iyanuoluwa crying in the background. Iyanuoluwa
was the miracle baby God had given Pastor Ayo and his wife, Mrs Banke after
30 years in marriage. It was shortly after he returned back for the Spiritual
Mentoring that Pastor Mrs Banke got pregnant after 29 years in marriage.
Pastor Mrs Banke on hearing fell down before the Lord, praying for Ola...She
and Ola had lost contact and she had not heard from her. She had only seen
her and her siblings on T.V. She had thanked God for their lives on how God
had helped them, especially when Oba became Governor of their state. She
didn’t try to re-establish a relationship with them as she felt, she didn’t add
anything to their lives the time she had the opportunity to do so...
Now was the time, she felt she could do something, she felt the trio could not
just end their lives that way considering their earliest struggles in life. Pastor
Mrs Banke posted on the church’s social media page asking people to
intercede for Oba and Ola as it had been officially confirmed Ope ( Sexy
Sasha) was dead.
Different voices were raised up at the same time...
Pastor Ayo, Mrs Banke, Sukki, Austin, Micheal, Pastors, Sunmibare & her
siblings, Pastor Ayo’s church members were raising their voices on behalf of
Kikiolaoluwa in particular.
Pelumi( Oba’s wife), her parents, her children and the men and women of
God who had ever eaten from Oba’s table courtesy of Pelumi’s seed sowing,
all raised their voices in intercession for Oba...

At the same time, on the farmland, “the big tree” on Oba’s farm was shaking,
bowing and shouting Mercy...This was because the writer of the story, which
Oba and Pelumi had donated towards making her story into a movie, posted
on her social media page ..,
“Please help raise a voice for the Executive producer of our recent movie, he
is presently in coma. If that movie ever blessed you, just take a minute and
join us to cry unto the Lord for Mercy...”
Thousands of people raised up prayers in response to the post...
As FATHER was about to declare His judgement...Thousands of voices that
sounded harmoniously like a choir kept shouting “ MERCY FATHER” on
behalf of Oba and Ola... To be continued

Oba and Ola saw as different people raised their voices on their behalf,
especially Sukki. Ola wept putting the blame on herself for her selfishness
and lack of forgiveness...
FATHER was moved by the voices, but HIS mind was made up, He wanted
to transfer Ola’s wealth to someone else. He wanted to give the wealth to
someone who could use the money to bless lives... FATHER gave wealth to
people he trusted to use it for the less privileged, widows, orphans and most
importantly for His House and all that had to do with Evangelism.
Ola realized what FATHER was about to do, by virtue of her selfishness, she
had acted wickedly to people. She didn’t give people money, She believed
anyone who didn’t have money was lazy. FATHER was about to take her
wealth and give it to a righteous person, no wonder the Bible stated
“ Good people leave an inheritance to their grandchildren, but the
sinner’s wealth passes to the godly.” Proverbs 13;22
As Ola watched, she remembered a message one of her pastors had preached
in a church service which she felt the pastor was trying to push them to drop
their money...
“ We must have deep passion for the things of God, please note that God
has blessed you, for the good of the house of God...God made Joseph a Vice
President In Egypt, to go ahead of the Israelites so that he will be able to
help the children of God during the famine. It was through Joseph’s
presence in Egypt that the Children of God were given the best place in the
land...You have been blessed to be a blessing to the body of Christ, Your
talent, your money and position is for the good of the body of Christ…”
Ola remembered turning her deaf ear to the rest of the sermon... But at that
moment she realized the man was right, despite Joseph suffering as she did,
he still forgave his brothers and blessed people.

“ Please Father, I have lived amongst humans, I have worn the skin of
humans. I know how it feels when a human is hurt... I remembered crying to
you to let the cup pass over me. I can say for a fact that I know the hurt and
pain Ola must have felt when she saw Sunkanmi... but I know what you want
is that humans should learn to forgive one another, which was why I prayed
to you before leaving the earth that “ Father, forgive them for they know not
what they are doing”.
I know Ola is guilty of not learning that part of Godly living but please for
the sake of my death, please give Kikiolaoluwa another chance... Please
father...Remember the good works of her parents...Your son Amos
Jenriayegbe was a good and godly man.” The SON said to the FATHER.
While the Son spoke to the FATHER, everywhere was quiet, Father looked
without saying a word...
FATHER wept...
FATHER Loved all His creatures, but most of his creatures did not Love
Him...
His son knew the Love FATHER had for mankind was deep, so His son said
one last sentence that made Father have a rethink about His judgement...
“Deal with Ola and Oba according to your Love and not
according to their sins...”
**********
Ola felt like he fell into his body...
Pelumi was holding her husband’s hand when she felt his hand move... She
had been speaking in tongues continuously for the past 30 minutes with tears
flowing down her face...

What about Ola? Did Ola make it? He looked around trying to find out if Ola
was in the same room...
“O…la?” He tried to say to his wife...
“In the next room...” Pelumi replied
“Alive?” He asked
“She is still breathing, but not yet awake..” Pelumi replied
“ We don’t know where he is, Micheal has been trying to reach him...” Pelumi
rose up
“ God, please give Ola a second chance, please ....” He said quietly
“Please take me to Ola’s room” he managed to say...
“You need to be calm, you cannot just rise up and walk up to her room...”
Pelumi said...
Oba obeyed Pelumi...

Ola didn’t wake up for days. Oba sat by her side for days praying she would
wake up...
Sukki decided to pay them a visit, though in fear, because he didn’t know
what to expect. When Oba saw him, he knelt before him asking him to
forgive them for trying to play God concerning him. Sukki also apologized for
the wrong He ever did to his family...
Sukki asked for permission to be alone with Ola...
“Oh Lord, for the hurt I caused her in the time of ignorance, Please let her
live, Forgive her for her unforgiveness towards me, I got my punishment of
living a promiscuous life, I have not been able to settle down in marriage for
over 25 years, which I pray daily to you about, but Mrs Ola has a wonderful
family who loves her... Father think of our daughter together, she would be
devastated to lose her mother...Therefore, please let her live...For the sake of
your call upon my life, let her live in the name of Jesus Christ, your son.
*************
Father had released both of them that day…His judgement had been...
“ For the sake of my son, Jesus Christ, I release you to go back to your bodies,
but Kikiolaoluwa, you will remain at the gate until Sunkanmi comes to pick
you up at the gate…”
Oba and Ola had walked towards the gate of the farmland, Oba had been
allowed to pass through the gate. Ola watched as Oba disappeared into a
faraway light… Ola had to wait for Sunkanmi to come pick her up. She waited
135
INSPIRED BY THE LIVING WORD OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE
and waited until she suddenly saw him coming towards the gate of the
farmland…
Sukki held Ola by the hand and took her towards the light….
*************
“ Thank you…Jesus...Thank you..” Ola said faintly as she saw that she was
back to life. She saw Sukki weeping, and she wanted to tell him, she was the
one who ought to be crying…, but she didn’t have the strength, she only
managed to say…
“ I am so…rry”…

“We are gathered here together to pay our last respects to our beloved Sister,
mother, friend, daughter, celebrity who is presently resting in the bosom of
our Lord, Jesus Christ,” the pastor said during Idiopemipo’s funeral service.
Ola could not stop her tears, she knew her sister was not resting in the bosom
of our Lord, Jesus Christ as popularly proclaimed. She had been banished
from His presence for using her God-given gifts against her creator.
Oba and Ola had discussed what they had seen and they were surprised that
they had both seen the same thing. They both rededicated their lives to Christ
and vowed to judiciously use the opportunity of the additional years they had
gotten from God for His glory.
Oba and Ola exchanged looks as the pastor said Ope was resting in the bosom
of the Lord Jesus, Ola decided to use the opportunity to speak the truth…She
wrote a note to the pastor that she would love to say a few words
After about 5 minutes of the pastor preaching, Ola stepped to the podium
and said…
Number one, Live your life like you don’t own it, Always remember
God created you, hence He is the one who owns the copyright to
your life
Two, Live your life pleasing God in deeds and with your talents
because He was the one who gave you the gift in the first place...

Three, Let not the love of money, fame and power push you away
from God, because when your time is up on the earth, you will
leave all that behind, and that God you have pushed far away
from is the same God you will have to face without a choice…
I am sure if Ope could send us a message from where she is, she
would love to tell all parents to remember to water their children
every day, before watering their career, and businesses, because
at the end of the day, your children are the plants that will grow
into big trees where you as parents will hide in your old age from
the sun and rain of life…
I am sure Ope would have loved to tell Sheryl her daughter, that
nothing pays that serving God with your skills and talents.
Kikiolaoluwa said this looking towards Ope’s celebrity friends who came to
grace the occasion. She continued…
I am sure Ope would have loved to tell Robin, her first son, that
life is too short not to make the right choices.
“As Idiopemipo’s twin, I know a thousand things my sister would have loved
to say to everyone seated here, but I will summarize in one sentence…
She would want to tell you this...
“ In all that you do, in all that you have, and in all position that you find
yourself, do everything to Love the Lord your God, obey His
138
INSPIRED BY THE LIVING WORD OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE
commandments, and live every day of your life in Christ, bearing in mind
that after death is judgement.”
Everywhere was quiet, a lot of people had graced the occasion, including
celebrities, politicians and Ola felt that was a great time to win souls.
The funeral had people thinking, Ola didn’t tell anyone if Ope made heaven
or not, but she had made them look inward, and forced them to do a self-
appraisal.

Sukki got married to a beautiful lady. Sukki was 47 when he tied the knot
with Morise, who was 42 years old. She was one of the Spiritual daughters
of Pastor Ayo and Mrs Banke. She was a former prostitute who the Lord
saved through Pastor Ayo and Mrs Banke.
Morise became born again through Pastor Ayo when she was 30 years old,
and With the help of God, she went through a lot of spiritual exercises to
cleanse her from all unrighteousness and be fit for the masters’ use.
Sukki started his church 6 months after Ope’s death. The church grew
speedily in no time. The church was well attended as Pastor Sunkanmi taught
the Word with depth. A one time herbalist’s son, rapist and half baked
preacher, who surrendered himself unto the Lord, received Mercy and
became a useful tool in the hands of the master.
Sukki was formerly introduced to Sunmibare, and a great friendship sprang
up between Father and child.
Morise during her wayward years had her womb removed, so giving birth
was not part of the plan for Her and Sunkanmi.
She had told Sunkanmi about it before marriage and Sunkanmi had said…
“ We are products of a man who God delayed his childbearing to cater for us,
so why don’t we also make ourselves available for God to be used to become
parents to orphans … Let’s reduce God’s stress…” Sukki had said jokingly and
together with his wife, they opened a foundation named “God’s Special ones”
They built a twin duplex beside their house, to house these orphans. They
made it a duty to act as full-time parents to them, checking on them daily,
except they were out of the country for ministrations…Sunkanmi’s Life
turned out better than how anyone thought it would.To be continued….

I have learnt that the world we live in is God’s Big Farmland, and we all have
our individual spaces, which I will like you to see as individual farm spaces.
I have learnt to plant good crops on my farmland.
I thank God for teaching me this big lesson and every other lesson I got to
learn, I am grateful for the privilege to be a blessing to a lot of people.
I thank my wonderful husband, who stood by me, from way back when I was
nothing. His love shows me what life should be about, “LOVE,
ACCEPTANCE & HELP” even when the person has nothing to offer back.
My husband met me, when I had been raped, I was pregnant and poor, and
yet he choose to love me and marry me. That is true love that we all should
possess for one another.
I thank the organizers of the Award, thank you, this is very thoughtful. I
return all Glory to God, for the privilege.
I am grateful, that I am privileged to show forth God’s wealth (

It was a very big concert and all the tickets had been sold out… It was the live
Concert of Sheryl; THE SAVED SINGER.
Ope’s daughter took after her mother musically. She even used her mother’s
stage Acronym “SS”. Ope was Sexy Sasha, but Sheryl, though called “ SS”,
made it clear to everyone that it meant SAVED SINGER.
Mama Aladura, left the mountain praying business and sat at home raising
Ope and Lucky’s children. She invested in them Spiritually. She even took it
further by praying for Lucky and her daughters, believing that it was not too
late for them despite their ages.
God, being Merciful worked on her daughters’ marriages and on Lucky’s
salvation.
Lucky became genuinely born again, and he devoted his musical experience
towards making Sheryl a Celebrity for God.
At 24, Sheryl had become a household name, doing the opposite of what her
mother did during her lifetime.
Lucky later got married to a widow, and they lived happily ever after.
Oba, become a popular Christian in Politics, which explained why his party
was voted for by most Christians when he was nominated to be the Vice
President candidate for his party.
After Oba had escaped death, his orientation changed, instead of waiting for
the government to do things for the populace, he spearheaded public projects
by himself. With the money God had blessed him with, he did mini road
constructions in his locality, he motivated wealthy citizens to sponsor
poverty alleviation programs for the less privileged. He bought free textbooks

for public school pupils. He bought Buses and made it a FREE public school
bus for the less privileged children.
When he was nominated as the Vice President candidate for his party,
Heaven and earth rose up to make sure he became Vice president.
He served as Vice President for 8 years and President for Another 8 years
serving the populace with all of his heart and mind.
Ola drew many to Christ through his exemplary leadership. He was loved by
all, including the citizens who were of the other faith.
