As a child, I found two pieces of chicken eggs and I wanted so desperately for it to hatch but the mother was nowhere to be found. So I thought I could incubate it myself. I poured sand into a frying pan, kept the eggs inside and put the pan on fire and set it on low heat. https://t.co/zn0aPr3lnT

When I was 7, my sister pranked me by saying she was really my mother and that my real name was Solo Makinde. My entire family went along with it for WEEKS, and I cried the entire time because I desperately didn’t want my name to be Solo Makinde. https://t.co/tKljKnIhLT

Drink responsibly!

Let me add this; I was beaten because I refused to drink the Palm oil at first, I kept on crying for milk even though I was dying 😭😭😭

Good thing the Kerosene gave me the ability to make fire songs.

Children are… wise?

Contemplated running away from home. Confided in a friend and he advised I find shelter under one of the bridges in lagos. It was then I realized that where I living was not bad.

Brothers and sisters, my mouth cannot say what I went through. My mum sure abandoned the necklace for me evn while I protested I was joking.
She and my dad now teamed up to make me “confess” where my powers are from.
Who sent me?
How soon before I release them.
