We share the same father but have different mothers. 26 years ago, my step brother lost his mom when he was just 4. Later, my dad married my mom, who was already pregnant for him.

Growing up, I saw my mom treat my stepbrother unfairly. She made him do chores & wouldn’t let me help. Sometimes, she wouldn’t give him food for days. I felt sorry for him, but I couldn’t do anything.

Despite my mom’s attempts to separate us, my stepbrother & I remained close. We shared a strong bond. After our dad passed away, my mom moved to another town with me. My stepbrother went to live with our grandma.

Due to financial difficulties. Grandma took my stepbrother to the community revern father in which he helped sponsored his education. And my Step-brother later got a scholarship to study & work abroad.

Years later, we reconnected on social media. And He asked me to build a house for him, & I worked hard to complete it. He sent money for the project, & I made sure to do my very best. It took months, but I finally finished the project two weeks ago & sent him pictures & videos

Then, he sent more money & asked me to furnish the house & buy a comfortable car for him because he’ll be coming into the country to spend Christmas holiday. I did as he asked. But then, something amazing happened.

I woke up this morning to a message from my brother. Saying that the house & car were not for him, but for me! He said it’s a Christmas gift from him to me & that i should enjoy with my family. I still can’t believe it. I’ve never owned a house or a car before. I’m overwhelmed with emotion, I don’t know how to thank him.

I’ve been crying & screaming with joy. My voice is gone. My stepbrother’s kindness has changed my life forever. I can’t believe I’m now a house & a car owner. Over night, I’m now a rich man.. oh my beloved brother. This is too much for me all in one day . How can i ever thank you enough. I’m speechless”

I’ve come to understand in life that some people are like a fishbone tightly wedged in the throat. You can’t swallow them, and you can’t also find it easy to spit them out. The best you can do for yourself is to damn them completely. And Speed Darlington seems to be in this category.

Literally speaking, Speed Darlington did what musicians do. When artistes want to make musics, they look around and create controversies with bigger artistes to market their crafts. 

You don’t go about arresting your fellow artistes because they dissed you. You respond to them through musics, and the fun of such responses keeps you on the radar of relevance.

Phyno did it when Hushpuppy called him a cheap guy who rocks fake wears. He responded Hushpuppy by jumping on Timaya’s “TELLI PERSON” where he dissed Hushpuppy and called him a baller with no known job.

In fact, Shatta Wale’s hit track – ON GOD, was inspired by the feud between him and Burna Boy. Burna Boy called him a puppy rapîst, in response, Shatta Wale dropped the all time best selling single – ON GOD, which blew his career up.

Burna Boy should come off that route he’s going and hit the studio if what Akpi said got him provoked. This is Aftrobeat territory, not hip-hop territory where artistes reply their fellow artistes with guns and bullets.

The surgery was supposed to happen in Idia. Money wasn’t an issue but we had no help, not even in his family, everyone  semed scared, no one willing to donate their kd-ny. Days were passing his situation getting worse.

I couldn’t stand watch something bad happen to my husband. I reached a point where I started thinking ; ‘what if both of us died here in India’ who then will care of our 4 kids! I thought this was the end of me Seeing my husband. At some point i even visualized myself as a widow, i couldn’t handle the imagination. so i decided to take the risk.

I never gave up on my decision but instead drew my strength in prayer. i did it for him & for the children. I did it for the love i have for my family and also to fulfill my wedding vows. Today we are here again as one big family
I thank God it all went successfully, please, help us thank God for saving us.
