Listen there are levels to this thing 💯
Last week @mikel_john_obi and I were in South Africa 🇿🇦 for the UEFA Europa League Trophy Showcase and it was really mind blowing.
It was literally the first time the Trophy touched African Soil in its 52 years of Existence and Mikel was the only one allowed to touch it because he is GOATED like that 🤪🤪

My beautiful mother,
It’s been two days since you left me, and I still can’t make sense of it. It’s strange how you gave birth to me on the 22nd and also left me on the 22nd. Where are those people who say time heals all wounds? How much time are we really talking about? Because if anything, the pain feels heavier, not lighter.
I’ve been struggling to write about you in past tense. It feels wrong but I’m trying to find the strength because I was told you haven’t visited me in my sleep because I haven’t let go. They say I need to be at peace for you to come. I’ve tried, mummy. I’ve tried crying, starving, not sleeping, and so many other ways of grieving hoping that somehow I’d find that peace and finally be ready to see you in my dreams. But none of it is working.
I miss you. I miss you so, so much. Everything we ever fought about means absolutely nothing to me now, none of it matters. I would give anything, absolutely everything, just to have you back here with me.
Thank you for the heart you had. Perhaps if you had moved closer to God, you would have been His servant, because you lived a life of service. You gave so much of yourself that it hurt. People say you shouldn’t dim your light for others, but you, you turned yours off completely so others could shine. You were an angel, mummy, and the testimonies from everyone whose life you touched confirm it.
Thank you for not letting us carry the guilt of that decision forever. Even when they said your organs had shut down, your motherly instincts were still so strong. You heard our deliberations. You understood what that guilt would do to us. And instead of letting us live with it, you played your final motherly role even while you were dying.
I can’t stop hearing the doctor’s voice announcing your time of death. You chose to exit on your own, mummy. And in that moment, I realized just how blessed I am to have been born of a loving mother with a heart as big as yours.
I love you. I miss you every single day. Rest in the bosom of your Maker or better still, join your fellow angels and do what angels do. This world never truly deserved you. You belong with the angels. 🕊️💔💔💔💔
Is there a Nigerian series without amala? Whether the weather is hot or not, we’re always good to go 😌
I asked my boo @phadekemi of Lagurzzz for an amala spot with proper Naija/local vibes and she came through 💯
@akankealamala was a perfect mix of nostalgic music, good vibes, and seriously tasty food. The food was hitting gan gan, vibes were on point, zero complaints.It was a such a warm, welcoming space.

Today, I don’t just celebrate my birth, I honor 37 years of battles fought, tears shed, lessons learned, and the quiet strength that carried me through it all. Happy Birthday Oluwafadekemi 👑 👗 @itekish
