Yesterday, we crossed the N100m mark almost without breaking a sweat
We are looking for N170m to execute our two major plays this August in London
Wait, it’s not finished o. I bought two Mini Coopers within the same period and would be sending my last two kids abroad this September, making 5 kids schooling internationally
All these with no job. As I grow older, I am beginning to see some unseen hands in my affairs
I started very religiously and rebelled, and have not attended Church in the real sense of the word for about 10 years
My father left a small ministry, and my brother took over as GO and is running it with my sister and her husband and the church is growing
I am the Chairman of the BOT, which is purely oversight, and which makes me go there once there is food to eat
But somehow, I am being met with phenomenal grace
Let me give you a story. I walked into Gabriel Ogbechie’s party and saw a Bank MD and made a beeline towards him.
Duke, how are you? He says, and we talk, and he says- I hear you’re going to London, and I say Yes, but you have never supported me, and he laughed, see me tomorrow
That was it. Why did I walk to him? I walked to so many people that night, why was he the only one to ask to see me after?
Seeing the figures last night got me thinking deeply about my life and its purpose
Why am I not rich, I asked myself? Why am i not bothered that I cant save and not really interested in growing wealth
I have the capacity, network and sagacity to grow phenomenal wealth but why am I not interested
Should I be worried? Yes I shd be cos my old age as they say would be one kind if I don’t plan
But this write up is not about that but to talk about what I think is happening in the present
I have not hit a billion Naira and may not even hit it in my lifetime but my level of contentment is even amazing me
I am HAPPY. God im fucking Happy and I show it
I live my happiness, I dance my happiness and i try to infect people with my happiness
In a discussion this morning with a counterparty on my masterclass, she mentioned – Duke, this is just the half of the year oo
Yes, this half, I have done two major plays – Dora and Kokoro (N75m), raised enough money to take two major plays to the UK, started growing my Barnaby&Edgar (just officially engaged Purple), and have bought more clothes and shoes than I did last year and have done one more Tatoo
Kai, I feel bloated with excitement and in all of these, I see an unseen hand that just directs me as I move
This orphan is blessed and guess what, he doesn’t really give a fuck if he wakes up tomorrow morning with no food to eat as long as the grace is still with him, he is fine
I think the reason for my joy and blessings are the widows
The way widows bless me with prayers ehn
One walked up to me at my fathers church – Duke it was your birthday shower that I used to start my business. Wow.
I raised N6m for widows last year and gave each N500k and this was her saying that that was the money she used to start her business
Then I gave the group N200k to share and the next day, N1m hit me
Its grace and I see it in my life. Its not abt the marketing skill or the gift of the garb, its God oooi
Someone shd come and beat me o
Kai
Duke of Shomolu
