It's My birthday-15th of July
A boy had just been born all alone by his mother.Although his dad had been called upon to call the mid wife when it was realized that it was the delivery time.In those days there were no health centres as we have it now. It was on the 15th of July, five years after the immediate past OONI OF IFE, Oba Okunade Sijuwade Osun State in Nigeria, the country with the largest population in Africa ascend to the throne of his fathers that this boy's mom was put to bed. It was shortly after his dad had gone to the mission's clinic that his mum fell into labour. According to the testimony, it didn't took long for his mom to release and push out the bundle of joy out of her womb. After the conception she was still very strong and agile that she rose up and begin to clean up all the mess associated with the delivery. The baby had been cleaned, wrapped up with a swaddling clothe, the room floor had been mopped.It was a surprise for everyone who heard it later that day.
Meanwhile the little boy's mom had put the new human being on one of the sofas in the sitting room. Finally, the family head walks in with the mid wife feeling exhausted. He didn't waste time standing, he opted to sit on one of the sofas while the mid wife was heading towards the pregnant woman but have delivered unknowingly to them. Mother shouted from the inside of the room when she saw her husband lowering down his buttock on her newly born baby. Baby!baby!baby! she shouted on top of her voice.My dad by this time would have been a baby killer.But all thanks to God for the miracle that happened that day. Little did the mid wife knew that his client had given birth all alone by herself.
"That's what had always been the reason for my song...To God be the glory.....why I escaped that death is still a mirage till today", said the the little boy.
Now who is to blame. No one. God wouldn't allow such.There i was nothing like it's unfortunate,we lost him. No bad news.All glory to God.The baby had his name -Olumuyiwa(meaning the Lord brought him). Although that wasn't the very reason why the baby was given the name but one of the reasons.
The major reason why the baby was given the name he bears was because the doctor had informed the mother never to have another baby again or else she will die. This statement was issued because the mother had serious trouble with the previous pregnancy. It nearly took her life away. What was done to the mother is not disclosed to anyone till today. But people believed that it was a miracle and that it was God who brought the boy to the family.
Later,after many years it dawned on the boy who is now a man the reason he was given that name. Yet he hasn't assume his full potentials.That boy is the man writing his story. It is the story surrounding my birth.
Happy Birthday to Me
