ALPHABET "🅾️"

ALPHABET "🅾️"

...its very easy for the letter 'O' to destroy and reshape one's life.

In all the Yoruba alphabet I so much fear letter 'O' because its very easy for the letter 'O' to destroy and reshape one's life.

The first '🅾️' is Obi (Parents). One can be wealthy through parental blessings and some youth have contacted curse through their parents, it's only God Almighty that can cure them through prayers and seeking for forgiveness. Adura Obi wa agba ni ori wa ni oruko Jesus.

The second '🅾️' is Obinrin (woman), one can be wealthy and become someone in life through women and one can as well be redundant if care is not taken. My brother there's no gain neither no achievements in womanising. So ra fun Obinrin.

The third '🅾️' is Owo (money), if you have enough money people will hail you, recognize you and become your friends, but listen most youth have met their untimely death running after money (to get by all mist). Too much excess of looking for money will make one's commit crime and it kills.

The fourth '🅾️ is Omi (water), water is for bathing, drinking and as well use for others important needs, you can't fight water but there are some being that cab harbour evil for one through water.  Omi aye o ni gbe walo. Ase odumare.

The fifth '🅾️' is Ogun (battle), if one is being afflicted with challenges people will say one has problem but there are some nations that fought battles and won in which things turn out well for them. Ogun aye o ni ja awa ati idile wa ni oruko Jesus.

We're all learner in life nobody is 100% percent perfect except God Almighty, do your own and leave the rest for God to judge. Remember, what you sow is what you will reap, always endeavour to contribute meaningful to humanity development. Life Laughs At Us When We Are Unhappy, Life Smiles At Us When We Are Happy, But Life Salutes Us When We Make Others Happy.
