My Almighty Daddy of all daddies told me that I should stop trying to be spiritual, because He created me a spiritual being He has chosen me for His purpose for His glory and glory alone. And He will never share His glory with anyone or anything else. And that is ad finitum and I am ad finem fidelis.
I was before just a highly gifted Nigerian prodigy of fine arts and literature who won the first prize in a national essay competition for secondary schools at 13, directed my first play at 17 at the National Museum in Lagos, became a professional TV script writer for Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Channel 10 at 18; the only Nigerian illustrator exhibited at two international children's books fairs when I was only 20, the youngest particpant whilst the oldest was an old professor of about 90 years. Public health illustrator for the Johns Hopkins University's Population Communication Services (JHU/PCS) at 21 and a national Program Consultant for Child Survival and Development at the UNICEF in Nigeria at 25, when my first book, "Children of Heaven" was published and made the news on NTA, Radio Nigeria, The Guardian and The Punch. The book launch totally sponsored by me was held at the prestigious Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA) on Victoria Island, Lagos.
My artworks have been exhibited and sold and I have curated a national exhibition at the National Museum and National Arts Theatre when I was only 30.
Then I abandoned all to become an evangelist on the streets and public transport buses in Lagos for 11 years. My seven unpublished novels, several plays and best artworks were either thrown away or lost in transit.
Fast forward to 2005, I started The Rhema Blog and other blogs; in 2006 I became one of the most popular online writers and journalists in the world and the only Nigerian screener of entries for the highly coveted Online Journalism Awards, screening entries from CNN and other major news channels. I started publishing my new books and recognised as one of the top new Nigerian writers by the Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA). I started publishing the NOLLYWOOD MIRROR®Series, the first book series on the Nigerian film industry; started developing the iPost Nigeria mobile video app, rated as more advanced than YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and others; recognised as a champion of the education of underprivileged girls in Nigeria and
achieved other outstanding things.
Then suddenly at the moment, I am recognised as among the popular writers on blockchain and cryptocurrency in the world.
How did all these things happen to me? They are absolutely the handwork of Almighty God JEHOVAH who has wired and rewired me to perfect everything concerning me for the manifestations of His glory in my beautiful and wonderful life.
HALLELUJAH!
