               with my long weeve,heels n nails I carry,clean n change them so excitedly.
               I wake up at 3am or anytime to check on them at d sound of a sneeze just to be sure they are fine.
               my heart aches at d thot of leaving them,their laughter and smile makes my life worth it.
               I pray everyday for their sadness,tears,failures and shame to be mine to bear while all my                                      success,happiness,smiles and honour be theirs to enjoy.
               I sacrifice everything happily for them….and lots more.

               2 Don Jazzy

               Mavin boss shared a photo of his ageless mother and wrote; ‘Behold the sweetest mother in the world.                  People ask me why do I carry people’s problem on my head and try to make everyone happy. Might be                  strange to a lot of people but not me cos growing up watching you be a mother to everybody around                    you was a beautiful sight. You will sell Akara and sometimes not make profit cos you have fed the entire                street for free. You made me understand that a good name is definitely better than silver or gold. You                    made me see the importance in sharing happiness. How it’s better for everyone to be happy around you                than for you to be happy alone. All of which has made me the man I am today. I LOVE YOU MUM.                        Happy Mother’s Day. ’
