One of my bosses when I started my career was a big TV celebrity and one day, we woke up in the morning and a magazine had put on the cover that she was dating the Vice President at the time. Now I knew for a fact that she didn’t know him, but this magazine reported it as fact. That was my first lesson that when people say ‘There is no smoke without fire’, they don’t know what they’re talking about. There are plenty smokes without any fire. One of the fascinating things when I was working in politics was people would say things about the people I was working with, with such confidence, things that I knew for a fact were untrue. I had a member of my team one time that was connected to someone high up in office and then someone leaked that the way she got the job was that, ‘this one is a pastor, and this is a pastor, so this one called Chude and said hire…’ it was the most ridiculous story. I can not also forget spending a weekend here with President Jonathan at the Villa and I was with him when he received news from INEC that that election was going to be postponed and then we were doing an interview, and I saw it unless he’s a great actor of which he can be, and the next day I heard people saying, ‘Oh, Jonathan is the one that is trying to rig the election because he is trying to get INEC to postpone the election’ and I was like… Wa-Wu! Because I was there. So all these experiences whether it’s celebrity whether it’s personal, whether it’s government, have taught me one thing: There is smoke without fire. “Therefore, when I hear blogs confidently say somethings; the confidence doesn’t relate to the possibility of truth. When they say, ‘if you know, you know’ it’s a lie, many of them don’t know. When they say, ‘I know for a fact’, it’s a lie, many of them don’t know for a fact. I have seen people plan their lives based on rumors. I have seen people make judgments about other people based on stories. It can be a mistake to treat public gist as fact. To pollute your own system by assuming the worst of people because of what other people say about them. And to assume because something is in the public is true and even worse, to plan your own life, career, financial choices, friend choices, reputational choices, intimate choices based on what people in the public say about other people or other things. We can’t always confirm all the information we get in the world but we can at least suspend judgement until we know, at least, to a certain degree. -- Chude Jideonwo #WithChude #MindHeartSpirit #LetsBeHumanTogether

I conclude here. 😊 When I hear songs like this which are typical of Cele, my soul opens up and soars high, like, very high. The music of African Instituted Churches (C&S, CAC, ECWA, CCC, etc) so deep, stirring the spirit. My spirit vibrates, high, and it is in tears I express it physically. Which explains why I cried all through the hymns time that day I was in Ketu. @kent_edunjobi you understand me now? Nothing was wrong with me o, it's a spiri-spiri matter! 😊😇 A language that cannot be spoken but clearly heard...! I hear and see things of light as I get soaked in this kind of music. Secrets are revealed to me of the real me within me and it helps to navigate my journey aright and walk my path upright. Of course, in honor of GOD, The Almighty, Source of all! To this home, I will forever connect! Can I ever lose that connection to this home? I doubt it. That music, that movement, that effect! It is a year already that Baba left. The pioneer of this. The fighter for this. The visioner of this! I am sure his essence would be full of joy for this in his mansion Up there! Let there be joy! Let light accompany him still! I am always grateful that my journey took me through that home, that music, that movement, that sound! This light, that I cannot explain but envelopes me as I express this now, from the original Source of It, let It accompany him, still, whom I called Bàbá, whom I knew as Oluwole Isaac Oladejo Adetiran but whom I have deep conviction that the Divine knows as He truly is, a soul of the light! A year that Bàbá Adetiran transitioned. One year. A full year. That is the time that this beautiful song "re-surfaced" and is in our ears and hearts and faces. I am sure it is a divine orchestration to bless our atmosphere with this song at this time, Bàbá's essence fully imprinted in it... Thank you Kehinde for this song. Thank youuuuuuu! Thank youuuuuuu! Well done Apex Choir of CCC International Headquarters Ketu! Kehinde, @kent_edunjobi , ṣ'ó ngbọ́? Shine! Your world awaits your shining to The MAKER'S honor! Shine, ọmọ ìmọ́lẹ́! Shine, child of light! May courage be. May strength abound. May the channel always be pure! I miss Bàbá. 🥺 This song rubs it in, in joy though. I miss him, and my eyes are full of tears. But deep inside, I have JOY! #Yóòdáa!❤️
