The best gift you can give your child isn’t more toys.
Not a bigger house.
Not even the best school.
It’s a sibling.
Someone who comes from the same place you do.
Someone who remembers the same kitchen smells, the same family stories, the same hard days when things weren’t easy.
One day, when parents are no longer around, siblings are still there.
They carry the memories.
They remember your childhood with you.
They know who you were before the world got to you.
A sibling teaches things no book ever will.
How to share without being asked.
How to forgive and move on.
How to stand up for someone just because they’re yours.
In a world that pushes people to be “independent” and alone, siblings quietly save children from loneliness.
They fight. They compete. They drift apart at times.
But when life hits hard, they almost always find their way back to each other.
Money comes and goes.
Status fades.
Friends change with time.
But a sibling stays.
Messy. Imperfect. Real.
And deeply precious.
Give your child a brother or a sister.
You’re not splitting love.
You’re giving them more of it.
My dream is to get our Tapiokies Cassava biscuits to all Mallam Shops and also the busy traffic where it will be hawked.
I want the world to taste the deliciousness we made with Cassava and it will happen someday 👌🏾
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of Damilola Balogun on the 1st of January 2026 😢
Damilola was a loving wife, a devoted mother, and the main applicant for her family on skilled worker visa.
Just five months ago, she welcomed her beautiful baby into the world. What should have been a time of joy soon turned into a painful and tragic journey no family should endure.
It all started when Damilola began complaining of severe migraines. She visited Walsall Manor Hospital, where she was treated and discharged. Three days later, she returned with the same symptoms, but no cause was found and she was sent home again. Two weeks later, the headaches persisted, and this time she was admitted. Doctors administered antibiotics and carried out an MRI scan and a lumbar puncture.
The results revealed water on her brain, and Damilola was urgently referred to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, for surgery. The surgery was initially successful, and there was hope.
Tragically, three days later, Damilola went into a coma and was placed on life support. Despite all medical efforts and prayers, it was confirmed that she could not recover. On the morning of 1st January 2026, the life support machine was switched off.
While others were welcoming the first day of a new year in celebration, this family was plunged into unbearable grief.
Damilola leaves behind three children aged 11 years, 10 years, and a 5month old baby, her husband, her mother and grandmother.
Since this ordeal began, her husband has been unable to work, staying by her side throughout hospital admissions and recovery attempts. Their savings have been completely exhausted, and the family is now facing funeral costs and the immense responsibility of raising three children without their mother.
We are humbly asking for your support; no amount is too small. Your donation will help:
•Cover funeral and burial expenses
•Provide immediate support for her children
•Ease the financial burden on the grieving family
Please consider donating and sharing this page. Let us come together to show this family that they are not alone during their darkest moment.
Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and generosity. 🙏
