// Beverly Osu turns 22 tomorrow, stuns in new photos

Beverly Osu will be 22 tomorrow and she has just released some new photos and a poem as seen below:

22 represents God; The Master Builder, The Manifestation of dreams, The Future, Realisation, Personal Power, Retribution, Love, War and a visionary.

As I turn 22 I am proficient and a strong leader. I have the potential to be successful. I will fulfil my highest potential by bringing ideals into everyday reality. I am stronger today because I turn 22. 

 

I represent an African leader, The strength of a woman.

"I am a woman. I do not like war. However, I would rather die rather than accepting your deal..."

These were the words of Empress Titus, The  ETHIOPIAN QUEEN, wife of Emperor Menelik. She is known to have wielded considerable political power. She was a key player in the dispute over the

"Treaty of Wuchale" with Italy in which the Italian version made Ethiopia an Italian protectorate.

"Wathin't a bafazi, way ithint'imbolodo ufo Kufa" (now you have touched the women), you have struck a rock, you have dislodged a boulder, you will be crushed).

I have found my strength after the BBA show..I have been down but not crushed. I am humble but not stupid. I fall, I rise. I make mistakes, I learn, I have been hurt but I'm alive. I'm human. I am 22 years old, I'm youthful. I'm a moving train, I'm BLACK DIAMOND, I'm a young African woman with the grace of God leading me. I am a working progress.

I'M BEVERLY OSU.

CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY


.... The Forbidden Fruits After that day, the boys never went to the orange tree again and the story that it was a forbidden fruit was retold and everyone believed it, even the four boys. Though they knew it was not the forbidden fruits of the Bible but Mr. Jacob's forbidden fruits. Garba was angry when he learnt that it was Bawa who had told on him. They all began to avoid Bawa. But all these had been over thirty-five years ago. They grown and become men. Garba had turned out to be the star of them all, having excelled in school and had gone to Lagos and then to England. He returned to Dongongari and settled down. Now all the boys who went to the St. Aquinas now have children. But they all still sit together on weekends and talk of the past. Mr. Jacob and the forbidden fruits was always an exciting topic and they would laugh. "Only God know where the white master is today," Sule would say with nostalgia. "Perhaps long dead and buried," Tanko would say. "But he was a terror," Bawa reminded. He had succeeded. his father as the tobacco merchant in ,Jogongan even though he was once a banker. Garba would laugh. "Come to think of it, he was a good man. The lesson of the forbidden fruits was that of obedience. We ought to have obeyed him as our elder and teacher," he said: They all agreed with him. The End ....
