Hmm,

Gbajumo.

The presence of the crown speaks royalty,

Beads are used by the chiefs,

People are often addressed by the way they dress.

Hmm,

In ancient times:

If a person is known by all and he’s neither of the royal lineage, a chief,

nor is he a great warrior,

Such person is a person of prestige.

A wise individual,

A humble person,

A person worth to be celebrated.

Gbajumo is a well respected person.

A person known by the masses,

A well know person across globe,

An important individual.

Known by family and friends,

Also recognised by those he has no knowledge of.

Royalty acknowledges his presence.

Known vast and wide for his craft

there are a lot of Gbajumo.

She’s as beautiful as beauty can be
defined,

Gentle as inland stream,

Beauty and good character enclosed within an individual,

A flawless craft of Creation.

Beauty can be categorized,

Yet her kind of beauty is unique,

A cosmetic beauty has no hold on a natural one.

A beauty casted down from the Heavens,

Beauty and character:

These are what defines an individual.

Character itself is what defines Gbajumo.

Gbajumo is beautiful,

A beauty that glows without make up,

A beauty that can’t go
unnoticed

his calmness makes him different from his peers.

You might have seen masquerade,

beautiful festivities,

Even events that put you in awe,

These are nothing compared to the glorious sight of a
Gbajumo

Hmm,

Y’all should gather around,

Gbajumo.

The beautiful gracious strides of a pageant;

Swaying from left to right,

Haters call it pride.

Once he steps out,

Compliments are sent from left,

Greetings are heard from the right.

The people care for him like a fragile artwork.

In a yoruba  adage:
Gbajumo gets all he searches and aims for

after earning his name.

His character distinguishes him from his namesakes.

Both the workers and the priviledged show their love,

He gives alms to the needy,

He helps others who are struggling.

Hmm.

His wealth never diminishes,

Her beauty keeps away sickness and bad energy,

The wealth remains irrespective of how much is given,

Wealth is prestige,

Wealth is influence.

All virtues are found with them always.

Character is the only thing that we will get buried with us
all in the end,

Without character,

There will be no morals,

Gbajumo will cease to exist,

There’s no lie to be told when the
truth is obvious,

A good name is always accompanied with great character.
