Let me start this piece with prayer— May your wealth never be the source of your end.
May you never be drowned by your knowledge, and I pray your power and skill will not kill you.
Let’s talk about the Titanic Tour Submarine that sank five tourists who paid thousands of dollars just to see a ship wrecked a series of decades of years before all the tourists were given lives. Yoruba called this situation, “Olówó fowó ra ikú.” With his own wealth; he bought his own death– the rich brought end to his own life.
What do I know?
I must say, we have gotten to a stage where humanity has degraded to a level beyond zero. We have chosen to find fun in destruction over helping others. Imagine how many refugees a million dollars will save and cater for. Just imagine paying that huge amount just for death.
But I ask again, what do I know?
The world is about to get to a stage where people will die on the street and won’t see anyone cater to them when they are in their zeros. Can you imagine paying millions of Naira to die? Confused?
Find somewhere to sit, and find a seat somewhere as I unravel the full gist.
Do you remember the Titanic ship that sank over 111 years ago? We can all remember, right? Maybe many of us saw it in movies.
The point is that we are all aware that a ship sank in the Atlantic Ocean several decades ago. Which ended many people. Recently, scientists just came on board overnight to tell us they have found the remains of the sank gigantic ship. Like a dream, a mini-submarine was invented, the illusion of which to travel down the Atlantic Ocean to the depth where the Titanic ship sank and the tour was titled, “The Titanic submarine Tour.” This was meant to be a five-man tourist trip, and the submarine was to be controlled by a wireless pad. Is that not funny? Not ended there, the oxygen capacity of the submarine is three hours, but the bloody journey is a six hours trip. To cut the story short, they sank and died.
The biggest coincidence is that they sank exactly where the Titanic ship sank, but that’s not even the question. The question is, has thy kingdom come, just like the Oluwaloseyi; Godsent crooner “Seyi Vibes” titled his new EP “Thy kingdom come.”
Is this not wowing? Well, what do I know?
