While some may argue on the veracity of an overnight silver spoon, others might indicate an indifferent opinion while some more might just resign their conclusion to fate and destiny.

Be that as it may, believe it or not, call it an "arangee" or give a different dimension, one thing is clear and very certain and that remains the proverbial saying which goes " in anything thou hand fineth, do it well with pride and dignity.
No doubt, hard work might seems difficult requiring determination and more determination, requiring painstaking efforts and long term suffering, yet the gains far much more outweighs the pains when glory comes knocking at the door.
Well, not too many might be familiar with the name OLAJUMOKE ORISAGUNA, but fate had given her a lifeline that she be known after a split second unplanned "WAKA PASS" on a photo shoot session set by TY Bello.
Though, she wasn't part of the arrangement ab -initio, but like they say "Destiny, once stamped, cannot be erased". That was how the success story of an Olajumoke an agege bread seller turns from been a zero entity to that of an hero sitting at the peak of mount olympian.
Anyway, for those who might be salivating on how this acclaimed fictional story became a reality tale, here is the very short fairytale turned reality capable of wining an Oscar;
An English rapper tineh timpa recently flew in from London and was billed for a photo shoot session with one of Nigeria's sensational photographer cum singer ty bello.
Tineh timpa who chose the raw dialogue of the streets for a photo shoot set instead of the beautiful scenery of a preferred location or better still some encased studio never knew what the future holds for an unknown agege bread seller who works from 2:00pm - 10:00pm making just 300-400 as daily profits depending on sales.
The catch: Subsequently, in one of their photo shoot session,the show began as usual, but then, before anybody could say jack robison, an Olajumoke the agege bread seller suddenly photo crashed on their set unknown to her.
The Drama: While she stood dazed, fazed and deluded on realising the enormity of her crime, chants from outside and walls kept banging on her saying " leave dia jare wit ya bread, abi uno get eye", others be like" which kain bush girl b dis sef wey no dey see" The Nigeria case, no surprises though).
The Real Moments: Well, on realising this, what many failed to see, ty bello could see with her periscopic and visionary eye as a blessed and astute professional. Without much ado, ty flickered on an Olajumoke if it was okay to take her picture. A confused jumoke gave her a go and immediately she pressed her shutter.
The Peak Moments: hmm! Well! That was how she got her pix, did some editing and boom did an upload of the scene with the bread steadied on the fore pages of her head. *sigh* The peak moment came eventually minutes after the upload fans and folks started asking the undeniable fact. According to ty " who is she? Everyone has been asking if she is a model, how did you get a model balanced all those load of bread on head ... it was just a perfect coincidence" she wrote on her instagram page.
The Glory: Well, the glory moment became so near when ty took to her trail as the search party for Olajumoke became a course. According to ty, "if everybody thinks she was a model, then, she definitely was made for it" . Hmm! Have you seen this girl, the breadseller became the search pattern with a vivid description.
The hight of Grace and destiny: The search which eventually paid off, got an Olajumoke the breadseller a studio moments, after much attention from experts, ty again did what she knows how to do best as she again pressed those shutter of hers with her dazzling hands of change. Got Olajumoke do some poses and from there Grace and destiny meet eye balls to eyeballs. Well! The rest is history as Olajumoke the bread seller for seven years now, mother of two earned herself a modelling contract from topnotch agencies, became a covergirl for the coveted ThisDay cover style, got several reels of endorsement from notable brands, became an internet sensation, turned the beautiful pride of all, won herself notable interviews from both national and international media outfit and above all, made an overnight Name for herself. Oh! Olajumoke! What has destiny and grace done to you.
Lesson: The above story has shown to all those who still care to listen that no condition is permanent, as the supreme being sees us all.
Secondly, it teaches however, that there is dignity in labour, and besides anything thou hand fineth, do it with pride.
Thirdly, nobody is a monoply of success as getting to the top is an equal chance of opportunity irrespective of status, colour, race or creed.
Lastly, the supreme being remains an oracle who smiles only on those who remains deligent, determined, hardworking and fervent in her struggle ond works.
Oh Olajumoke! You have met the requirements to success.
Moral bits: if only we could pay more attention to all those around us painstakingly, then many more Olajumoke's may just be discovered in a Ty fashion.
