Encounter with a 115 years old dying grand mun
By Wale Ojo Lanre
Is this Eye Oluru her last prayer and blessing ?
Iya Oluru , my grandmother who is 115 years old ( calculation by date ) sent for me today .We got to Usi -Ekiti , Nigeria at 11: 48 am
I was shocked to see her decked down . Half paralysed but still has her memory intact and seeing clearly .
As we exchanged pleasantries with Mama Wale , Anty Lara and others , Yeye said
"Ora Remi , katijo " How are you Remi Oladoye , long time "
I went to kiss her on the bed where she laid .
"Okun Wale , mo ti nlo le . Me lo sodo Olodumare oba ko dami "
" Wale , I am about going to see my creator in heaven "
"Okun Eye mi Oluru .Okun Eye Omo "
( God bless you mnice Eye Oluru . Wonderful mother "
Mi kihan pe o ha ki mi si ku , mo fe ba e soro
( I sent for you because i have to discuss with you "
And then ........
She prayed for me and told me that she would be going to haven
She burst to a Catholic song " Olubukun ni Oluwa Ibukun ayo ni mo gba . Oluwa ti funmi lakara lati orun wa . O ti fi ounje iye sokan '
We all sang this song together ( video recorded)
"I can still use the right hand but having difficulty at using this left . but I am ok . Your mother and Lara have been exceptionally nice . I am proud of you all . You have ensured my well being here on Earth . God will bless you all "
She then sequentially revealed how she wanted her burial to be .
" I owe nobody . Some people are owing me . But do not take it back . Gbogbo won oniyan mi ni nahin a.I thank God for blessing me with good health throughout my life . "
She then put hand on my head and prayed fervently for me
"E si ewu fun hin. Kete re ni mo ti ru "
I wept .
So is Eye Oluru going to die ?
Is this a departure prayer ?
" hin mosukun . Kolorun ba ti si gate . Ki hin ayo "
Aye kete rin a dara . hin mo ja o "
"Don't weep . Don't sob . If God calls now . Be happy . It is well with you all "
Okun O yeye
kindly help pray for her .
She is so lovely and affectionate
