OMO DAROSHA:
PACKAGING WITHOUT SUBSTANCE?
NOT THIS ONE O! 😄💧If you grew up in a Nigerian home, you already know this line very well:👉 “You this child ehn… stop behaving like omo Darosha! ”Translation: You have finished everything, there is no money, but you’re still doing shakara like Dangote’s cousin. Ironically, the real Darosha is somewhere in heaven saying: “Please remove my name from this slander. ”Because Chief Candido João Da Rocha was not a waster. He was a strategist.THIS DAROSHA DID NOT PLAY WITH DESTINY. While some people were praying for money and refusing to work, Darosha was busy solving problems. Lagos Island people were thirsty. Others were complaining. Darosha said: “Where is my borehole? ”Boom 💥Water started flowing. Money followed water. That’s how he became the first water millionaire. Not first prayer warrior. Not first motivational speaker. First solution provider.📖 “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings.”— Proverbs 22:29. No be motivational quote. Na instruction.
OMO DAROSHA ≠ PRODIGAL SON
The Bible gave us the Prodigal Son. Collected inheritance.Bought champagne for people that don’t know his surname.Finished money. Ended up with pigs. 🐖Darosha?❌ No pigs❌ No broke story❌ No motivational apology. He invested. He lent money. He bought property. He enjoyed life with sense. Yes, he even sent dirty clothes to Britain for washing. But notice — he still had money left.📖 “The blessing of the Lord maketh rich and adds no sorrow.”— Proverbs 10:22. Some people enjoy today and cry tomorrow. Darosha enjoyed today and tomorrow. DESTINY DOES NOT ANSWER PEOPLE THAT DON’T MOVE. Darosha heard the story of his lineage and said:“I must go and establish myself.”He moved back to Lagos. Same thing God told the children of Israel:“Leave Egypt, go to your land flowing with milk and honey.”But God didn’t say it would be easy. Destiny requires:• movement• courage• sometimes spiritual boxing 🥊📖 “Write the vision and make it plain…”— Habakkuk 2:2.You cannot stay in one place shouting “God when? ”At some point, you must move your legs. EVEN JESUS DID NOT DO LIFE SOLO. Darosha had workers.He had partners. He had helpers. Because no man is an island — even Island has bridge.📖 “And Jesus found favour with God and man.”— Luke 2:52. First God.Then man. Anybody that says “I don’t need anybody” will soon need somebody.
FINAL LESSON (VERY IMPORTANT 🚨).Dear Christian, Stop using omo Darosha to describe wastefulness.The real lesson is this:• Stop packaging without purpose• Stop spending to impress• Start building legacy• Start solving problems. And most importantly:👉 What are you doing for Jesus? Money is good. Impact is better. Heaven is the goal.📖 “Let your light so shine before men…”— Matthew 5:16. May we not live like the prodigal sons when God is calling us to be wise kingdom builders.Amen 🙏😂
