Different gifts, different callings

Kirk Franklin o ni ogo ju mi lo, ogo wa kan yato ni.
Nkan ti mo le se, ko le se. Nkan ti ohun naa de le se, emi naa o le se.

Bo se gba award to yen, ti won ba pe ko wa k'orin isoji, walahi awon enia ma sun ni. Ti won ba de pe emi naa ki nwa ko 'Yur-Yur Gospel', o likely ki n fumble.

So if you have a music concert and you cannot afford Kirk Franklin's charges, e wa wo wipe afterall won o ti nominate mi fun BET award ri but i'm equally a good singer, and you can just put £50 inside envelope to invite me to perform like Kirk, eyin gangan le f'owo ara yin ba concert yin je o.

There's every likelihood that i won't turn up because ogo ti mo ni ju £50 lo, but if at all i honour the invite (maybe after meeting my demands), i'll only perform to my strength and not to Kirk's.

Ti e ba wa nmu note after notes wa ba mi lori stage tabi ti e nran awon protocols si mi, on what you want me to do, ma ma ya awon notes yen ni, mo de ma ma le awon protocols yin danu.

Samuel was a prophet, ohun lo ye ko rubo. The moment you are urging Saul to carry out the role of Samuel, e fe fa ijoba e ya niyen. Emi o de ni gba ki anybody fa ijoba mi ya.

So if Kirk can be paid thousand of dollars and lodged in a 5-star hotel, for a 10-minute performance, why can't i be given the same treatment? Can he sing to raise the dead? Is it because i don't have as many awards? Is it because i don't put on lipstick or eye shadow? Is it because i sing in a different language?

We should learn to respect and celebrate individual's gifts and callings.
Gbogbo wa la ni ogo, sugbon enia nw'oju, Olorun lo nwo okan.
