Olawunmi Osinroluke- Euba is a lawyer, politician and a textile business woman, who recently marked her birthday and thanksgiving service at the Celestial Church on Friday, February 26, 2021, at Oniyanrin area of Abeokuta, Ogun State Capital.
In this short interview with The News Ville, Barr. Euba bears it all, stating how she miraculous cheated death last year from complicating medical conditions.
TNV: Can we meet you please?
Ans: My name is Barr. Olawunmi Osinroluke Euba. I am a lawyer, a politician and I sell lace materials in Lagos for a living.
TNV: What is happening here today?
Ans: I am celebrating my birthday and am also thanking God for sparing my life last year, it was a thunderous year for me. Last year, I had alot of medical challenges, it was so serious that I never knew I could make today.
I had blood clot issues. We actually thought it was a stroke. But when we got to the hospital, we found out that it was a different arm and a different leg and stroke doesn’t operate that way. So, we found out that it was blood clot. And that was what I was nursing for close to a year!. I just came back from my medical checkup in England in January. So it has been on and off like that, but I am thanking God today because I know that I have a clean bill of health. So, you can say that I cheated death, and I cheated him nicely!. I think it was just God. Because when I went to bed at night, I always told my nurse to dress well for me, incase I don’t make it in the morning and I always tell them to take my pictures as I am and send it to my kids. But God kept on sending people to me that am not dieing this time around and that I should forget about death and it’s not going to happen. You know, those people are advising me, they are praying for me but I am the one with the sick body that is under the threaths. So how I feel, you can never know unless you are in my shoes. I felt close to death, I saw death coming!
TNV: Apart from the church celebration, what other activities did you used to mark your birthday?
Ans: My birthday was actually the 19th February. So, last week we went to the Motherless babies home, we had fun. My kids were also around and so it was fun. You just see that everybody in life, we are just opportune to be where we are today. If you are living and you have parents to look up to, some people loose their parents at 1, while some at 60, so just live your life everyday to the glory of God, like thinking morally, what am doing is it right, what is my instinct telling me, do I sleep well at night, am I happy with what I just done, because God has given us all a conscience. So, when you do something outside of your conscience, it will prick you, telling you what you just done is not right. Some people listen to their conscience, some people don’t bother, while some even preempt their conscience, and that’s why they do good. So, in life, just be happy. Everybody around you, let them be happy. Enjoy life, be prayerful, eat well, sleep well and in all, live a healthy life
TNV: What’s is your advice to those coming behind you?
Ans:My advise to people is that do not live outside your means. It’s like somebody trying to start drinking because everyone else is drinking, especially because the drink is free! You have forgotten that it has own medical sides. So when they buy you a drink, would they also buy you the remedy?. So, am saying is that whatever is outside your means, don’t go after them. If you are not used to something, don’t do them. Why would you want to go somewhere and adopts someone else lifestyle?. You do not know what they pay to get there, neither do you know what they are paying to maintain that stage of life. So basically, I live within my means. I am a very open people, I do open door policies, and I can blend with anybody. I believe in life, we are all equal, opportunities just vary. But as human beings, let’s respect ourselves, because at the end of the day humanity is a specie, and the specie sticks together.
Whether you are this or that, or you got additional luck, that is just the gifts of God, but the gift of life is unique for everybody, good health is unique for everybody. If at the end of the day you discover that you develop some sickness, there are always supplements but moreso, if you live a good life, I don’t think somebody is likely to have any medical condition that is outside his lifestyle. So eat healthy, sleep well, am not somebody that thinks, I don’t stress myself, I am a very lively person. I believe that whatever comes to you in life, if it doesn’t kill you, you are going to succeed in it.
