Cobhams Asuquo
Nigerian-born songwriter, singer, producer . . .
Was obviously born blind.
In a family of six children only Cobhams was born blind.
Well, the blindness didn't deter him from positioning his dreams, though. That's by the way!
He found the love of his life, Ojuolape, and they got married in 2010.
Wondering how Ojuolape got married to a blind man?
You wouldn't, right?
Love can do anything, anyway.
Love, they say, is blind.
When a man discovers his purpose, his disabilities becomes abilities.
Their marriage was all rosy . . .
Ojuolape became pregnant in 2011, a year after their wedding.
And she was delivered of a baby boy, who was christened David.
Guess what?
The boy was born blind too.
Yes, their first son, David is also blind.
Cobhams isn't just visually impaired, he has a virtually impaired son too.
Ojuolape isn't just married to a visually impaired man, she birthed a visually impaired son too.
Is it challenging? Yes!
Did she give in? No!
Amazingly, the boy is 9years old now, and he's a bad-ass pianist like his father.
Quite recently, Tito Idakula, the wife of one of Nigeria's finest Soul singers, Bez, hosted Ojuolape Asuquo on a show titled "My Jesus Experience"
She shared her thoughts on how challenging it is to have a blind son and a blind husband . . .
She was perplexed when the doctors told her that her son would be blind
And it was discovered four months after birth.
The video was emotion-studded.
Her faith quivered
But, she held on to Jesus, the author and finisher of her faith.
And of course, Cobhams Asuquo and family is living happily ever after . . . Not in spite of the predicaments, but because of them.
The morals of Ojuolape Asuquo is beyond the confines of marriage . . .
It is applicable to all ramification of life
You may wake up one morning and collapse . . .
You may be diagnosed of a chronic disease . . .
Your business may experience a slow . . .
Of course you never wished for it. You never wanted it so.
But, you have to accept it . . .
And live!
Great things are wrapped in ugly packs.
When life throws a stone at you, step on it and climb higher.
