Female talking drummer, Aralola Oluwamuyiwa, has recalled how she fell from millions to nothing.
She said up till three years ago, she was doing so well that she got N3m per show.
But, according to her, all went wrong until she returned to God, with a new deal from the Lagos State Government now rebuilding her destiny.
In an interview with ‘The Nation’, she says, “All of a sudden everything stopped working. People that would call for shows all of a sudden, everything stopped. Shows that I get paid N3m is what people would be pricing for N100,000. To cut the long story short, I became homeless, I couldn’t afford to feed, couldn’t pay my child’s school fees, I sold all of my cars, sold my hummer jeep, Hilux, things started going bad. It got to a stage where I said this must be the hand of God. Something is wrong.
“I went for prayers and I was told that nobody is fighting me, that this is God. Listen to him. He wants to use you for something but you are not listening to him. I said okay but you know we are stubborn. I started fighting God, I suffered the more. For almost one year, I lived in one room in a hotel. This is in 2019. But you see the day I cried like the prodigal son, I said, God this is me, whatever you want to do with me, you made me, you moulded me, please, forgive me, I have come back to you. What do you want me to do?”
The new project is a reality show tagged ‘Eko Inspired me by Ara’.
