Not many people knew that famous female Talking Drummer, Aralola Olamuyiwa, popularly known as Ara was homeless in Lagos.
The female drum star made the shocking revelation recently as she narrates her ordeal.
She said; “The ‘Eko Inspire me’ is an initiative to inspire hope in Lagosians who have lived in darkness and have been exposed to negative influences.”
“I was hopeless and homeless, I lost everything and it was someone that gave me a room in a hotel that I slept with my son for a year. I did not have anything, and I had to wait for kitchen food before I can survive.”
“When people give me a token like N15,000, it looked like millions to me then. It was really terrible.”
“It was my late mum that came to my aid, prayed for me, and got me a car. I started afresh after COVID-19 and I am grateful to the governor for believing and supporting this ‘Eko inspire me’ project.”
