"From My One Room in Gbagada in 2018" : Spyro Recounts Journey From Poverty to Building Third Mansion

By Oluwarantimi Oludase

Fast-rising Nigerian singer Oluwasanmi David Oludipe, professionally known as Spyro, has recounted his journey from battling poverty to building his third mansion.

According to the "Who Is Your Guy" crooner, from his one room in Gbagada in 2018, he had a dream of someday buying mansions and rebuilding them to his taste. He noted that although he had nothing at the time, he held a strong conviction that God was able. Now, he is currently building his third mansion.

Revealing the reason behind his insistence on serving God, Spyro stated that he cannot stop shouting about Jesus because his life was once a mess. He disclosed that he struggled with poverty, but God has now changed his story.

Spyro wrote on his Instastory:
"From my one room in Gbagada 2018. I had a dream of someday buying mansions and rebuilding to my taste, and tho I had nothing, I had a deep conviction that God was able. Now look at me, here is the 3rd one. Jesus is real.

Doing what I do best aside from music. Interior designer

When @bolajid said to me that morning, “Spyro, whenever you wake up in the morning, see yourself in your future and say what you want to see. I started saying things that made me look stup!d even to myself and I began to doubt but I was in church again and PB while preaching said ‘you do the dreaming and leave the doing to God”. That hit me and every single thing I saw and said is my reality today.

Don’t be deceived. Christ works.
E get why I no fit stop dey shout this Jesus o. Life was a mess. Literally, poverty took me to cook efo riro, but he changed my story and gave me a song."
