She further noted that “this is like the second time this has happened to me”.
Read below, the transcribed version of the conversation.
Omotola: So, who told you that I’m your mother?
Spiritual son: It’s a man I was staying with at Niger state.
Omotola: He told you I’m the one that gave birth to you, that you should come to Lagos and look for Omotola?
Spiritual son: No, he did not tell me physically. It’s something spiritual.
Omotola: So like a spiritual awakening, like a vision?
Spiritual son: No, not vision. Just like a spiritual message.
Omotola: But you first said you want to apologise to me. Why are you begging me? If I’m your mother, why are you apologising to me?
Spiritual son: I thought you won’t understand.
Omotola: So spiritually I gave birth to you but I didn’t give birth to you physically?
Spiritual son: Yes.
Omotola: Are you okay? What’s your name?
Son: My name is Chinonso.
Omotola: Your name is Chinonso… So I left Yoruba land to go and give birth to you spiritually in Igbo land.
