Renowned boutique owner and socialite Richard Brown, popularly known as Osebo the Zaraman, has revealed the motivation behind his consistent acts of kindness towards the less privileged.
Osebo shared the reason, recounting an incident at the airport where he faced potential denial of an international trip. Desperate for a resolution, he sought divine intervention and made a covenant with God.
Osebo pledged that if the challenges hindering his journey were alleviated, he would dedicate himself to supporting the less fortunate for the rest of his life.
“At the airport, people were being denied entry to the fight so I went to the bathhouse and kneeled before God. I told him that my parents were poor. My mother had to sell her clothes to fund my travel abroad, so if I bounced at the airport, I might commit suicide.
“So, if he [God] helps me to travel abroad and I return safely, I will make it a priority to donate to the widows and orphans in society till I die. It was a covenant I made with God so if I refuse to do it, God will take me back to my previous state,” he said during an interview with Abeiku Santana on Okay FM .
Osebo, however, gave a glimpse into his humble beginnings.
“I used to push trucks on the streets before my life was transformed,” he added.
