Oluyole recounted that Ruth's words broke her heart and that was when she realised that she has a big role to play in the heart of the little girl.

Seyi Oluyole tweeted,

"Ruth is 10 today Guys! 

First time we met in 2019, she told me ‘I want to be a yahoo girl when I grow up.’

Her words broke me. She wanted to be more - and in her environs, more meant ‘FRAUD’."

"I knew then and there, that I had a BIG role to play in her life.

First step - I asked her to take me to her mum. She took me to a petite woman who sold Ugwu by the road side. Their resemblance was striking. 

Her mum told me how Ruth had to stop school due to their money struggles.

"I told the mother we’d enroll her back in school …

First step - I asked her to take me to her mum. She took me to a petite woman who sold Ugwu by the road side. 

Their resemblance was striking. Her mum told me how Ruth had to stop school due to their money struggles.

"I told the mother we’d enroll her back in school …

In the first few weeks of school, she picked up really fast but gradually her good scores started to drop. She was crying a lot.

"After much probing, we learnt that she was witnessing a lot of domestic abuse between her parents and this made her sad.

Myself and the team had a meeting with her mum, who agreed that there were fights in the house. 

"Her mum asked if we could take Ruth in so she could have a safe and healthy space to grow up in.

"We agreed and By the end of that school term - Ruth’s grade picked up.

"Since 2019,Ruth’s Mum would visit one weekend every month - and she never missed a date until this year in February.

Her number didn’t go through until march.

This time it was a man who answered the call- telling us Ruth’s mum had fallen sick, was taken to the village and died 💔

"It was a dark day- and even as I tweet this, I remember her so well. The will in her eyes every time she visited. How she’d get upset with Ruth if there were any negative reports. And then hug her right after scolding her.

"How were we to break this news to this face ? Anywho, no sad stories today. We are celebrating our ball of sunshine who has a gift for everyone. 

Sometimes cries for no reason but loves us all. 

"Make me the most beautiful things with papers. 

So Happy Birthday Ruth. Here is to many many more years!

"We all GOT YOU BABY ❤️

Ruth’s love for singing and dancing is very evident.

She sings while washing plates - she dances on her way to get something. 

"Any Avid follower of DCA would recognize her. 

For context, I’m attaching a clips of her dancing and singing.

"Thank you all for the love 💕."
