LEKAN SALAMI STADIUM AT ITS PEAK, THE DRY BONES ARE RECOVERING IN OYO STATE|Bro Paul Adebanjo

LEKAN SALAMI STADIUM AT ITS PEAK, THE  DRY  BONES  ARE RECOVERING IN OYO STATE|Bro Paul Adebanjo PICTURE PERFECT to me would always be an expectation of mediocrities. People of native intelligence do know there is nothing like PERFECT  from MAN except GOD is involved. But to every non-perfectionist, there is always a grace to make it perfect, and the grace is God. And so when God is involved we are perfected. The story of the dry bones in the Holy Book of the Christians makes more sense to me when I inspected the Renewed  Lekan Salami Stadium with a couple of friends. I'm conversant with this stadium though, I was a resident of that axis for many years gone bye. Honestly, the differences between "The then Lekan Salami Stadium" and  "The now Lekan Salami Stadium" are too clear even to the blind! Indeed the dry bones are rising...the buried glories of the state are receiving strength and shining; and brighter like the morning stars.
