Mo gbo ju lo ja is beautiful rendition of a Yoruba aphorism
1. Mo gboju loja: Literal, I took my eyes to the market meaning I got the best of what I wanted to get.
2. Mo gboju loja: Literal, I removed my eyes from other alluring things in the market, a Yoruba slang meaning to be defiant, stubborn and dogged about your decisions in spite of the cost.
3. Mo gbo oju loja: Literal, I listened to one knew the market and good wells, I followed his eye signs at urging me to pick what was original and quality meaning to rely on a wisdom greater than your in making a decision.
MAKING CHOICES-my convictions
The writer starts by placing premium on making the best decision that would bring the best outcomes in affirming he made a right choice in the first two verses; the next two verses hints on the dilemma of decision-making which often results in indecision, and impresses the defiance everyman needs in sticking to his decisions [INFACT, that is what makes a decision a decision]. He finally anchors his decisions on His faith, re-affirming that no mortal man can make the best decisions on his own and must continually look to HIS CREATOR, THE ONE WHO HOLDS HIS LIFE-for him, JESUS.
Mo gb’oju loja (I CHOSE THE BEST)
My love was not blind
I did not choose you in the dark
Your kind for me was hard to find
The reality of your beauty is stark 
I saw you and my heart melted
Within me, i was short of courage
Your charm that could not be faulted
Disarmed me and succoured my rage
Mo gboju loja (I WAS BLIND TO THE REST)
My love chose to be blind
The moment I sighted your cost
All my love till then gutted with lust (fire)
Suffered loss, I count them as lost
Today I take a look at my ruins
And sit to consider what a fool i’d been
Rather a dead phoenix than a living penguin
Rather aspire to a fool for love than a mere being
Mo gbo oju loja (I LEARNT FROM THE BEST, ENTERED INTO HIS REST)
You are the God that sees me
As i go about my franchise clueless
Simply taking a cue from the All-seeing eye
He whose love is pure and life endless
I may have fallen from being past feeling
Now i’m faultless, He’s able to keep from falling
In His Love, Peace and Joy would i be reeling
Yielding to His dailying promptings and callings
Dedicated to:Funmilayo Akinbiyi, you inspired me to write this. Indeed ‘mo moju loja’ when i sighted you as my beautiful bride…
