So I say a very big hello from here to every end of the entire steeming family. After keeping a long date to get this guy interviewed so as to put his inspiring story on my blog as well, he finally showed up, and It's a good thing I got him well interviewed.
So I will like you all to meet MURPHY YOGAA ATANDA, born on the 23rd of June, 1995, attended yaba college of technology and projecting to further his education is the very contortionist ever that contorts with bend legs (bow legs) also the very king of the tontortion in Nigeria and possibly the entire Africa and indeed I'm happy that a rare talent of this nature could come from Nigeria, it's indeed a pride to the nigerians and even the entire black nation.
For once now you might be wondering, WHAT IS CONTORTION?
Contortion is a performance art inwhich performers called contortionists showcase or display thier skills of extreme physical flexibility. Contortion acts also accompany's acrobatics, circus acts and other live performing arts.
Murphy Atanda is a contortionist, hailing from abeokuta, western Nigeria, he goes by the stage name Murphy Yoga. During an online interview I had with him, he was able to spell out a good detail of how this whole journey of contorting actually began.
According to Murphy he states that he has been into contortion since last year March 2017, well maybe not so long as you might be expecting. Murphy yoga has been into this for an estimate of a year, but actually looks like he has been doing this for years. Just like the pros which he actually is. In an interview with him, I asked him how he discovered this great and very rare talent of himself and he explicitly spelled out the adventure that led to this talent discovery. I.e the discovery of his flexibility.
Murphy Yoga states that he only ended up discovering how very flexible he was after being pushed down from a stair case. Being so flexible to this extent is not what is common, this is not what everyone or just anybody can do. I remember while growing up as a young boy I tried turning my entire arms 360 straight up, I can't forget so soon how impossible that felt, Infact any further movements would have caused a fracture or perhaps a dislocation. So Could it be that people who are able to perform contortion have a different kind of body arrangement or perhaps special bone patterns? What could be the reason to this effect? I wondered, so I went on to ask further and 😂 Lol he's answer was quite funny, he said couldn't actually answer that as he had no idea as to how he's body is able to do all that it does.
Through my interview with Murphy, I observed that Murphy has to an extent been criticized on his talent by people as well whom he referred to as, "haters"
But anyways one thing I'm certain about is that Murphy is just like every other normal human you know in your street or your school, church or neighborhood. Yet it's very normal for people to say clumsy statements about you but that is especially because your doing something very uncommon, something unimaginable something out of the box, with all these you'll be sure that people must talk. But we don't ever forget that people always talk negations about you, especially because you are great. And if no one talks about you for any reason at all, then it means you are nothing, and when you are finally nothing, it means you have failed and when you are a failure they will still talk negations about you, blaming you for your failure.
So the most important thing is yourself and not the words of people. If you asked me I'll rather spend more time developing myself than listening to the words people say about me, especially haters*
