The OG Tortoise and the New Boys*🐢

In the forest, there was one OG. Name na *Tortoise*.

This tortoise was the _Original Gangster_ of wisdom. Any problem, animals go come meet am. He don dey the forest since the time of grand-grandfather.

One day, three new young animals came to the forest. Lion’s sons. They were loud and rude.

*Lion 1:* `We be the new kings now. OG, park one side.`
*Tortoise:* _smiled_ `Ezi mgbede my children. I meela nke ọma that you came.`

The young lions laughed. `Old man, wetin you sabi?`

Dry season came. No food. No water. The young lions were fighting and hungry.

Tortoise gathered all the animals. `We go dig well together. We go share food together. Na so we dey do am since.`

Because he was OG, everybody listened. They dug, they farmed, they survived.

At the end of dry season, the young lions came back.
*Lion 1:* `OG... we were wrong. Teach us.`
*Tortoise:* `Being OG no be about age. Na about respect, wisdom, and "I meela" even when people disrespect you.`

From that day, the young lions started calling him `OG Tortoise`. And whenever they had problem, they’d say: `Make we go ask the OG.`

*Moral:* Real OG no dey shout. Real OG dey build people. Respect and wisdom make you legendary.
