24/7

I turn older every 24th of July.
I just want to take sometime to sit back and reflect over the past decades of my life.
There have been so many ups and low moments for me.
I have been through so much emotionally than I think is necessary. I have literally not had any real friends, just me, my God and my immediate family.
I have been hurt so much, I turned it all to writing.
But I am grateful. I am far from being perfect, and I know I have a long way to go, but I am assured my future is bright so I won't let negativity get the best of me.
Me getting older is just a reminder that God is giving me a new slate to start over and make every moment count. Some are not so lucky.
I lost some people a while back and I was emotionally affected. I know that I am not alive because I am better than them, but because God is ever merciful.
I want to touch and impart as many lives as possible, God sparing my life.
I want to make everyday of the rest of my life count positively.
I am putting behind my hurt and pain and I am throwing away all shades of fears and frets.
I am thinking positively and the many graces God had done for me and the ones He's yet to do.
I want to strive to make God proud. I will never ever want to let Him down.
I want to make my family proud and happy.

I hope God sees me through and prepares me for whatever tasks He has ahead for me. 
I am a grateful heart.🙏

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME.

*...AND THE PRESIDENT CAME*

11 June 2021 06:26am With nostalgic feelings, I recall how beautiful it was growing up in the 70s. So many activities to remember and look forward to. One of them was the visit of the President. For whatever reason, ...and the President came. The preparation to welcome the President was like none other. Children were made to line the streets of the major Roads in their school uniforms, just to welcome the President, catch a glimpse of him, proudly waving the green white green flag of the Federal Republic of Nigeria...and the President came. I recall how my mom of blessed memory, would iron my brown khaki uniform, bring out the whitest of all my socks (in retrospect, I think she used to keep a particular pair of white socks for the visit of the President🤔), polish my brown Cortina shoes shining like a beautiful mirror, you could almost see yourself in them, as you walk majestically in them, all eyes on you as...and the President came. Beautiful! She would say after looking at her ha...

Who's in the Garden?

Once upon a "who's in the garden?" A game I hated while I was growing up. I saw myself not being able to respond to the answer because I was viewed as the "the not fine little girl". So I grew up seeing myself as such. I grew up into a timid young teenager "disadvantaged" in many ways. Very slim, delayed boobs growth, those ones were like walnuts, flat "behind" and to make matters worse, I had coloured teeth (I still do though but see them differently now😎) which made me wear a permanent frown on my fave. For those who grew up in the 70s and 80s, this was a game we used to enjoy so much and an opportunity for you to show off that you were beautiful and also identify those who saw you as one. I hated that game! Reason? Anytime I attempted to join, my play mates were always very quick to let me know that I didn't qualify. It was painful to say the least. Some memories don't just go away! My self esteem was battered, I was timid and had...

Parents, Plan for your Old Age

 Dear Parents, The time for you to prepare and plan for your tomorrow is now, if you haven’t started. Pls do not rely on any child for your old age, no matter how much you may have sacrificed or are still sacrificing for them because unlike us, the children these days do not have space for their parents in their future plans! If you happen to be one of the lucky few, congratulations, but do not be caught napping! It’s better to be safe than to be sorry.  It’s all about them! Only about them! Only about them and their tomorrow. Listen to them speak. Engage them in discussions relating to their future. You will be shocked. The feeling of entitlement these children/youths exhibit is out of this world. No matter what you do or how much sacrifice you make, they believe it’s their right and most of them believe that they owe you nothing in return as you are simply performing your parental roles. A child once said to me “I didn’t beg my parents to bring me into this world”. Another o...
