International Day of Families

The importance of the family unit cannot be overemphasized, as we all have our families, blood and adopted. May 15th of every year has been set aside by the United Nations since 1996 to celebrate the family, and promote awareness on several issues facing families globally.

It's My Birthday!!!

Yay!!!! Happy birthday to me!!!

On this date, 34 years ago, on a beautiful Sunday morning, this lovely gal bounced her way into this awesome world of ours, bringing rays of sunshine into the world. Hehehehe...

Of course I'm not going to write about anything else today, I'm just gonna relax and enjoy the day. I'm super grateful for sooo many blessings in my life; when I look at where I was, where I am, and the better days are ahead, I give all praise to my God, my father who watches over me always. I pray to have the willpower to give back to the society and to do good as much as I can (can't say always, lol).

Enjoy your week, and remember to live to the fullest because you only live once (YOLO). 

May God bless the works of our hands this week and beyond, Amen. 

All About the #Headies2016

So, The Headies, our own version of American Music Awards, or one of such, was held yesterday in Lagos, and as usual, what's an Award without a hint of scandal or two? Especially one that involves our music stars and their over-inflated egos. I've been in my village enjoying the holidays and I didn't get to watch it live, but when I saw the hashtags on Twitter, I read and decided to watch the award online before I made my observations.

Salute to the Teachers!

Today is a day set aside by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) to honour teachers all over the world for their daunting task of imparting knowledge into the young minds, guiding and moulding them as they discover their paths in life.

As We Turn 56

For reasons I cannot explain, on the eve of my birthdays I'm always sober, no excitement or any of those emotions I believe people experience when their birthdays are approaching. Mine's this sober reflection into the past years, checking how far I have come, the way forward, mistakes made, lessons learnt, etc.

Let There Be Peace (International Day of Peace)

Helloooo...

I'm still basking in the euphoria of the new addition to my family; my only sister gave birth to her first child, a girl, yesterday morning and I've been so excited. I think I'm even more excited than the new mom, lol.

Eid Mubarak! Humanity Above Religion

Happy holidays everyone.

I doubt if anyone needed this break more than yours truly. I wish all our Muslim brothers and sisters a blessed Eid ul Adha. May your sacrifices be acceptable to the Almighty Allah. 

Much Ado About Mark's Visit

Bonjour tout le monde,

Hope you’ve been having a great week. To my old and new readers, I say welcome! As you must have known, I don’t do breaking news, rather I watch a news event play out, then analyse it here from my own corner and my perspective. It’s more fun that way, right?

To my Parents on their Birthday!

Do you think the dead celebrate birthdays wherever they are? I think they should. I mean, it's not like they've a lot of things to do for fun there in the land of the dead, abi?.

Eid Mubarak!!

Happy Eid ul Fitr to my Muslim brothers and sisters. May joy and peace fill you hearts and homes. 

To my fellow workers, don't you just love the extended holidays?? I don't really care about why the holiday was extended, sighting or non-sighting of the moon, but boy, am I glad? Someone said to me this morning that it'll affect our economy; say what?? One extra day of holiday will worsen our economy? Na so!!

Happy Fathers' Day

Whenever Fathers' Day comes, I always dedicate my post to real Fathers, not sperm donors as some men are. This year is no exception. Happy Fathers' Day to all Fathers, who make their children a priority in their lives, who love and protect the mothers of their children, bearing in mind that doing this will make their children feel secure also.
