What a day! 

I am here again with the attitude of writing. Here was I yesterday on my own when I suddenly stumbled on the vision - mission thing again. 

I was reading my digital electronics when one wonderful person called Michael started asking me questions about my life and what I saw for the future. Little wonder did I know what awaited me in the next 24 hrs. My life started moving at a speed I never thought it would some 40 minutes ago. as I sit on my bed, writing this or rather typing this on my laptop. I have made some moves towards changing from Control and instrumentation option to the Power option. 

I have even talked to Dr. Komolafe about this (though he gave me the No response) saying he had gone 50% into the course and was not ready to admit anyone into the course at this point. what fascinated me most was his desire to know more about the GPRS metering idea I wanted to get involved in. I didn't mention I went to his office twice. the first time he told me 'No' and we were done in about 2 minutes. the second time, though he still told me 'No' but we had a lengthy talk in which I got an idea still lingering in my head (Was I supposed to just have a chat with him?...I'll tell you about this later). we talked about the idea, why I had gone to Control and instrumentation and why I now wanted POWER. I told him all, starting with the idea on metering, talking with Dr. Jubril, the Distributed sensor network and every I cud spill out. the talk was a good one, gave me time to reflect on some things but the NO still remained.

I left with some justification in my heart but my question still remained "was that what i was supposed to do?". let me get back to yesterday after the little time with Michael. he asked me questions and I answered , though it sparked up some things that I couldn't control. I prayed and had the same leading I had some 3 weeks back of being in the power industry. though a voice said "EJECT!". How was I to interpret this. I knew I had to leave control and instrumentation but this could not come easy, here was I with all the control books and here was a leading to go to power. I couldn't, then I obliged. ok, I will. I got in contact with fellow power people with ease(they do not stay on campus, None!) and then the flight began.

Here am I with my mini(laptop) and I have this idea of making every housing meter in Nigeria, a GPRS/Bluetooth/WIFI meter where records can be kept in  accordingly with cheating or wrong billing in check.

Your Place, in your place, you are KING.
Your Place, when you are out of your place, you are only tolerated.

I have a focus, though I took this road late ( not at the time it was laid up in my heart) but I've got  the assignment. I only have one thing to do, That is RUN!

I saw a poster somewhere saying "Nigeria is blessed". I say, Nigeria is truly blessed if not because of you, because of me. I hope you can say that to me when we do see.

Till we meet again on What a day!

The Hyrox

We call it the bootcamp. For today, the activity is called the Hyrox.  As I type, I am yet to check the dictionary for the meaning of the word 'hyrox' to verify if it even exists. I think it should anyway. FYI- I will check after I finish scribbling.  In the picture above are my colleagues at Leaseweb. We had just gone through 35 minutes of some gruesome exercise. They appeared to be simple and light but as you had to do it repetitively, they become tasking and the pain keeps on coming. We do this once a week to encourage people to keep fit or rather create an avenue to exercise despite the bussle of the week. Focus today as on 6 activities and we had to do it in multiple rounds. You can fid the list below: 1. 1km run on the treadmill 2. Burpees  3. Row/Ski 4. Lunges 5. Sit ups  6. Farmer's Carry 7. 1km run on the treadmill. It is good the Coach was unable to spell my name correctly so I am unable to claim a position. But to make it easy for you, I did the least numb...

An Open Letter to Kunfaiyeoluwa

  I would love to draft a long letter to you. But the thoughts and words captured above say a lot that I want you to carry on for the rest of your life.  You indeed have a legacy to cherish and to build on. Your mum, grand-mums and great-grand-mums are one of the strongest and determined persons I have met and I know the seed lives on in you. Yes, I did come to know them all and I see the foundation you have to lean on. You are Royalty both Spiritually and by Land Origin. 1 Pet 2:9 reminds me of your spiritual royalty and the knowledge that you are of the origin of men who have reigned as Kings in Nigeria both in Kogi and Ondo States. Therefore, let the words scribed above by the Queen of the Southern Nigerian Kingdom bring light to you today and for every other day. I was watching a movie during the past weekend and it showcased a Father who stood by his daughter even when the whole community were against her. I would like you to know that I would be by your side from Day 1 t...

Dam tot Dam 2.0 in 2025

  Ran the 2025 Dam tot Dam loop again in 2025. The Night Run. I did this in 2024 and documented here . This time around, I went in for the fun and thrill. You can imagine that I did not practice as I did the last time. "I had done it a year ago, I must be able to do it again" was my mindset. Never mind that I had added about 3-5kg in weight. I was unbothered and so sure it would be done. Last, Last as we say in pidgin English, " I go waka am " which simply means that I would walk all the way. But I did not have to. In fact, I made it in an earlier time compared to the previous year. I made two phone calls during the run to show how i was just in the mood to enjoy it.  Now that I think of making a better time than the previous year. I consider that I must have been slow in 2024. what improved? I do not know.  I was having a conversation with some colleagues some days ago and they were asking for my running plans for the year 2026. I simply said another 8km. But they...
