30th July,2011

What a day!
Its not going to be your standard-follow-all-the-rules writing. Copied it out from my favourite notepad.

Today aint actually the real day but i am going to go some steps back in 24kinda hours telling you about my first day in Abuja. yes, i didnt just go to do JJC for fun. I had a purpose for being there. Apart from going to claim the land, I went for an interview. Lets save this file as 30th July, 2011.

it all started with me waking up in Moye suites at iyamoye, Kogi State. I had arrived the evening before with my dad, i joined him at the Ile-Ife round-about where Oduduwa university. We decided he was gonna drop me off at okenne, then i'd take a bus to Abuja. but Ome, as we got out after praying together in the hotel Room. people he talked to adviced him that he does not have to drop me off there but that i'd get a bus in front of the hotel. Hmm, daddy gave me cash sha, more than i tot i'd get for a trip to abj especially when i was close to the place but then, trip back too was there. i wonder should i say the exact amount(its not like it was one big deal like that). I got the Abuja bus at kabba. never mind their idea did not work , most of the buses were filled already. the trip was fun. i was just in sight seeing as i have never been on that path before. Lokoja happened to be a nice place, though not so fine as i expected but Ok sha. Hold up at Lokoja with 2 hrs on the spot did not help matters the more. we moved at last sha and then, abuja was calling. it was fun seeing the rash areas called abuja. I expected more but it was like the outskirts i was seeing did not help me with an idea of how the city was going to be.
I arrived at the park with still no clear idea. then the Myanya et maraba bus took me thru the main city and then to maraba at nasarawa state. hmm. see me, i just dey wonder, this Abuja fine o. especially the Wuse, Life camp part. i also heard asokoro, maitama is beautiful though i cant tell if i passed there.


Lets go further a bit. the next day was Sunday and it happened that i had planned on going to a church Dami attended(Winners, Life Camp) but then, myself and Dapo just couldnt find the place. we then, entered TREM by lets enter even if we do not knoww. It was fun all through. We had this three-hour praise session. Whew! Sweat full my trads.

Love & More - Act 1

Right from the first day I saw you, I was drawn to you. Not love at first sight, but an attraction that I still cherish today after 13 years.  I still remember the many walks we took when we started talking. My-o-my, I loved talking with you. I still do. Maybe I was listening more, now that I think of it. The one thing I recall was you made it easy to talk and thinking of the walks between White House (Engineering Building) and Computer science Building including other locations within the Obafemi Awolowo University community? Still cherish them. You have come to show me another part of life, completing me in areas I am not as strong. Still a journey for me but I cherish the process even though I sometimes react to the adjustments. I cherish the results though. I love it when you are happy. When you smile (even at my dry jokes). I love it when you excel at the things you do. formal and informal.  I appreciate your thoughtfulness to things. I guess it comes with you being so st...

Love & More - Act 2

 It has been a while we had the movie night. We have some history with movie nights I must say. From the times in Akure, Lagos and now, Amstelveen.  Whenever we watch, it exciting. I enjoyed the action movies and then the love ones. I enjoy all of it anyway cos we watch together. the taking it back so you understand better is not so fun for me sha..me i have moved on in cases like that.....but anyways, i agree with you.......better to understand the context. When did we start watching movies together?   Before we got married I guess. I guess this was in Lagos before I took the job with BEDC. Not sure if we watched any on our own or always with Bukky and Busayo. But anyways..the history was formed. Cinemas. one thing I loved about Igbatoro, Akure was the Filmhouse Cinemas at the Akure Mall.  and then those cozy evening when we did nothing but watch a move together. Do you always stay up when we watch? Now I have to write that you might stay up with the first movie but...

The Many Walks with Kiity

 Ever heard of the benefits of 30 minutes walk everyday?  I bet you have. Walking is a great way to improve or maintain our overall health. Just 30 minutes every make a change in your life. I took a walk for 1 hour once and I felt the effects. It was about 8km in all and I could feel my legs tingling when I finished. The next day, the muscles spoke and I was happy.  Kiity and I enjoy taking lots of walks. We did that a lot in Nigeria both individually and together. I enjoy it more when we do it together. Since we arrived the Netherlands in April this year, we have had several walks and I enjoy it more when we do it together.   Walking over a small bridge, De Poel, Amstelveen I decide to take walks for many reasons;  - To exercise. - To clear my head and away from the familiar - To see the environment and new places. - To breathe a different air. The most important is to talk. This is when I do it with Kiity. We have to talk about something as we go.  W...
