The last Sunday of the month of June 2012. Decided not to do the long trip today. Instead, chose to worship at a church closeby. Had to do some work back home. Miss the home church though. Service was fun(though I got there late, but just before the message). I went with dad. Mum went with the other crew to igbosere church. There was smth amazing they did today after the message, while welcoming guest/new comers. They asked for everyone's name and where they came from. And you know what...they found someone in church who understood their dialect to greet them with it. There were about 7 people and I was expecting that they wouldn't find someone to greet one of the visitors in their dialect but woooooo! They had it all in church even though it was a small church(numbering around 120+). It got weirder When they recongnised some people visiting and called my dad and I...from Lagos island church...hmm..kunle o...I stood up and waved..as those people always do naa. Came back home...had lots and lots to do..mothers are trying ...imagine just you and your dad at home and you had to prepare smith for him..something for the dogs...and yourself..clean certain things..and many other things..was even tired to start working after I found out tuned has put a password on his system...yea, tunde is like family now.my bro's friend but family now, he even gets to drive mum and the ladies to church. Sent a text to ....called up Femi...and the day went on and on....till I took the iPad to start typing this stuff and then thinking that I'm getting tired of typing and Shud better go get working on my report. Anyway, I go like drop this pen now...my day no big like dat but na amazing day on my own part of the world view sha......and yes, I used "sha".

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.
