Great men.

What a day!

There are blessings in life we miss. When I say blessings we miss, I talk of people we take for granted. They do certain things and we don't appreciate them for it. They could be family or just friends.

I've got a friend that's been a blessing in my life. I call him a great man. I guess i could say he's like a sketch pen that colours the lives of those around him. He's not only been kind to me but to others around which makes him unique. His name is Osemwegie Omoruyi. If you ever meet him, say a big THANK YOU to him for me.

Today, I couldn't find my wallet before church(and time was running out). I had to collect some amount i needed for tithe from him (I was going to find my wallet later anyway). He gave me and even paid for the fare(he does this normally, just trying to say that's not the point). Service was fun and WISDOM filled. Then I had to wait for a meeting afterwards and there was no change for him to give me. He had other stuffs to do but chose to wait for the whole period of the meeting(It took a while I can tell you). it might be nothing to him as he sacrifices a lot for people but hey! on my blog, I recognise. Did I mention he was the one who gave me the newspaper with the Fidelity Bank creative writing workshop. he didn't write but I did (he know I have some flair for writing). I wrote and was nominated. he also knows I have a passion for the power industry and has not failed in giving me relevant information from time to time, the last been the Lagos State power project which required about 10 electrical engineers. I applied. I didn't hear from them.

There was this day, a roommate was having his defence here in OAU. The external examiner needed a car to take him around the campus at least to his hotel and back. He handled this, getting a car thru a friend and all and all(I'm sure the roommate is still grateful till today).

A story I wont like to forget in a hurry is the N30,000 allowance we had as corp members back then. He gave it all as a sacrifice to the NCCF and was just left with some change for transport. This guy sha, I can't tell it all. Got to work. but this is just a tip of the iceberg(as far as I can write now).

If you ever get to know him, please drop a note. you'll sure agree with me that He's a great man.

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...
