I almost Quit the NAPTIN programme

I almost quit the NAPTIN programme today.

I am no more doing that. I kinda had some pressures within me to do something else. Write. Start up a website company. Bookhobbs, I call it.

You know what. I can still do that with this programme running. I prayed about it last night. I didn't say it all but then, the pressures came from me being in a place where I don't understand where the future leads. I had a mindset coming for this programme. "Learn about the generation business". I've done so. I'm still doing so. Its so enormous as I've found out. Very big to comprehend in a short while.

I think the environment contributed to it. and me too. Allowing myself to get weighed down by the circumstances. For the second time in my life, I got confused on where I wanted to go. The first time was where to go concerning my masters degree project after spending four semesters.

I guess having the right set of people around you will always matter in life. I had Aietemi (my roomate) advise me on certain things using the scriptures too. I had Chuka also by the side (he probably doesnt know he made an impact). And above all, God on my side.

In church two days  ago, the pastor talked about 'we' receiving direction. I claimed it. I then sat down and fashioned some things out. It didn't work out. It wasn't enough. I guess God had other plans.

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...
