one more week to go


NAPTIN ends...Transmission sector offers the jobs to other Electrical Engineers.

Phew! I almost said. Why did I want the job anyway? why did I feel left out? Not like I loved the transmission way past the other sector. To be true, the transmission has been the most boring of all. Wheeling out power form the generation plants to the distribution companies without some form of automation involved has been 'dry'. I wasn't enthusiastic about the whole parade when I had a stint there for two weeks.

Then my question again. why did I feel left out that I wasn't taken? Could it be that I felt if anyone was to be taken in Kogi state, that I had to be the one? Was I better than the others? Did I know what they had gone through, their experiences and education? What was special about me?   Did I feel my life so far in the Electrical sector was going to suffice the requirements for working there?

The question I answered and couldn't answer as I discovered that text messages had been sent to successful North Central candidates in the 2013 TCN interviews.  

I'm happy I wasn't called in a way. And I'm unhappy I wasn't called in another way.

It's been a dream to be instrumental in restoring or adding the power required by the country. When I think of it again, I want to play while I work. Experiencing what work in the power sector could be for me in life I realise it's going be a serious business without the fun I expected except if the private investors make changes to the whole power business.

Why don't I just keep solving problems like I have always been doing in my head? only this time, I get to bring it all to the open for people to benefit and 'pay' also.

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...
