I wrote to her in February 2015.

February 2015

A keypad on a phone entices me to type. To write words on and on. Imaginations that flows through the mind.

Today, it's about you. You I have come to know. You I'm learning about each day. A few miles you are from me but every step I want to learn of. The distance, I'd love to break but I know it's just for a while.

How are you this morning? So many words to say to you like I always want to. Talking all day long and the words never seem to stop. Talk of a time when I wondered how couples used to spend hours talking to one another, the time when I thought of what I'd be saying to you everyday and when I decided not to bother about it, that there would be something new, some similar for each day.

You amaze me each day, each day that I learn something new about you. Something that makes me wonder. Wonder how strong you are and how delicate you could be.

Your strength I'm proud of my dear. Days you get to spend at the office working on the reconciliation, doing the process map even till 1a.m in the morning at home. Something I'd rather not try unless it's an emergency. Even sometimes when it's an emergency, I shut off early. I guess I'm still the morning guy. With all the strength I can garner.

We are so different and I know. Different backgrounds. Different temperaments. I know for the dominant one. Different sex. Different ideas. Even different skin colours. And these all coming together with a bound of love makes a difference when we open our eyes to understand one another. A difference when I learn about the art of washing my hands when I get home even when I know I wouldn't be doing it always but I try to 90 percent of the time and you smile the 10 percent.

Love, a word I'm learning of each day. Still not perfect. I learn each day. I've got some distance to cover. Jesus taught on this and I see each day how it is been displayed in the Book of books. I say I love you not because I'm perfect towards loving you. I say I love you because I learn each day to. To love you. To be patient, to give, to listen, to share, to be humble and on.

Baby, it's a new month and there's so much we are going to achieve, as individuals and as a team. Welcome to this new week. You are definitely going to have a great day.

The words could go on and on....I'd let the pen rest here.

An Open Letter to Kunfaiyeoluwa

  I would love to draft a long letter to you. But the thoughts and words captured above say a lot that I want you to carry on for the rest of your life.  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. I would like you to know that I would be by your side from Day 1 t...

The Journey to 85 (Part 2)

Dont get it twisted. This is still 85kg. Not an age thingy. I woke up this morning to check my weight and it was 95kg on the dot.  This time I was happy. I was happy because i had hit 98.7kg some 4 weeks ago. I also decided to wear a particular shirt and it fit. Now that was something.  Have I been exercising? Or eating eight? The latter. No. The first, maybe. I stumbled on this by error. A friend triggered me to cycle to work and I did. Never mind that I had been saying I would do it as I see several people riding their bicycles all the way to Amsterdam. Anyways, I made the trip and I have been giddy about it since.  I have romanced the use of bus for over a year now that using the bike feels too sweet to use. I get to see other riders along the way and enjoy the view of Amstelveen and Amsterdam.  I should say it is also faster than using the bus sometimes especially if the first bus would be the 357. That takes 40mins for me in all. But with the bike. M...

Dam tot Dam loop Business Run - 5miles or 8km - Done!

  Yes, I did. And it was fun. I ran the Dam tot Dam loop Business Run 5Miles. And it was amazing to do this for the first time ever in 2024.  I got to know about the run about 2 months ago during a chat with Jana Reiss and I was interested. I had seen a friend and former line manager at MainOne, Ayomide, run marathons and amass medals from the run. I have also seen another former line manager, Vremudia run a lot including the marathons.  Living in the Netherlands made it easy to join the band wagon. You have roads with a bicycle path and the walk way aside the road for cars. Thus, I loved to joined the band wagon and have now taken part in the first long distance run.  I did the run the 8K in 1:08:10 Hrs. the best runner of the day did it in 25 mins. A pretty long way to get to for me. But I recall in my practice, the first time I did the 8K was 1:15:00 Hrs and the second time 1:09:00 Hrs. So a little improvement but definitely within my plan. I wasn't aiming to be t...
