Osemwegie came this last weekend

I was suprised to see Osemwegie last Saturday. He cam in some minutes past 8p.m. He had come from Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State where he lectures. I was happy to see the great guy after a very long time. We had communicated on Friday and he didnt mention anything like coming to Benin. So it was more of a suprise to see him.

He had a long talk with his dad and mum. Apparently, something serious was up and I would later discover that It was something that had started about three to four years ago, something I knew about. Something that would have to do with his future. Everyone's future actually, but more of his.

And then Sunday came, we attended church together (Winners Chapel, Iyekogba, Benin City) and he was almost saying someone would feel somehow about he going to Winners but I just pushed him on. No one felt anyhow afterwards that I knew about.

The most suprising thing about the day was the visit to people he knew at Benin. We visited his grand-mum, his mother's mum. didn't want to write mother's mother. Though it would still sound well anyway.  We saw his Uncle. We saw Omofunwa/Osazuwa. We saw Mummy Airport Road, She lives behind Zoro Supermarket on Airport road, thus the name Airport road. I should add that everywhere we went, each person took him to an inner room to discuss this issue while I stayed out in the sitting reading 'My Vision' by Mohammed Bin Rashid Almaktoum of Dubai.

Whatever the issue was, I told him everyone would speak to him but he still had the final decision to make, and then I got a story that looked like the Jeroboam story. Listening to elders.

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...
