I and Kiity. Be together.

So its been a thing of we'll be together. I support this. but then my actions seems to say I'm okay with being the travelling husband. Not that I don't like the idea of coming home to a beautiful wife. I do. but I'm more concerned about working and wanting Kiity to have a fulfilling career too. I guess you'll understand why Lagos now seems to be my focus point all along. I've toyed with the idea of resigning and starting a writing career. Something like what Ted Dekker did at a time when he was about my age. Just that I have written two unpublished full-length novels to boast with. Looking back, the journey started in 2012. As friends. 2013 with a commitment. And its been distance on distance. First was Ile-Ife and Lagos. Till Kiity came to Lagos. That was shortlived as I took my bags to Benin. Then Sapele and now Akure. And here's the crux, we agreed we'll be together. We've prayed we'll be together. And you know what whether its Akur...

Leaving Sapele....

So I craved Lagos. I still do. I'm going there. But then I've been craving a shift from Sapele. To leave Sapele. And just last week, something popped up. Wanna know? I was offered a position at Ondo/Ekiti State. Its a Technical Assistant role. It happened that some weeks back I was at the office on a saturday ruminating over my-not-loving the New Economy role, So I sent a mail to the Head of HR asking for a technical role. To be truthful, I later realised I  didn't even know what I was asking for. Within me, I wanted to do something more meaningful. Technical sounded meaningful to me. I didn't imagine that one of the Regional Heads ( We have 3 in BEDC) would retire. That a new Regional head would be chosen and I would be called upon to be a Technical assistant. But it happened. And then how do I do my Lagos thing?
