A Little History


Kiitan and I at Tunji & Sero's Wedding on November 2016

Its been a little over 3 months since we got married. Life has been ..... I still don't know I'm married. And that it comes with some changes.

I had to fill a form two days ago, there was a section that referred to status. I almost ticked 'single'. And then I said 'oh, I'm Married'. Maybe its because it's still new. It's always going to be new anyway. Our Father makes it new everyday.

At Lekki Conservation Centre on July 2013

I recall our first outing sort of. it was to Lekki Conservation Centre. Not that I planned that. I wasn't supposed to be there. She was to go with her cousins but I happened to be around.


The Unplanned Outing to Freedom park on November 2013
 We have visited Freedom Park, Lagos about three times now. The first was not meant to be. I wanted to spend some time with Kiitan but then she didn't know my plan as I had not told her about it. She had already got a BRT ticket at TBS and would have boarded the bus but then She didn't. We had some nice time  seeing the drawings of some little kids and other art works present. We took lots of pictures too. The second time we visited was more of a stop over, the place was busier than the first time. We met Ifeanyi Dibia and talked a little. The third time was for wedding planning, writing out things and talking about them.


Explaining something to kiitan at Femi and Bola's Wedding on 29th October 2014
I remember seeing Kiitan after the church service (I got to the church late) and I was like Wow! She looked Wow! Her beauty shone brighter than I had ever seen at that time.



After Sunday Service at Davids Christian Centre, Lekki on June 2015
Every Sunday service I have attended at the DCC left me wondering how easy it is to live the christian life as Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo teaches bit by bit, simplifying every topic. I still yearn to attend service there. The online platform hasn't been working these days.

Kiitan visits the Nairabooks Store on July 2014
 I was excited to see Kiitan at the NairaBooks store. Or Should I call it the Library now. It holds a lot of books presently. NBooks had kicked off about 3 - 4 months before this day.


I see the Saint movie. And then I see you.
Kiitan told me about the Saint movie. It's the kind of film you wouldn't regret watching again and again. We watched it at MIF's place. We were working also. Don't say I told you, She was chatting a lot that day.

Kiitan at Akure when we began the journey

Would you say you visited Akure without going to the Akure Mall? Hmm......No you wouldn't. It's a sight to behold. Never mind that it is small compared to The Palms at Lekki or that the prices of the items are more expensive even though they still use the LOWEST PRICES nylon to pack them. You would relish just being in another world in Akure. Thank God there is a cinema (Filmhouse cinemas) and the host of other stores that makes it a one-stop shop.

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 Vacation Idea

  Kiity and I differ on this. What is a vacation? What is a retreat? Kiity made me think of retreat. To me, every time away from work is a vacation. This is my simple definition.  I recall when I was studying. The same definition applied. Anytime away from school is a vacation. When the school is not in session, we are on vacation. The same has applied to my work life.  But Kiity sees it differently. She had to google this and the AI overview gave the feedback below: A vacation is primarily for relaxation and fun, while a retreat focuses on personal growth, self-reflection, and often includes structured activities aimed at improving well-being Kiity is right by this definition. I have told her.  In my own world, it seems definitions are simple and when adhered to, makes my life simple. Where did all this come from? It came from a post Kiity made on Polarsteps about "our first Family Vacation". I looked at it and said we had done a lot of vacations in the past based o...

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...
