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 strong at details. I am catching up in these areas, learning from the best. I said sometime when you were ill, that I was used to you being strong and haven't really learnt to see you weak. That is true. Still a journey for me on the TLCs required.  

I think back to the beginning of the journey on 26th November 2016 (Wanted to write 25th - but let us stay with 26th) and realize I am very fortunate to be walking on this journey with you. Doing life with the awesome Kiity. The Supergirl. My Superwoman. Down-to-earth as ever. 

I am grateful for how far God has brought us. Grateful for the privilege to learn to give together. My natural self is the saver as I always say but together we are the bomb. I have heard ministers say they don't talk too much to their spouse when it comes to giving to get them to agree. I know I am in that bucket. Na me even dey hold you back😀😄. But it has been awesome giving as a team. 

I recall the whole pressure on you travelling to a foreign country for visit. Especially the pressure for UK. We go still go this UK o! Grateful that God brought us to NL. And not just NL being better given the orderliness and structures we have seen so far, but that he gave you a word in Jeremiah 29. I had heard the word from Augusto and I didn't mention to you but when you mentioned same, I was like "Did you hear it from Augusto?" Still amazes me today. 

There are so many more beautiful memories to share, and starting with this year when we raise our beautiful twinney babies, I am so looking forward to the tasks of raising them - the job is on us both. These times are sure going to be one that would stretch us but all the same, we have been equipped for the journey. 

Here is to many more beautiful Valentine days. Many more beautiful memories and many more 'Acts' on Love and More 🍷🍷.

The Hyrox

We call it the bootcamp. For today, the activity is called the Hyrox.  As I type, I am yet to check the dictionary for the meaning of the word 'hyrox' to verify if it even exists. I think it should anyway. FYI- I will check after I finish scribbling.  In the picture above are my colleagues at Leaseweb. We had just gone through 35 minutes of some gruesome exercise. They appeared to be simple and light but as you had to do it repetitively, they become tasking and the pain keeps on coming. We do this once a week to encourage people to keep fit or rather create an avenue to exercise despite the bussle of the week. Focus today as on 6 activities and we had to do it in multiple rounds. You can fid the list below: 1. 1km run on the treadmill 2. Burpees  3. Row/Ski 4. Lunges 5. Sit ups  6. Farmer's Carry 7. 1km run on the treadmill. It is good the Coach was unable to spell my name correctly so I am unable to claim a position. But to make it easy for you, I did the least numb...

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...

Dam tot Dam 2.0 in 2025

  Ran the 2025 Dam tot Dam loop again in 2025. The Night Run. I did this in 2024 and documented here . This time around, I went in for the fun and thrill. You can imagine that I did not practice as I did the last time. "I had done it a year ago, I must be able to do it again" was my mindset. Never mind that I had added about 3-5kg in weight. I was unbothered and so sure it would be done. Last, Last as we say in pidgin English, " I go waka am " which simply means that I would walk all the way. But I did not have to. In fact, I made it in an earlier time compared to the previous year. I made two phone calls during the run to show how i was just in the mood to enjoy it.  Now that I think of making a better time than the previous year. I consider that I must have been slow in 2024. what improved? I do not know.  I was having a conversation with some colleagues some days ago and they were asking for my running plans for the year 2026. I simply said another 8km. But they...
