Naija Why?

Why some fellow nigerians do not seem to value their lives, I may never know.

This truck was moving at night with a bad tyre (Extreme left on pics). Like seriously why? putting not only your life at risk but the life of other road users that could be affected if an accident occurs.

Lord have mercy!!!!!

My Brother

My prayer for you this morning is that the Lord:

* Opens your eyes to the true meaning of success

* Convicts your understanding of the shame associated with failure

* Restores in you an excellent spirit

* Renews your mind on the consistent effort required to achieve success.

* Quicken your spirit to the battle you must win to succeed.

* Reveal to you any person/ habits limiting your success.

* Destroys any powers standing against your success and  victory.

* Awakens in you a passionate passion to be the best despite all odds.

* Reveals to you the true value of a man is not in his possessions but his ability to harness his knowledge and skills to acquire them.

* Softens your heart to feel the pain and disappointment caused each time you fail.

* Deletes every trace of failure and establishes you and your future generations  on a path of success now and forever more.

In Jesus mighty name Amen.
Good morning Brother

Back to Ph

Day 5 and yours faithfully nails the drive back to Ph thank you Lord.

Now it's back to the drawing board for the big day, taken reconnaissance of processes that went wrong on the trad and improve on them such that it doesn't reoccur on the white. 

Sis smiling through the stress, hang in there darl. 

Brother In law the groom handling expenses expressly.

It's all love from both families, again I say Thank you Lord.

Thanks for coming

Day 6 of the GC Weekend lines are falling in pleasant places. 

Preparing sovenoirs for guests, quite a large number of people are expected to be in attendance so planning is everything.

There is an event planner for the occasion but with all the stories of arrogant planners, I ain't leaving anything to chance.

A friend said experience gained as an Usher in church should come in handy now and I sincerely pray so. Tomorrow I get to meet her 

Married by Custom

For this post I have little or no pics too busy catering to our guests (our newest in-laws) to even carry a phone talk about take pics.

Fulfilling the traditional rites was a royal jumble of distributing palmwines kegs, kolanuts,  garden eggs, coolers of food (swallow and rice), hot drinks, soft drinks, wines and sovenoirs to all 7 canopies occupied by the different groups of the groom/bride family.

The two most significant part of the day for me was firstly the prayer by the bride and groom's father to bless the union and secondly the bride and groom mother had to assist the bride tie her second wrapper that represents her transition from singlehood to married, was awesome. Asides idolatry, I truly appreciate the depth of our culture.

Brideprice done by 10am, wine carrying done by 2pm, entertainment and dancing  followed till about 7pm. Thank you Lord for journey mercies for all guest and family members see you all again next Saturday.

Almost there

Day 3 of the GC Weekend 

Started off handing the festivities over to God with a praise session God inhabits the praises of his people.  6am off to kill a cow, just realized the slaughter market is a multimillion enterprise comprising smaller industries. Cow owners, cow killers, the cow shearer, and the meat butchers. If you know you know.

So canopies, carterer, decoration and cake all arrive today, Sis who has been slightly down seems better and excitedly the first team from in-laws arrives by 7pm and our bridegroom is here.

Had dinner and they retire to their hotel for the night. Tomorrow is the DAY.

Ps: Indigenes in Diaspora also offered free eye test to the community truly an honourable venture God bless you all.

Drive

Day 2 of the GC Weekend
We take off to the villa for the traditional wedding weekend. Guess who is driving yours faithfully.

Three hours later we are in home county. 

Get situated,  dinner and off to bed, early start tomorrow.

Check out my bride

So it's all about GC this weekend, yes my little sister is getting married had the while family is gathering in Ph.

Day 1 is me flying into Ph  (with all the almost missed my flight drama), thank you Lord with my hair and nails yet unmade and my dress not finished (sewed it but didn't have time to weave the cut edges)

Note to self:  first thing on my list today is to find a good salon and a tailor to weave my dress.

Pimped

Kudos to this young gentleman. His wooden stall at the market was equipped with a cooling system(ceiling fan) and music. Can you spot the little speaker tied to the wooden shelf? Stay Inspired! and despise not the little beginnings.

So Cheap

Was in the neighbourhood Ademola adetokunbo and decided to check out this fast-food joint. Looked quite interesting from outside light display and all. However walking in place was deserted just one lady at the corner. Was here might as well get something, walked up to the counter and a lady presents the menu list.

4600 for a hamburger (that will get me a large pizza at you know where) no wonder the place was empty Lord have mercy.
