All hail the Queen

 

Two of the many reasons why I write this blog

One cause am pretty much alone must of the time so this is an avenue for interaction though one sided.

Two I like to think that am building up on my writing skills maybe one of these days I would write a book that could earn me international recognition like Chimamanda, yeah big dreams.

Anyway I watch epic Nigerian movies from time to time to kill boredom and today I chose to acknowledge Queen Nwokoye not because I know her personally and no I have not been paid do this but I can not help but admire her acting career path.

Why? Because see she has been able to carve out a niche for herself within the Nigeria Movie Industry and is in control of her game.

Not Cool

Dear Diary,

I ain't feeling so cool today because I just found out that Sunday is my birthday and the one person that I would love to spend the day with is travelling out of the country.

This love thing can be so annoying, there are a million other things and people I could spend the day with but here I am whinning over the one thing I can not have. Anyway its a lost cause so all am thinking of now is what do I give God as a birthday gift.

You see someone once testified in church that he asked for a specific something from God for his birthday and on that day he received the divine gift. Trust me I love presents so I latched on to that testimony and every year I ask God for a birthday gift.

However I have never quite received a divine package on my bday so am thinking if I rather than ask instead gave God a gift on my birthday then perhaps on his birthday he would shock me with something beautiful. I pray for further direction from the Holy Spirit and that your week progresses successfully. Amen.


Cheers

JCO.

Who?

A piece of very exciting news I heard today

• WHO officially declares Nigeria Ebola-free

It is indeed a miracle that for the first time in ages the African giant responded commensurately to a social threat. Usually scarce actions of citizens enlightenment/ awareness and government feedback were consistently provided across the nation throughout the Ebola crises.

Not forgetting the mercies of God and the prayers of the Nigeria Christians all of which propelled the country out of the health crises.

If we are to learn anything from this experience, it is that when we as Nigerians unite and speak with one voice over an issue, victory is sure. 

Like Martin Luther King I have a dream when Nigerians will stand up to isolate and treat every element of corruption that rears its ugly head anywhere within the country.

Nkem Happy Birthday

Special shout out to the man who has managed to lock me down for the past ten years. Feels like yesterday we just started out two young kids in love. All we had were each other and our dreams for the future.

Dreams which the good Lord blessed into reality, yes I had my kids, yes I did get my masters degree and yes we moved into our own house. The tears, sacrifices, arguments and compromises continue to yield beautiful beginnings.

My point is nothing good comes easy, times might seem so difficult and it feels like a no win suitation, stay and choke from frustration or give it all up and walk away. When you quit you give up on not only your partner but God that put you both together. 

Hold on and trust that everything will work for your good, like a house built on a solid foundation stay vigilant, prayerful, committed and faithful knowing that after the rains come sunshine. Look deeper cause there's a rainbow peeping between those clouds.
