HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!


Thank you the moderator..... First of all, who is a mother? A mother is someone who knows our needs, has a genuine interest in all that we do, and is someone who guides and inspires. She is the captain of the ship which brought us to life. In our society today, we have women of timber and caliber, women of proven integrity, women of enviable repute and status.............

My opening paragraph is a recollection of a debate  I participated in when I was 10 years old. I remember how my primary 6 teacher or what you would call grade 6 teacher, Mr Joseph, would write out debates for us, and ask us to go and memorize it. I would stand to rehearse in front of my mother because debates were a big deal for me. At age ten, I watched myself on NTA 2 Channel Five debating. Loool! The years have sure gone by. Anyway, this isn't about me. It's about Mothers! It's Mothers' Day!!

A woman is God's last creation. She's meant to be loved, cherished and adored. To all Mothers out there as well as future mothers, I say a very BIG HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOU ALL. U sure make the world go round.  Enjoy this poem by Don Wells.

In the bedroom you're a lover
in the kitchen you're a chef
with the kids you are a doctor
when do you ever rest?

With the bills you're an accountant
with the house work you're a maid
with the neighbors you are a diplomat
you're worth more than i could pay

At the gym you are my trainer
at the pool a lifeguard too
at the park you are a watch dog
is there nothing you can't do?

We may not ever know
all the jobs that you have done
but as many as you've had
can i add another one?
The title's CEO
and you've just been hired

as for all the other jobs...
let's say that you've retired
We thank you for the hard work
but your working days are through
and so from here on out
let us take care of you


So go ahead and give mama a special treat !!!!!!!!!!! :-)

A little Update From Me

Hello there!! Happy New Year!!!  I say Happy New Year because I've been away from this blog for so long. :-(  I can't get past the fact that it was the new year just a few months ago. I remember going to church for the crossover service into the new year. It was my first in-person crossover service in 7 years. If you don't know what a crossover service is, ask any Nigerian. :-) 2023 was a few hours away, and my mind ran over the events in 2022. I thought about my wins, like moving to a new state, settling in, getting a job promotion, etc. I thought about how I got sick and felt like life was leaving me to being well again. People went forward to share their testimonies, and I felt I was supposed to be out there proclaiming God's goodness to me. "I'm sorry, Lord," I muttered. "Thank you for everything." A few hours later, everyone said "Happy New Year" with glee and excitement. "2023... Please be good to me." I th...

BIBI - CHAPTER 17

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange was happening to you Several months later….. **** Pere removed his glasses and rubbed his aching eyes. He thought about Nneoma. It had been months since he had seen her. He had reached out to her and tried to see her, but she had refused to pick up his calls. Eventually, she blocked his number, and he saw red. He had had enough. Today, he decided to go to her office to see her. A thousand thoughts crossed his mind. What if she wasn’t at the office? What if she had traveled? “Kade, I’ll see you tomorrow.” He said to their office assistant and headed out. “I’m here to see Ms. Nneoma Odili.” He said to the receptionist. “Is she expecting you?” “No.” He replied curtly. “What is your name?” The lady asked. “Pere is my name.” He answered. “She’s not at her desk.” The receptionist said to him after calling Nneoma's secretary. “Wow! But do you know if she’s in the office today?” ...

BIBI - CHAPTER 16

  I t was a rainy Monday morning, and Lara was frustrated by all the traffic. That was one thing she missed about London. Fast and reliable transportation that got you where you were going without hassles. She was cranky by the time she arrived at the office that morning. It didn’t also help that she didn’t have a good night’s sleep. She placed her bag under her desk and sighed. Kofo, her admin assistant, walked up to her. “Good morning, madam. Your first meeting with the people from Duchess Group is in forty minutes.” Lara squinted and then nodded. She hadn’t yet turned on her computer. “Thanks, Kofo. Yes, I know.” “Can I get you anything?” “Yes, please. My regular morning fix.” Lara smiled. “Okay, I’ll be right back,” Kofo replied. She liked her new assistant a lot. In the short time since she had known her, Kofo had proven to be reliable. She honestly didn’t know what she would do without her these days. After getting her morning fix, a cup of coffee, and egg sandwic...
