So I know I have been far away from you. Well with what has been happening in this Country Nigeria, you would not blame me totally.
Started first with the lay off in my company in January, 2016. I have never been in shock or cried uncontrollably that day, it was as if my heart was wrenched out of my chest. Dear friends and colleagues were asked to leave, even those who you would have thought.. Lie lie they can't lay off this person went. It was a really sad day for the company.
Well I'm here now and guess what? I was a year older yesterday... Hmmmm now I'm into that decade so many things come to mind and many people will increase their questions.. Ah "calls my name" When are we coming to eat rice now? Like seriously all the rice you have been eating since you were born ain't enough for you...lol.
I have entered the age where I simply have to reflect on so many things... Yes I need to have achieved some things at this stage, but for some sad reasons I haven't. Does that mean I will give up? Hell No!!! I am blessed to have great people around me who help with advice in ways I can't even imagine, I am blessed with parents who love me, and yeah you might be asking.. Okay Aunty what of "The Boo"? Well that's for another day. What matters most is I have so many loved ones around me and with time you will get to know "The Boo". (I know some people will almost kill me now when they read this and say who am I kidding, you know you have a Boo...😁 )
So what can I do to enjoy my new year? I must never give up on my dreams, I need to restrategize, Nigeria looks bad enough as it is with the fuel scarcity that doesn't want to end, only yesterday at 21 Road, Festac Town a boy was killed at Forte Oil for Fuel, now the stories coming out from that incident seem funny and doesn't add up, but it all points to the lawless state Nigeria has found itself in.
We are in the second quarter of this year, there is still a lot that can be done. Ideas left unborn, we need to reach for that solution, we need to touch that person that needs our help, no matter how little.
Be not only self conscious, but care for others too, the saying "There is love in sharing" never gets old, when you eat the little you have in love with someone, somehow you automatically get filled.
Nigeria needs our care, it begins with little things like not littering the environment, waiting for your turn (though I know some people will have my head in this fuel scarcity period) lol, but it's the truth.
This year I want to not worry and hand it over to God, and I think you should try that too... But that doesn't mean you should leave what you should do and wait for God to do all for you.
Till I get my juices running again, this is where I get to stop. TAATAA!!!
