I feel like some people will roll their eyes at the thought of a love struck Husband man. Yup in this day and age that is something we celebrate with gusto. Thinking of not only yourself but also the person beside you. Seeking out happiness for the one you love. I believe it takes faith to love and it's that faith that oils the engine of our work. We work with you as you think through how to express that love. At the beginning of this month our client wanted to make sure distance and time was not a barrier to loving his wife. He didn't sound like he had a plan but his willingness to try was enough for us. At the end of the day, a love tank was full, we reduce the void created by absence and distance abit and so we went to bed with a smile knowing that our job is done. Do I have lessons learnt, of course that is something that comes hand in hand with growing, Change! Happy people love love Confetti and Cake slices Me.

I used a big word today: Kaleidoscope. If I were to play 4 pictures and one word, that would be my word for today. That would be the word that Grammarly would most likely flag in my vocabulary today. I feel many things today, things that I didn't expect to feel, things that I have to allow myself to feel even though I know everyone has passed round a list of expected feelings and thoughts that they expect me to choose from. Picture1: My last office mate and I. Picture 2: My first office mates and I. Today is my last day at a job I have had for 3 years and 3 months. Actually, 3 years, 3 months, and 8 days when I began work there. 3 years of highs and lows, questioning myself, wondering, and second-guessing. 3 years of stumbling, learning, success and becoming good at what I do. 3 years of earning my stripes and asserting myself to myself. For 3 years I have loved, I have worked, I have learned, I have grown, I have invested my life, and today, it all comes to an end. Th...
I have not been having alot of success buying great yam so I ran away. Recently I recieved courage and bought yam, it made up for all the bad experiences I have had. Now the yam is growing and this is good because it should produce baby yams. The only problem is that this yam is growing at my expense. For every nutrient this growth draws out of my delicious yam, it reduces the quality and quantity of good yam I have if I do nothing. What is your yam? What's that good idea, plan and business are you sabotaging because you are doing nothing. What is that relationship, position, activity, business connection that leaves you bankrupt because they are drawing more than they are investing? Take anything in life, any area of your life and reflect on what the fact that you are doing nothing is costing you. You may say it costs nothing, really? I can say that i didn't give the yam manure and all so it's not my fault that it is growing, I will be correct. But my doing nothin...
Hello people, I have been away for far too long, chasing life basically ( but we all know that's an excuse). Today I had a discussion with someone that works as a janitor in my office and I was faced with this question. Are you faithful with where you are? Usually, typical me, good girl routine, moral standards (well the height is relative), and all of a sudden at this late hour, I am testing all my boundaries (well, those that I don't really get to talk about much) and I'm worried for me. Not because those things are bad in themselves but they are things that were never a part of my story and it seems like I have flung caution to the wind. Yes, self-preservation is good but at what cost? Recently, I have asked this question to myself a million times a day. It is honestly never easy. Your mind betrays you, your thoughts betray you, your loved ones betray you because in looking out for you sometimes they all lead you into places that don't align with the ...
Becoming the stature of the fullness of christ.............. What are you becoming? ( a review of Becoming by Michelle Obama)
To measure up to the stature of the fullness of Christ That is my one life's mission. What have you become, what are you becoming, what will you become? I guess I am more of a visual learner even though some of my tests put me on the Kinetic spectrum. So when I watch a movie I do not go to read the book. I heard from the great Ibukun Awosika that she learns from other people's lives through their books and I started seeking out their movies. That is so not up my alley by hey, COVID19 brought with it a flair for learning new things. The one I will talk about today is Becoming by Michelle Obama. I had an ear full before seeing it and was meant to read the book but my colleague happened to that plan. First I loved the visuals. I was well thought out and there is something about a person narrating their story from their point of view, it makes all the difference especially when you come with an image of them in your head. The style was personal and real ...
Hi Guys!!!!!!!!! The whole world is on COVID - 19 reset and we have been basking in staying at home. Over here in Nigeria, @thefixerng is planning her first virtual baby shower and we are pretty pumped. 48hours is enough time to create magic. Shout out to the world-renowned husbands that plan with their wives friends to surprise their wives, they are the coolest ever. Developing virtual games that will engage both the attendees and the celebrant is in the works. The gift is already here and we are excited. Shout out to amazing vendors that concluded a sale in less than one hour. Responsiveness is the hallmark of great business in these times. Met @divib baby store on Instagram and it was nothing short of amazing both in response and prices. Do well to check her out. Some of the lessons I learned from the experience are 1. Be in the moment be present: Feeling the emotions helps me put my best foot forward. This helped me bend over backward to do the necessary. ...
I was particularly excited when I noticed that the messaging around preventing the spread of body fluid and potentially dangerous droplets were adjusted from face mask to tissue that should be disposed of immediately. The speed of disposal made all the difference for me because Africans generally don’t like the concept of disposal. A typical African home has an average of two items that are reused which are originally designed to be disposed of after one use. Further down the poverty line, you will see things like reused diapers and sanitary towels because these basic sanitary items are a luxury. I particularly had concerns when the first set of awareness videos around curbing the spread of droplets were videos on the proper use and disposal of face masks. I felt it will pose a problem because people are used to hanging such masks on their chins. Even I wasn’t aware there were specifications to the use and removal of face masks. As the numbers began to rise in Africa, it sta...
Today I want to focus on one of the scenarios of restricting social interaction with special emphasis to family settings. Based on several sources, roughly over 50% live on less than 2USD a day which is about 760 Naira a day. They have households with an average fertility rate of 5 children. This means they don't live in spaces where they can maintain any form of distance from each other. Africa is closing businesses and shutting economic activities to contain the spread. Unfortunately, this policy direction is building hot spots because, with less than 2USD a day, a lot of the people cannot afford fancy accommodation. Having so many people in one place will not bring the solution we need because these places will just become concentrated hubs. Africa needs an African tweak to a global response. Image source: naijarealestatehub Accommodation arrangements like these abound in many African cities: "One slippers" where people pay for a space on the floor f...
