HE’S BROUGHT US THIS FAR…..

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

5 days ago was my fifth wedding anniversary. Yesso! I’ve been married for 5 good years…hmmm. Really, it does feel much shorter than five years ago that i got married. I look back and am amazed at the number of milestones God has helped me attain within this period - it’s been a mixture of joys, uncertainties, challenges, dreams, hopes and aspirations….the years have been extremely eventful.

HIP HIP HIP….

Monday, October 6th, 2008

5 days ago, my son, Araoluwa, Obaloluwa clocked 1. Yeah, you got it! He’s an independence baby. So many people called, visited to wish him a happy birthday. Interestingly, he got an August visitor’s call - Prof.
Pat Utomi called to also wish him a happy birthday. It was a cool event, watch out for his pictures on facebook. (more…)

MR SUPERVISOR

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Sometime ago, i wrote an article on having finished my course work and exams for my masters programme and how i was given my most dreaded lecturer as supervisor. Since then, i had been going back and forth to get a project topic approved. It has not been funny at all. Up until last week, he has rejected about 25 project topics i had taken to him and had refused to meet with me to tell me why he rejected them. (more…)

THE STORY OF A CHANGED LIFE 2

Friday, July 4th, 2008

The two hot slaps he received initiated him into the cult. After receiving the slaps, he heard a voice in the room which told him, “welcome to the pirates club”. The next night was the initiation proper. It was an experience. From then onwards, he became a devout member, attended the meetings regularly, became a force to reckon with on campus and enjoyed the good things of life - girls, booze, etc. There was no girl he wanted that he didn’t get.

Uncontrollable cost truncates GSK credit rating

For a very long time, even though most stocks in the healthcare sector have not generally been doing well, gsk still did much better than most; but in the last one year, the story has changed… (more…)

PRODUCTS OF INFLUENCE

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Influence is powerful, it could be so strong on an individual that he could find himself doing the things he swore he would never be caught dead doing or doing the things he never thought was possible for him to do.

At the moulding stage of a child, he/she copies what he sees. After going through peer pressure in the adolescence stage, he later develops individuality/independence where he begins to assert himself until he grows old enough to be a person of influence. A classic example is my 3year old daughter who i’ve caught several times saying the things i’d been saying without thinking about them. I knew the influence was strong. She was watching, listening and xeroxing. One day, she used an abusive word at someone. (more…)

THE PAST REVISITED….

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

I was at a women’s meeting last week, it was actually a mix of the single, married and divorced. It was meant to be interactive in nature, people wrote out their questions and sent them over to the facilitators to do justice to them.

One of the questions asked and particularly the way it was answered shocked me. A woman expressed a lot of worry and wanted to know how to handle a particular challenge she was having with her husband. (more…)

This article was taken from the blog of a friend and brother, Praise Fowowe, who has been currently working on a sexpurecentric project whose vision can be summarized by the statement below:

“A sexpurecentric world is possible. Join the madness, treat a lady right and educate somebody right today.”

Everywhere he goes, he makes the following statements which I believe strongly: (more…)

DANCE, DANCE, DANCE!

Monday, April 28th, 2008

At about 12noon today, i got back from Accra where i spent the weekend with my hubby to celebrate my 30th birthday. Though short, i enjoyed every bit of my stay. You want the details of my stay? See me personally :-)

On Friday, I had a party with my colleagues in the office, we ate, watched comedy, they said some things about me and we danced.

Here’s a sample of the steps i displayed on Friday:

OPE O!

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

On Saturday 19th April, i wrote my final paper for my Masters in Managerial Psychology. It was a day I had longed for for a very long time. It was more than a heavy load off my shoulders. Thoughts of “dropping out” had come to my mind a couple of times during the course but i was able to finish strong.

Lest i forget, i’ve seen the results of most of the exams i wrote in the first two semesters and they were good. I really thank God i didn’t back out. (more…)
