It is Nigeria's Birthday

-
It's October 1st again, a good break from the usual  Monday happenings.I had a good sleep and it was a stay home day for me. I however  could not help but think  about  Nigeria,seeing several  updates by Nigerians  on social media platforms  about  the celebration  one thing was clear to me,people are beginning  to loose hope. It's like year in year out its the same problems....
Unemployment, insecurity, corruption, bloodshed and more negatives pulling the nation backwards despites it's great potential .I see a people pained and disappointed but  I can't  help  but see  that it is out of the love for Nigerians and the yearning for a better Nigeria.
I love Nigeria  too and I love Nigerians. Nigerians  are unique ,resilient and have a very good sense of humor. I encourage  us to stay hopeful, vote wisely  and do something  positive for Nigeria today. I'm not saying  we should stop praying bit in addition to your prayers do something to make a difference.
   My plan was to bake a tasty green and white cake, make a wish  blow the candle and celebrate  but I will save this for another  year. Hopefully  I would find more reasons  to celebrate  October 1st.

What do you wish for Nigeria?
What do you love about Nigeria?
What have you done as an individual for Nigeria?
Share your answers and thoughts...
God bless Nigeria
God bless the people of Nigeria
Happy Independence Day to all Nigerians

Have you ever heard of Gwoza before? Well Gwoza is one of the  local government area  in Borno state,Nigeria that has suffered several attacks. During  one of the violent attacks at Gwoza  a little boy watched his  elder brother and Father being killed.His mother  was deeply pained.Her husband was her pillar and Loosing  two loved ones in a day was shocking  for her but there was no time to mourn the dead and   she knew that the only way to stay alive  was to flee their home.   Now   a widow and faced with the responsibility to take care of  her little son and his elder sister,she made up her mind to keep them safe.    They had to travel on foot hoping that they would  find their way  to a safer town.It was a tiring journey but they were not alone.Several others who survived the attack were also on this journey of a uncertainty.After walking a long distance It seemed as though there was hope for them  until there was another attack that claimed the lives of many and separated

I was curious to know what was awaiting me but trying to picture what lies ahead was not really helping so I relaxed and  looked forward to a good time. climbing the stairs,I said to myself.this it ! Unsure of  what to expect ,I still made up my mind to go all the same.As soon as I stepped  into the room  I could not contain my excitement.for me,it was love at first sight . I was blown away and before long I fell in love with  the paintings on the  wall.  I was not alone at the art exhibition.My friends who happen to appreciate art  were in attendance as well and  were  equally thrilled. Unfortunately pictures are not enough   to express the incredible feeling and the quality  of  the painting we saw.Being faced with a the hand made paintings was really heartwarming. Art  is  beautiful , For a every piece there is a story.At a time these paintings were unreal, unseen , untouched  because they  were mere thoughts ,dreams , colors in the mind  until the artist g

Today I'll like to talk about  my recent adventure.I have heard a few stories  of how magnificent this place  was, I was curious .I wanted to see for myself  too.so when the opportunity  presented itself through  my  friend  Isha and Alwan I grabbed  it like a hungry lion would grab his prey. I was not alone on this mission,we went with our fun team and trust me it was worth the journey. Half way into the journey  Alwan said “ hope you guys know that where we are headed to is a headquarters for terrorist?”I turned to see the reaction  of the rest of the  team, it was a mixed reaction in my opinion on the one hand it was fear of uncertainty  on the other hand it was excitement  of  the possibility of an adventure of a life time(our team can be that unrelenting) but then  Alwan quickly  added well that was in the past.So it’s safe. The welcoming Welcome                                                Leelee the friendly horse and my new friend      When we
