Olaronke ma babe. You are truly a real one. One of my IHS gifts. I'm grateful for the gift of you. You are remarkable, super smart and I truly love how you've taken IHS as your own and helped in diverse ways. You're super efficient and you do all you do with so much grace. I'm super proud of you and definitely rooting for you. Love you babe!!!

Onunwor my boy. I actually remember our first meeting and how for the longest time I called you Dami. I remember how I made you to learn hallelujah chorus and how you took it seriously, now it is actually funny cos if you didn’t learn it, what would I have done to you lol. But you did and that is such a great thing. You’re such a passionate person and I appreciate that about you a whole lot. Please do not ever be discouraged by any occurrences. You can overcome any problem. You’ll do great things Joshua, I am very certain of that. With you I actually feel like a mother lol.

Tos baby. The gentle girl of yesterday is now doing great things in her field. I’m proud of the person you are, I’m proud of the person you are striving to be and I’m definitely proud of the person you will eventually be. You are destined for greatness dear Tosin. I hope you stay happy and never give up.

My baby boy Nnamdi, you know I have a personal beef with you sha. Don’t act surprised. My darling sweet boy. I love how we are still friends till now and how we’ve managed to always keep in touch. I love how you show up for the ones you love especially my girl Pearl. The both of you will still release a song las las. ‘Annoying people’ I hope you know you are capable of great things so don’t ever give up. You are loved by me so much.

Why are we friends again, I’m so lost, because you stress me soooo very much lol. But really, Eromo, you’re a great guy and I’m so proud of you. You’ve done so well for yourself. Thanks for always disturbing me, thanks for always checking up.   You’re one of the good ones. Love and light!!!

Mayowa mi, my guyest guy. You annoy me a lot you know but there is no where for me to abandon you to so yes I’m stuck with you Thank you for always being there in school, thanks for always making me laugh, thanks for not taking things serious, you never let things get to you. You are a great guy and I’m proud of all you’re doing even tho you’ve refused to talk to me. I forgive you tho.

OPOKS!!! This guy, My guy..... hmmmmm, We go way back mehn.  You are indeed one of the best human beings I know! My entire leadership journey can never be complete without me mentioning your name. I will forever be grateful for your (and Mayowa) help back then in CU.  I personally learnt a whole lot from you. Thank you for never judging me, thank you for encouraging me, thanks for believing in me, thank you for indulging me and letting me make you eat ewa goin, thank you for always being so helpful, thank you for your calmness, thank you for always showing up for your friends, thank you for agreeing with me when I needed it the most, thank you for putting me on a high pedestral. You are one of the good ones Ekele, and you deserve all the best life has to offer.  Cheers. 

To my dearest uncle Kunle!! I still remember all the details so clearly like it happened a few minutes ago.  Monday morning, I was in the kitchen washing the dishes when Olaolu walked in and said "uncle Kunle is gone."  You know what I did? I hissed... strange yeah? But that was exactly what I did. At that moment the only emotion I felt was anger... no I would rather say rage.  Anger at the fact that you eventually left, rage at God for taking you. It didn’t matter that I had seen you along with my parents a few weeks before and you really didn't look so good. All that didn’t matter because I believed you would get better, I had faith that you were not going to leave us. But you did.  We had done everything. I had done everything, I remember then in school, we used to have healing services (which was not compulsory to attend), I went for every single one of them. I prayed so much for you. I remember when I came back from school and stayed in Abuja, you were there alo...

Aramide!! Ore me atata. We go way back. I’m glad you joined CUCC, I mean, I don’t think we would have met otherwise cos why will I want to be friends with a masscomm student lol. But its been about 6 years of great friendship with you. My makeup artist of life, business madam, you can never be idle, I admire that spirit in you. Aramide, at this point, I have to say that I am super happy for you girl!! I mean, you’ve gone through a lot with men ( I am laughing so much right now), my goodness…. I just remembered the Ilorin one again, ahannnn babe, you try o but I’m glad you finally found the one. I pray your home is blessed richly, plenty money, beautiful babies, love, joy and happiness. God bless you sis.

Heyyy Gbemsss!!! You are absolutely the best and I'm super proud to be associated to you. Let me tell you something, one of the times I can truly beat my chest and say I heard clearly from God will be the time He told me that you'll be the next CD of CUCC! Let me further shock you, I remember the day clearly, it was 1st October 2014, And I'm glad I headed to His voice. Most times when I see all the things you've done, I'm like "That is my girl" :D  I heart prays for you. You will continuously grow higher and succeed in all you do. God bless you richly dear sister.  

For me, Irene is synonymous to Integrity!!! I love how you don't get swayed by stuff, I love how you always stand your ground, I love how we are total opposites and yet so alike. I love how we have similar value systems. I love how you are always 'out there' and doing great stuff. You take every single thing you do seriously and that is really awesome. You are such a model human being and so prim and proper.  I love how excited you get over the seemingly little things. I love how you are never afraid to try out new things, (could never be me lol). I remember how back in CU, during exams how you will still be dolled up to the exam hall and say "should people know you are stressed by just looking at your face." You are such a big inspiration and a great person, I'm glad you are my personal person. Love you sooo much 

I can’t count how many times I’ve heard people advise women not to be close to other women in their working place. Well, I've never taken that advise in my short period of working and I am definitely glad I didn’t take that advise with you. KC, you are one of a kind, you are kind, loving, awesome and let us not forget, super smart. I am so glad that I got to meet you and definitely work with you. Thank you for always looking out for me. We are so much alike that it scares me 😂. We like the same things even up to hair styles lol.   Thanks for everything kelechi. Thanks for always looking out for me, EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!! I love you sooooo much!!! I am looking forward to dace waist dance for your wedding lol.

I need to start learning how to say your real name Fumnaya instead of your surname but before then, Isichei it is! Gosh, you're such a good person. I'm so glad I got to know you and worked with you. I've learnt so much from you and you're one of the smartest human beings I know. Sorry, once again, why are you so smart, I boast so much with your name sha as per my friend was the best graduating student in chemical Engineering, don't judge me please. lol So whenever you receive this you'll realize that this was what I was writing when I called you. This was part of the reason I called you actually, I remembered how much you mean to me and decided to video call you. And now you are here telling me this great and beautiful news. I am super glad for you and I pray for more success stories for you. Thank you for always having my back. Thank you for all the awesome uni memories. Thank you for always being so genuine. I love how you are always optimistic about ...

My Loisyyyyyy. Gosh this babe, you are one of a kind. Wow, how did I get so lucky to have you as my friend? You are filled with so much wisdom, you are gentle, you are kind, you are generous, you never keep record of any wrong. I am grateful for the gift of you. You’re indeed an inspiration and you’re so reliable. You have impacted me greatly; I love how you always have a positive reaction to everything. I am so proud to know you. Hugs and kisses

Bisola   Abisola omo iya Bisola, my friend, my sister. You’re so precious to me. I’m grateful for the gift of your friendship.  I honestly never thought we will be this close at this point of our lives but look at us now. I would never have it another way. You’re beautiful (nifemi can never stop talking about how fine you are), you are kind, you’re thoughtful, you love easily, rather too easy in my opinion but that is what makes you YOU. Thanks for always being there❤️❤️ My heart blesses you every time. God bless you my darling girl.

My Gracyyyy!!! Geegee of live and destiny, the daughter of my mother, LMAO!!, my super starrr!! We've really come a longggg way, I honestly wish to remember how we clicked soooo quickly, I mean we were not even in the same level but we fast became friends. With you, I have no regrets. You are such a vibe. I honestly find it hard to imagine you as the first daughter like you're so soft, for lack of a better word. lol You are one of the ones that have always been 'there', you've listened to my rants and know some of my yeye crushes lol...  My mathematician, Professor Grace! I sha don't like how you doubt yourself and you do this every time. back then in school you were always worried about your grades but look at how everything ended, Best graduating student in Mathematics, and look at you now, less than 4 years after graduating, you have 2 masters and currently working on your Phd, I can't even remember the country you are in now cos you've traveled soooo...

This babe ehn lol... You are just one of a kind. lol I'm about to use the 'Where will I start from' phrase for you for lack of words, so yeah... Where will I actually start from... okay yeah, so I'll start from where I was actually your violin teacher 😂😂 and you did not rate me and all of a sudden we became friends. I think yours was one of my 'fastest' friendships ever, I mean from being members of same service unit, to coming to your room, to being friends with your friends and meeting all those guys that liked you and to you travelling for IT and getting me that pretty dress. You're such a vibe mehn, your gists those days were epic or should I say amebo 😂..  Don't let me get started on the voice notes.. all join I so much love it. gosh, madddddd You're a friend indeed and I appreciate you so much We've come a long way and I love how distance has nothing on us ❤️ Please dear continue playing your violin and blow quickly so I ca...

My Dear Pels baby,  Whenever I am asked the question if NYSC should be cancelled, my first impulsive thought is always 'off course YES' but then whenever i remember that I met you during that same NYSC program, I immediately change my mind.  I actually kind of liked you when we first met, you were forming gentle, hian.  Family house was not totally bad because at least I 'found' you.  Anyway, its been 3 years since then (even though it feels longer) and its been a good ride. In you I found much more than a friend but also a sister.  We think so much alike and we have similar values, you were the push I needed to finally join children's church in TMP and for that I say thank you. You have so much sense sha, you are a good daughter, sister and you're a great first born.  I love your passion, I love your drive, I love how you give people benefit of the doubt. I won't talk about all our mini fights in family house because it is thing of th...

So I missed an entry yesterday but not to worry, here it is now!! AMAKA Hmmmm Chimuamaka, you this girl.  First of all,  Don’t you dare roll your eyes while reading this Cos you like to form hard guy tooo much  Who would have thought you would mean this much to me when we first met? I can never forget that day, it was CUCC interview and in the normal nature of interviews, you were asked some questions and you gave the silliest replies, you practically made no effort even when you were asked to sing, I remember thinking that what kind of human being is this    Imagine my confusion when I saw you at the next rehearsal, in my head I was like so they still allowed this girl to join,    I was really wondering which kain of human being be this and I still think you are annoying sef Gosh Amaka it’s been 9 years since I got to know you. I I would never exchange you for anything, even one million billion hundred dollars  🤣 You are ...

Dearest Pearly, I remember when we first met, maybe not the day but yes the period, I remember what happened  😅 . You came for CUCC rehearsal and when you were to introduce yourself you came up and the first thing you said was “sing praises”, you didn’t get a lot of responses which was honestly not surprising Cos I mean, only a few people knew the response to the statement, I didn’t even know then, but that didn’t discourage you, instead you went ahead to ‘school’ us on the appropriate response. I remember you saying “ when I say sing praises, you’ll reply with to God”  😁 it was like we were back in nursery school and you were making us repeat the alphabet after you.  😂 I remember thinking how bold and outspoken you were. You introduced yourself and I think at that time you mentioned that you were Anglican and that day I knew I had found a new friend.  The second encounter I can clearly remember with you was when we were informed that 100 an...

Olaoluwa!!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Couldn’t post this here Cos it is for his eyes alone in the future 😅😅😅😅😅

Dear Oluwanifemi  ❤️ , Here is a letter just to remind you of how special you are to me. You being my sister is one of my greatest blessings.  My love for you in unconditional and I appreciate all you’ve done for me.  I’ve watched you grow, I’ve seen you overcome the biggest of challenges, I’ve watched you blossom. You have handled so much and come out victorious. You are a remarkable person.  Even on days we disagree and fight I’m still glad I have a sister to argue with.  ❤️❤️ Niffy, you are beautiful, you are strong, you are smart, you are wise, your are intelligent, your sense of humor is outstanding. So here’s what I wish for you. I hope you never give up on your dreams no matter how big you think they are. Never settle for just anything. You deserve the absolute best.  And when the best comes, never for a second think you don’t deserve it. Whenever you feel sad and down, remember You have a mind that is so special and...

Dear Opeyemi Jasper!  ❤️ Let me start this by saying you are all shades of awesome! Growing up, when I first had the understanding of the term role model or mentor, you were the one person that always came to mind. Gosh Ope you are an incredible being. You’re not only my brother but you’re also a true friend, infact my first friend  ❤️ .  I’m super glad you were born first, I wouldn’t have had it any other way, I mean I would have been so clueless. You practically shaped and modeled us your siblings.  You are so kind, gentle, generous, wonderful and so much more. Even when I continuously stressed you, demanded money and made so many request you always indulged me. I remember how I didn’t even know how to do my course registration till my 400 level Cos you always did it for me.. wow. You’ve literally kept me safe, taken care of me and kept me close from when we were kids even up to this moment. The way you give without expecting anything in return is ...

Dear Folà mí my shade,  Let me start this by saying I love you.  You always said that you made a promise to yourself that your children will never experience what you went through while growing up, well mummy I’m glad to tell you that you succeeded in that.  Words will not be sufficient to appreciate you for everything. But today, through this letter, I want you to know that you mean a whole lot to me. Thanks for all the sleepless night just to ensure we had company while we were reading, thanks for all the parties and celebrations, you always went all out to ensure we had an amazing childhood. Thanks for teaching me Independence. Thanks for tolerating all my tantrums. Thanks for doing all those chores and several cooking even tho you clearly enjoy doing it.  In you I learnt what it means to be a person of value. Thanks for giving me a picture of the sort of woman I’ll want to be: independent, valuable, powerful, generous, and much more.  ...

Dear Femi Okeowo,  You are loved and appreciated.  You have taught me to aspire to be the best in all I do, that I could achieve everything, you have taught me to always take responsibility for all my actions and that self pity never solves anything. You have shown me how to be patient, give other people a chance and never just jump into conclusions and give up on people. You’ve taught me confidence and how to really value myself. You’ve taught me determination and the benefits of hard work, you’ve shown how passion is necessary in all I do.  You are the soothing voice in every shout of mummy, you are the voice of reason in every disagreement.  In you I see a lot of values worth emulating, in you I have more than a dad but also a friend.  You may not have been so around like mummy but your influence was greatly felt and invaluable. Your quiet but strong presence meant a lot.  Thanks for all the laughter, you showed that we can find ha...

Wow... this is my first post this year, and this is the 2nd half of the year already, wow... so much for consistency 😭 Well I’m back and honestly a whole lot has been going on this year, biggest of which is COVID-19. Whew 😥.. I honestly don’t want to talk about it. Well lately I had been thinking about a whole lot of things among which is the concept of death 😔. A whole lot of deaths have happened this year alone and most of them were really good people so it really hurt, and each time anyone died, a whole lot of people came out with accolades and so many sweet words which got me thinking, “why do we wait for people to pass away before we appreciate them” I really feel it’s not fair and all. But, at the same time, the most recent death to hit us was the death of this beautiful and awesome lady, Ibidunni which pierced me and hurt me so much, but one lesson I learnt was how she loved everyone strongly, almost equally and fircely and from what I could see, I think the people around...
