Today as always, I look back and reflect on the wonderful things that my dear father has made possible. Each time I start from the point where I was wise enough to acknowledge the things he made possible. Had it not been for him: Perhaps I would have still been trying to make one paper at SSCE level or maybe I would have given up; Perhaps I would have still been writing Jamb or maybe I would have eventually given up on a formal education; Perhaps I would have not gotten admitted into any University or maybe I would have gone to learn a trade; Perhaps I would have still been battling with one carry over or the other or maybe I would have given up; Perhaps I would have eventually finished but failed to make it into law school, or maybe I would have taken up a different career; Perhaps I would have made law school but failed to make the Bar or maybe I would have eventually given up law; Perhaps I would have the made the bar but died while serving my natio

The Italian construction company must really be in love with Mr President. Otherwise, why would they offer and why would Mr President accept a gift of a ‘whole’ church building donated to him in his personal capacity. This is happening at a time when nations are tightening Anti-Bribery Laws and when statistics have shown corruption accounts for 5% of the World’s GDP. Was it in ignorance, or is the President exempted from the provisions of the laws on anti-bribery in Nigeria. Transparency International and other like-minded organisations have shown that over 1trillion dollars is paid in bribes annually by people transacting business in other countries.  Nations are no longer smiling with bribe payers or takers even where the bribery was committed in another country. Serious minded Nations have realised the productive uses to which these sums of money could be put. Serious minded Nations have clamped down on foreign bribery. Why then would the President of the Federal R

Yeah sometimes I get all poetic and sentimental like that. I just get overwhelmed and start to write... so Here's my little way of welcoming you all to  February . Congratulations !!!  you made it through January.    It was only 31 days but so many died and so many got hospitalized. So many got retrenched, so many lost their loved ones. so many people lost the will to move on with life. But you're alive. May this new month herald peace and joy in your home and family.  and may the love that this month is know for be more abundant in your hearts and your relationships.  Remember; For God so loved the World that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. Let this example of love be the standard for showing love this month. Have a great February.

I love this post...it just takes me down memory lane, every time I read it.  https://www.facebook.com/notes/gbemmy-adekola/nostalgia/381947046451 Reposted From April 20, 2010. I was at the Federal High Court today even though it was only to take a bow to my name and take notes. It was my first time there after attachment and I could not help but go down memory lane. There were law school students on attachment and my face broke into a smile even as I heard the lawyers say the same things they said last year, “where do these students want us to sit when they’ve taken over the court” I almost asked aloud if they were in practice last year or if they had just been called to bar I’d have thought by now that they’d be used to the fact that students are on attachment for three weeks in April. I remember how that we’d stand around the corridor waiting for available space so we could go in and sit, while in the meantime we would talk about things I cannot even remember right now. Ayo

I do not have the copyright to this article. But I gladly acknowledge the author, and commend him/her for a job well done. I stumbled on this in 2010 and posted it and I loved the argument it generated. O My. I have since gotten myself married, and to be honest, I do not even remember if this mattered. Lol In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question: What kind of man are you looking for?' She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye & asking, 'Do you really want to know?' Reluctantly, he said, 'Yes. She began to expound, 'As a woman in this day & age, I am in a position to ask a man what can you do for me that I can't do for myself? I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man... or woman for that matter. I am in the position to ask, 'What can you bring to the table?' The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money. She quickly corrected his th

I have decide to start off my blog with a repost of all notes I had ever uploaded elsewhere. This Note was inspired after I got my law school result. I was so overwhelmed, I was instantly transformed into a poet..hehe... The things the blessings of God can cause.. Enjoy THE BRAGGING KIDS CLUB Kids love to compare fathers We hear “my daddy can beat your daddy” “My dad’s car is finer”, “if you see my daddy’s office ehn...” Today is the day I join the bragging Kids club. In all fairness and without exaggerating, My dad is all of those things kids brag about and even more At the risk of sounding pompous my father is RICH And believe it or not he’s a king too. The part about my father that trips me the most however is the way he loves me Let me confess that I think my father is partial when it comes to me We are quite a number of children but yet I get special treatment all the time. He’s a very busy man yet every time I call he picks up and listens to me No matter

This is a repost from a note i had previously posted to facebook in 2010. Interestingly it had sparked an argument about my joblessness at the time.  Anyway, I have finally decided to take writing serious and pour out my thoughts fearlessly. Find repost below. So I went to the galleria but remained in the car because I simply refused to be a part of my friend's inspector gadget moves. I found it quite interesting to note that you could predict almost accurately the relationship between two people even as they walked out after a movie. One couple had their arms on the other's shoulder/waist, and i could tell that these two were quite cosy with each other.  Another set came out holding hands which was, well, a sign of comfort in the other's presence. Then came two guys, these ones i concluded must have been bored to have gone to the movies together. Next set was a guy and a girl who were both on their respective cell phones, my opinion on these ones is that the girl
