Iya lanre is a very patriotic nigerian.the type that wakes up to pray for her beloved nation...and always wishes the best for the nation's leaders....
iya Lanre is my mum...we call her AYABA!....
When ayaba entered my room very early this morning....she assumed I was awake...(which of course I was) ....she began to talk about the bliss that this new government will bring the nation....
She said change has come!
I managed to mumble some words affirming what she was saying...i had been up trying to charge the new battery i got for my phone and I had been frustrated when the battery initially appeared not charging....i was waiting to observe some changes in the battery level when ayaba walked in and sat on my bed!.....
She pointed to the fact that it had rained on the day of presidential election...and this morning of the buhari's inauguration,it had also rained too....for her it symbolised the bliss that this new government would bring...she was happy......
I nodded!...my mind was still on the new battery!...*that battery had better charge o!....
Ayaba returned to her room...and I could hear her praying for the nation..praying for buhari!.....
Yeah!....so it's democracy day!...change has come!!!
When I finally stepped out of my room,dad was sitted in the living room,eyes fixed on the TV, watching the live broadcast of the inauguration at Eagle's square abuja.....
I took some moments to watch too!....lots of military and paramilitary parade and some ethnic/cultural dance going on......
Cooking came early for me as everyone was home....*i had to make the family some porridge *
Mum was in very high-spirit,sharing milo and Hollandia milk for everyone for tea!!!!.....
My new battery was charging! And that my friend is a cool thing!....democracy day and inauguration day can go on!...lol.....
By tomorrow too,i will be at abuja to see the new president!....*winks*
I guess I will be running things with the new president!!!!....
Anyways...am happy for the nation too and very much hopeful that this is a new beginning for our beloved nation...the commencement of a long journey of change! Our prayers will be going before and along with this new administration!
Congratulations to all Nigerians who have longed for Change!...its finally here!
Awww!!!...my bugsy baked his first cake after I taught him how-to some time before I finally left abeokuta...i miss bugsy alot!!!
*Mama bugsy,am handing over July 19th!*
He calls me mama bugsy!...
Bugsy's real name is damilola Oladunni..he is the president of his fellowship(christlife campus fellowship).
Bugsy has been concerned about making impact in the life of his fellowship members......
So when he mentioned that he would be handing over on July 19th,it was a call for encouragement.
I had come to know this young wonderful man...i have even brought him to my house...he has a beautiful soul!
i became friends with bugsy at a point in my life where I was confused and indecisive about certain things...he had been a friend who distracted me from worry and cares...I often laughed my ribs off...
And like epaphroditus in scriptures,he often ministered to my needs...(esp food and generator!
I had to encourage him once again like I often do when I was in abeokuta....
*....Bugsy!..touching the lives of people is not in the length of time you stay with them....Jesus can't boast of a 40years in ministry!...he didn't even live on earth that long!...but his 3 and half years of public ministry in the lives of his disciples can never be rivalled. The time you have left is ample time enough to touch lives....besides you and I know a God who can do a quick work and also cut it short in righteousness!....*
To think I myself have only known bugsy for less than 4months....its amazing how meeting some people for only a short moment feels like you have known them all your life!
*i have missed you!*.....said bugsy...
I have missed you more...said mama bugsy!
Ok....ok......so I am supposed to see Xerxes today before he left for abeokuta......
Looking forward to that....
Looking forward to that....
