Go Shawty, It's your Birthday 🎊🎊🎊

As the lyrics go;Go shawty it's your birthday, we gon' party like it's yo birthday, we gon' sip bacardi like it's your birthday.
This blog post is write to celebrate the life of a very beautiful friend, Benita Iyeli, who was born on this day, February 28th some decades ago(I would not reveal her age).
Benita is an Urhobo girl from the every awesome Delta State in Nigeria, she is a student of BELLS UNIVERSITY, CEO @riiwowlashes, a make-up artist, YouTube content creator.
I met Benita in the prestigious Seat of Wisdom Model Schools, Ekpan, it was the first day of Grade five(Primary Five), as fate would have it, her seat was just behind mine, young Benita was full of life, outspoken, fun-loving, smart(she amazingly still has all this good features).
Initially, we did not hit off as 100% of my friends then were boys, our friendship started because of my appreciation for music, I was singing a certain song by some popular kids at that time, halfway into the song a sweet voice joined, I turned back and it was Benita, we sang more songs from the album(p.s we were no Ed Sheeran and Beyonce).
The next morning after assembly she smiled as she greeted me, I replied back with a smile too, we grew closer day by day, she was the cousin to my best friend then(Fega Eruse), we chatted when possible(because then it seemed like there was this huge magnetic field separating boys from girls, if you are seen talking to a girl you would be termed 'woman wrapper'), three terms went as fast as the waters on a fall, after our common entrance examination she left to Faith Academy to start JSS1(Junior Secondary School 1).
We lost contact till my SS1(when I finally got a phone that could '2go'), I was glad to have a friend back, we reminisced on past memories and she promised to come see me in Seat of Wisdom, I looked forward to the day and I didn't not take too long, she came at our closing hours and we met, I had to admit Benita had grown(well they say girls grow faster than boys at a young age) three years away had done good wonders, I was shy for a bit, but it wore off. We continued seeing each though not frequent.
Time pasted, boys became men😎 and girls started slaying 👸. We are now further up the ladder in our university, so we are a lot more busy and we have some stuffs on our plate, but we still keep contact as friends should do. Of all the changes that come with growth, Benita still retained her ability to be naturally(behind all the make up is still that sweet Urhobo girl). I am grateful to God for bringing her so far and I pray for strength in all her endeavors. Once again, Happy Birthday Benita 🎂

The Super Hero: A Mother

Hi there, this blog post is dedicated to the awesome and super human mothers all over the earth, though today is not mother's day, I feel the need to celebrate mothers.
A mother is not just someone who can bear children and breastfeed her offspring, A mother is a lioness, she is a friend, a disciplinarian, a comforter, a good listener, an amazing cook, a pillar in the family, a hustler and so on. These are some legit high standards set by no one in particular, but that is how the margins of success is judged as far as motherhood is concerned.
Every female has the ability to bring forth children no matter how late, but it does not end there, after birth, the ability to care and provide for her child/children with or without a spouse is what qualifies her as a mother.
Many girls have aborted future presidents of nations due to circumstances or mostly because of their believed inability to cater for the child. It takes the special grace of God Almighty and some good effort to be a mother.
I strongly believe that motherhood does not start the moment a female conceives, I believe motherhood starts at a very tender age.
From age 5 when all your senses should be working, how you treat and care for your siblings both younger and older forms a basic foundation for motherhood.
At age 11-13, puberty is coming like an avalanche, how you process the body changes, how you respond to hormones and feelings of love, how you take the increasing responsibility you are getting at home, this plots the path of your motherhood journey.
At age 18-25, you are now a small madam, you are in the university, how do you treat your fellow females, the younger children at home, which example are you setting for them, how are you handling your relationship with that boy, hope your mum is still not doing major of the chores at home. You are a step closer to being a mother at this stage.
At age 30-infinity, by now the children are coming, how close are you to your God, how are you convincing your spouse that this cute would not take all your attention, how do you adapt to the needs of the baby(banish those thoughts of raining hell on the person that wakes the baby,after you cooed him/her to sleep five minutes ago), how do you adapt to the rapid growth of your children, give them the necessary love, encouragement, discipline needed, how to govern your family( a good woman builds her family, a bad woman tears it down herself), can you make unbelievable sacrifices for your children and family?, how much of your knowledge on parenting have you passed on to your children
There is no handbook on "how to be a good mother", How good a mother you are is judged based on your offspring( how trained they are morally, culinarily etc), how organized your home is and testimonies from other people
So this blog post is giving a pat on the back of all the mothers in the world, don't relent, the world hinges on it, as for the ones who still struggling, I pray God Almighty gives you the strength and passion to be a good mother to you children and also to children that needs mothers when the need arises

A LETTER TO MY LOVE

Every time I see your face it makes me glad,
Every time I see you smile it melts my soul,

My love for you is intoxicating,
My feelings make me psychotic,

You are so small and fragile yet fiery,
You pretend not to care but you’re a mother of the year,

I want to be there in your good and bad times,
I want to be there in your time of joy and weeping,

I long to wake to the sight of you next to me daily,
I long to see you play with our children,

I hope to relieve you after a stressful day at work, 
I promise to listen to the office gossip with the same enthusiasm as you tell me, 

I wait patiently for your pregnancy appetite, 
I am ready to be scratched and punched while you put to birth, 

I look forward to terrorizing our daughter's boyfriend, 
I anticipate the day I would walk our daughter down the aisle, 

I hope we share our old age together,
I long to tell our grandchildren tales jointly,

I promise to be yours forever, to be your soul mate,
Till death, I vow to be by you side. 

The long awaited debut

Hey, 👋 how is your day going? Well mine is going fine (as everyone would say). So this is my first blog post, the idea was initiated late October last year and some procrastination because of the academic delayed this blog, well now I have 6months free from school work so here I am, writing. 
This blog is all about an introvert expressing himself as his heart and mind perform their functions (the thoughts that run in my head is enough concept for a blockbuster movie). 
Usually, I get my inspiration from the things that happen around me, or after reminiscing past experiences, but a big shout out to dh_arnie and cocopops, you guys inspire me in a whole lot of ways, some days stories would be told, other days poems would be written, so just bless me with all the criticism and applause necessary.
Ciao👋
