This year, I reconnected with old friends, met new people and (hopefully) made some friends for life. I joined the blogger community and had the good fortune to come across some really interesting blogs and the great thing is that they are mostly by Nigerians! The blogs vary in content from the witty to the inspirational. I thank you all for adding color to my otherwise boring days.
We have an endless supply of talent and I'm encouraged that the future of my beloved country is in great shape just as soon as we can *ahem* WRENCH IT FROM THE GREEDY GRASP OF THOSE OLD SCHOOL PLAYERS WHO REFUSE TO BOW OUT WITH DIGNITY.
There's so much good that has happened in 2008. The emergence of the first United States President of African Origin - Barack Hussein Obama is one for the History books. Let's pray that in the coming year as he assumes office God be with him as he undertakes the arduous task of restoring faith and turning around the social, economic and political issues that have arisen over the years.
On the Entertainment front alot of interesting things have happened, it's been an especially great year for Nigerian music artistes both homegrown and international... Artistes like D'banj, Banky W., 9ice, eLdee, Naeto C, Ikechukwu, M.I, and so many others came into their own this year. So many of their songs have made an otherwise dull party come to life.
On a personal note, there were so many things that could go wrong this year and some did, but thankfully God minimised the pain and damage it could have caused. I'm stronger and hopefully a better person for it. I've learned to appreciate little joys and victories in my life more since then and that's a good thing. So personal growth - Check! Family's been a godsend I couldn't ask for a better one.
A few of my friends also got married this year (congratulations to them) which meant lots of shopping and smiling. A few had babies, the most significant was a birth on the 1st of January so you all know where I'll be tomorrow, getting my cake on! Also, thanks to my hairdresser Kehni, I haven't had a bad hair day all year. Work's been great too!
I intend by God's grace to be a better person and to commit myself to His will and purpose for my life in the 2009. I promise to write more entries on my blogs in the New Year, it's no easy task so I pray for inspiration.
YAY YOU! YOU GO! Be Brilliant! 2009 aint got nothing on you! The gist is Happy New Year to all .. see you on the flipside.
