HAPPY NEW YEAR dearest readers. Welcome to 2013, a glorious year with great FAVOUR and unimaginable things to unfold. Are you ready??? You better be cos there's so much to expect.
First I'll like to apologise for being silent all these while; it's been two and half years since I last visited Nigeria and I don miss Naija too much especially family and friends. So I spent Christmas in Nigeria, ate all the isi ewu (goat head), oha soup, afang soup, kilishi, bush meat, ugba etc. You know that feeling you get when you leave home and come back to see your younger ones all grown up so much that they're now taller than you (not funny). I was impressed, not just grown up in height but in maturity too; I was a fulfilled elder sister cos that means I laid a good example for them. I also got to re-unite with college friends who I haven't seen for almost 5 years. The whole experience was fun!!! The pictures below say it all.
Yours truly...simple but stunning

In line with my post yesterday about the World Humanitarian day, I received a mail from UNA-UK (United Nations Association of The UK) to its members urging us to do something good for people to mark this day. While I was still looking at the email, pondering on what to do/how to help someone; my whatsapp tone beeped and this is what I received: A call for help for Funmilayo Lawal.
Hello people! Pls help my friend Funmilayo Lawal recently diagnosed of a MALIGNANT SARCOMA, a kind of cancer at the shoulder region. The cancer has become so extensive which might affect some other parts of the body if a surgery is not done as soon as possible. It could not just cost her hand but its life threatening. Pls help, the doctors required that she should go abroad to do it within 4 weeks which will cost $15000(4Million). Pls help save my life.
Account No. 0002855164 (GTBank)
Account Name: FUNMILAYO LAWAL
Please let us make a difference in Funmilayo’s life. A little donation from you make a very big difference in this fund-raising so no amount is too small. If you live in UK and want to make a donation, please contact me on lynnville1@gmail.comwith the subject-Making a difference for Funmilayo.

My humble self (Baba God pikin)
On my own, I am not the best neither am I the most experienced; but He believed in me enough to choose me. If He(God) did, therefore, I believe I’m the best cos He said so.
8 May 2012…
I walked into the building that Tuesday morning, looking all radiant and corporate in Grey blazers, white shirt and black skirt (feeling cool with myself), there was someone at the reception to receive the new intakes and directed us to the meeting rooms where the induction will take place. I adjusted myself and settled into a seat just beside the door; 9am, 9.30, 9.45am…finally there was someone here to speak to us. A lot was said on the first day, the job function, code of conduct, dress code, the normal induction drill when you start a new job. The next thing was training and then getting into the job proper; as usual you’re expected to perform and show those skills you quoted in your CV (lol). It’s the same feeling when you graduate from the university and peeps tell you, “welcome to the real world”. Because after everything is put down on paper, the time will come to practicalise it and find out if it’s actually the same. But believe me, it is not always the same cos during training you are not exposed to the main functions as to when you’re doing the job directly.
I’m sure you’re wondering where I’m headed, don’t worry I’ll get there soon.
So the D-day finally came. Lynda O-me-r-ek-pi (oyibo man murdered my surname)…I sha stood up, and he said “you’re on the fourth floor; follow me”. I was led to my desk, had to set up my system and phone extensions. Anyway to cut the long story short…It was time to face the real world. Now I had weekly targets to meet (not marketing) and the thought of it alone was scary and I didn’t know how to go about it. But one thing I knew was that God allowed me to get to this place and will definitely not leave me alone now. In my mind I just said “Lord, we’re in this together”; after that thought, I felt encouraged and ready to face the challenge. It was like an adrenaline rush, all my fears were gone and I just wanted to get into the game. From that day till date, God has done so many things that I do not know how to thank Him, words alone are not enough and I just wanted to share my excitement with you all. It’s been a smooth ride, surpassing every hurdle and challenge, everything working in my favour even when there were office obstacles standing in the way. Above all I have always surpassed my targets by 50%. One of my colleagues yesterday made a comment; he said I was making those who’ve been there before me feel like they are not working cos I just came in and picked up with speed, aiming for the same kinda targets with them. And I smiled and said, “it’s by the grace of God”. And sometimes it’s very funny when some people look at me in amazement and say things like “I’m surprised” or “Wow… I didn’t think you could do that”. I just laugh cos they don’t understand, and guess why? Cos it’s not by my ability, but the GOD in me. He chose me, predestined me, justified me and enabled me. All I can say is Baba God NONI, ESE, IMEELA.
So at work, in school, wherever you may be, let God be your guide, your backbone, your partner. You’ll do exploits. He wants to be a vital part of your everyday life, even little things as picking out clothes to wear or hair-styles to make (yeah,…very very true cos I’m a witness). Many times I go to bed not knowing what to wear to work the next day and in the morning I stand in front of my wardrobe and ask Him to help me pick out something. It’s really funny but it works cos just on Tuesday I asked for what to wear and He showed me what to wear for both Tuesday & Wednesday. The shirt for Wednesday had been there for almost 3months and I never figured out what to wear it with but just in a second, God sorted that issue. Not like the days I try every dress in my wardrobe before finding something, NO...I just knew what to wear. Guy/babes…you should give it a try. That’s God for you, He always does exceedingly abundantly more than you can ask. Always ready to blow your mind and take you by surprise.
So when next people wonder at the kinda things you do or how you do these things; just tell them…It’s the God in me.
These songs by Mary-Mary have been a wonderful inspiration; pay attention to the lyrics and get the kinda vibes I’ve been feeling.
So if you see me looking so fresh, looking so fly, looking so cool..what you don't know its that it is the God in me. :o)
Thank you Lord for all You’ve done. Baba God Noni.

WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF MAY. I hope you had an awesome April, mine was loaded with favour and blessings and testimonies and I guess same happened for you too. Perhaps there was something you really wanted to achieve or something you had asked God for last month; don't worry it's not too late. He's never late or too early, but always at the right time and i bet He knows the best time for you to get it. So in this new month, MAY all your heart desires be granted much more than you can ever ask or think. MAY God's favour and blessings be upon you and in your homes in an ever increasing measure. Don't let anything stop your shine cos YOU are the glory of God and He is going to show the whole world how precious you are to him. Expect great things this month, Cheers.

Hi dearies, welcome to the month of APRIL. There's something remarkable about this month, it is starting on the first day of the week (Sunday) and this is very special. There's going to be showers of blessings, unprecedented favour, abundance of grace, open doors, and many more.
Joke of The Day
An atheist decided to file a petition on the grounds that Christians have so many holidays and celebrations like Christmas, Thanksgiving, Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday but no day is set aside for the atheist to celebrate. On the day of judgement, the judge asked the atheist to plead his case and when he was through, the judge dismissed the case. The atheist was furious and demanded for justification; the judge told him that there is actually a day set out for atheists and if he was aware of that, he wouldn't have made a case in the first place. The judge turned to Proverbs 1:7 which says "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; but fools despise wisdom and instruction". The judge told him that since he doesn't fear the Lord that means he is a fool and the official day set out for fools is April 1st (hahahahaaa), so the case was officially closed. The atheist left without further argument.
