My former boss,Mr. Steve Nwosu, Manging Director/ Editor in Chief, The Nigerian Xpress during his wedding anniversary celebration recently on Facebook which he captioned as ‘I do, I did, I am still doing’.
In this context,marriage is a continuous growth and testament of the past, present and future except if otherwise destroyed by natural and internal disaster.
And that is how the ‘marriage’ of eating what one wants, living where one wishes and adorning oneself with the best has become a mirage.
Has anyone noticed that the cost of living has increased by geometric and not by arithmetic progression in Canada?
Benin Republic, Nigeria, Cameroon and Ghana are not left out. You hear tales of lamentions from family and friends who reside there.
My gist partner, Agbeke just mouthed on whatsapp video that it’s a global phenomenon.
Can you imagine? Ordinary bell pepper cost $2? Not two but one.
Our Father who hath in heaven.
It’s becoming increasingly difficult by the day and so many people have become homeless and jobless.
The world is not what it used to be. Even the air is polluted. The weather is unpredictable and so is the character of most people these days.
Most food bank now ration stuff so that they would be fair and everyone could get something.
It wasn’t like this until Covid-19 locked us all down and set us partially free.
And it is what it is and what it is going to be. We all have to calm down because it’s becoming lonely at the top. Apologies to both Asake and Rema.
And despite all of these uncertainties and gloom, the Julicare Foundation, a non profit organization led by Prince Julius Adewale Ojo put smiles on the faces of people yesterday.
The NGO in conjuction with donors like St Lazare IGA,St Charles Super C, Mr.Tony Palumbo, Shawn Alteme & family, Sister Julie, Sister Hazel and First Bank, Metro Grocery Store all at St.Charles Kirkland doled out foods,drinks clothings,shoes among other things.
Those stuff including food which may feel old and not fresh for others could be a saving grace for another.
Yes, let’s make the world a better place through giving. Giving back to the society is quite fulfilling.
And here is a reminder of the King of Pop,Michael Jackson classic lyrics of ‘We are the world’.
Oh, send them your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving
Oh, there’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving
Oh, there’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
See you next week
