Life
What is life? Life means different thing to different people. My experience in life has made me to be more wise than my foes... Of truth " life experience is the best teacher" and the best school of thought is the people we believe in. When I was baby I enjoyed life to the fullest. I got the best gifts from my mother. Life was indeed beautiful for me. But the story changed when I lost my mother in July 7, 1997. However, the death of my mother coursed a lot of set back for me and my siblings... I did'nt give up on my dream in life. My education was my priority in this time. When mama died I just graduated from elementary school... That was one the darkest stage of my life. All rich family and friends were nowhere to be found. All hope seems lost. I'm sure you will be thinking where is Daddy in this time? Hmmm! That is another story. As a Teenager I have the priviledge to experience the good and the bad times in life.
As a Teenager I intended having an NGO and to become the youngest Publisher in Nigeria... I thought because I was Privilege to have rich Family and Friends and knowing a lot of Rich and Mighty in the Society could help to actualised my dream. Again when I got series of award from debates and my Poems in high school: I thought that is the beginning of Journalism. I still remember how I chated with one of my teacher Mr Taiwo Onipede who adviced me to go to the Nigerian Institute of Journalism. I did as I was instructed by him. When I got to NIJ in that year, they just reopened the school after a long shutdown. I met Mr Taiwo Adebayo and Mr Amaso Jack. I told them I want to publish a Magazine: tittle; Taking Nigeria to a greater height" Mr Adebayo introduced me to Mr Ademola Adegbamigbe. ( One of the desk Editor PM News paper) PM News is evening News paper in Nigeria. During the trial of my publication I met a lot of people who I actual thought will be of help in one way... I met Mr Etti formal Ojo Model College Principal. Who promised to introduce me to the Governor of Lagos State at that time ( Bola Ahmed Tinubu). After several telephone calls and meetings without any result... I move on with my life.
I gathered Materials from Students and Institutions for the publication of my Magazine. All these Materials ended up in Lagos State University; when the actor Sola Fosudo of the English Department in LASU ( lagos state university) introduced me to lecturer Yomi Ogunwumi to edit my work. I knew it was not going to be easy and no one is going to pay her for the job. She showed me positive energy and that made me to believe in her... I did all I could to make sure this dream come through. After a lot of disappointment; I continue with my life. As a child, I said when I grow up i'm going to have a Domain , I don't know if this word exist then; I remember someone once asked me what is a Domain? And I replied it is a place where people will come and eat and drink without money. It is HOPE house. I dream of having a church, market and home for the homeless in my Domain. This is my biggest dream yet to be actualised. I also shared my Magazine view with Jacquelyn K. Heasley who
was very happy and ready to support... I may not be where I want to be in life but one day I will get there.
I am using this oppertunity to reach out to everyone who will come across this post to help as many people they can help. Many orphans are crying for food in Africa and thousand of them die every year as a result of starvation. Hmmmm what a life! Less I forget, please suport new NGOs I see this as a way of development. Let start from the grass root. My younger sister just launched one recently. All the way, this is part the story of my life. Still fighting to launch my NGO here Germany along side with some like minds. Tag: Movement against poverty and disease in Africa ( MAP).
