It can only get better!.....I hope

Sighs,
I did say I wasn't sure when I was going to blog again.
I've been that busy, I only just unpacked the last of my stuffs this last weekend. 
I had to travel to Nigeria as well, very impromptu it wasn't planned but work gracefully gave me some time off so I could go and say goodbye to my granddad. I am back now but to face new challenges....not necessarily bad ones, well I hope. 

This move has been the biggest move of my life so far and I'm not sure if i'm loving it or not.
At this stage of my life, I've lived up north, south east and now I'm in the midlands. 
I must say the midlands has been my least favorite so far. A patient said to me once  "why on earth would you leave lovely Yorkshire and come here" well, welcome to the Midlands, we are all crazy but alright".....in Brummie accent!.

That's another thing, the brummie accent....jeeeeez its so so complicated. I barely understand what they are saying. Its like scouse accent (Liverpool), not sure which is worse! 
I prefer the South Eastern accent, followed by North Yorkshire and again the Midlands is my least favorite. I don't think I have a choice tho, I only just got here so I'm gonna have to live with it for a while.

I'm loving the warmer weather tho and the affordable life. 

Work has been quite stressful. People are so sad. Can't we just all be happy? I mean we spend a fair share of our life at work so why not just enjoy it. 

I'm just going to choose to be happy and blank everyone there....not sure how easy that is with my kinda job.

Well that's my whining for the day done.

Life Life Life

Phew!
It feels so good typing on my PC again!
Its been ages since I last blogged.
Apologies for the very long absence, I have good reasons for that.
I was down with chest infection, after which my hubby became ill as well.
In the middle of this I got a job and we were planning to move not just houses but cities.
Oh I was planning my dad's 60th birthday party too!
Mehn I feel like a super woman having to deal with all of these.
And my granddad passed on to glory too!
Anyways we've moved now and thankfully hubby just got a job too, so no more weekend husband!
I am grateful to God and I feel so blessed too.

It feels nice to be back online.
I feel like I am in a different country in this new place, I was in a very civilized place before but now.......I feel like I am in a new country......the kinda people around here don't seem to care very much.
I was walking to work today and two cars stopped in the middle of the road having a chat!
And there were cars behind both of them beeping and trying to get pass and they just didn't move.
Seems like a normal scene on Nigerian roads but trust me I am not in Nigeria.
I couldn't help but chuckle and pray that God gives me the grace to live in this place.

On the plus side, I look forward to exploring this area.
I miss the fact that I can speak Yoruba anywhere in my old but here there are loads more Nigerians about so no hiding place!
There are loads of Nigerian events too.....I really can't wait.

I am still getting used to work so I might not blog as frequent as I want.


See you soonest

Are Nigerians Unfair on President Jonathan?......

I was sat quietly with my dinner tonight with the TV on in the background and I stumbled over this program on Ben TV, POLITRIKS with Ogundamisi and two other guys,One is for Jonathan and One against.
Loads of people have been calling and expressing their views.
People were saying if you can't take the heat in the kitchen get out of the kitchen. So basically he got to be the president by luck and not that he merited it. Also he is inexperienced for the office of the President, that his wife is more assertive than he is.

People are saying Nigeria is so blessed but people can not manage the resources.
They said he promised so many things but did not deliver any of his promises. Things like tackling corruption and electricity in 2 year. So He has not been accountable and taking responsibility.

Ok me I don't know too much about politics but I know is that during  Obasanjo's regime, he  had a hold of his government, It was when he was in power that we had GSM in Nigeria. He brought biz!
 He told GSM to come and invest  that he will give  them 3 year tax free, well did it work?

Happy New Year World

I can't believe its 2014 already! It feels like yesterday when 2013 started.....

I can't but thank God for how far He has helped me this year.
It feels good ticking off my goals for 2013, indeed God has been faithful to me and my family.
I am very confident 2014 will be better.
