If it's raining in any part of the world you are just as it's in Lagos, just enjoy the blessing it will bring.

A Year Journey on Blogger

 
I can't believe it's 365 days that I started  blogging, just as we say "how time flies".
 
Starting was a big issue because I had no idea what Carrefour should look like, I had so many ideas on my head but somehow I knew I must start something and finally I started with so many checks on different blogs from Linda Ikeji's blog to A wandering Sole and many more blogs.
 
To all the bloggers that have inspired me with their spectacular blog designs I must thank you for not minding my copycat habit of your wonderful ideas.
 
I just can't stop thanking my mentors who have encouraged me to nurture this new found love, Big Oji, my classy editor, how can I forget the late Mr. Amadi Ogbonnaya aka Ogbuefi of the universe, entertainment editor of class, my friend and big brother Mr. Innocent, my original Ibo brother, Halim Mohammed my impromptu editor, my Aboki to sure and Olukay thank you for not mind my pestering you to read my post.
 
It has not been rosy but it has been quite interesting journey.
 
There are days I don't have any idea of what to write about  and some days ideas flow freely. Can you imagine, I'm behaving like my journalist friends because I see everything around me now as a potential story material.

........Good Night Compatriots

Dear Compatriots,
 
It exactly a year since you all left this world.
 
I do not have any close friend or relative among you but I do know some of your friends, I have met a parent who told me he lost two wonderful God fearing children in the ill-fated Dana crash on Sunday June 3, 2012. You were all our compatriots, so in away you were our families.
