So on to the #Thanking...
Its my pleasure to introduce(Wait up!did I mention how grateful I am for the privilege to inspire others to a lifestyle of #Thanksgiving through this challenge?) Ehen,as I was saying,its my pleasure to introduce another one friend I successfully harassed to join in the challenge..Hehhehe.Wokinda Saresihn(pen name)We  got acquainted in my hey days on Fbk only to learn we were in same uni at the time(he's a graduate now sha.).This virtual world sha.

Let's welcome him with a standing clap-vation(I coin new words too).

 This is someplace outta the world, not the 'norm' we have been used to for the past 20 days (LOL). Call me the scarcely religious dude, the upwardly mobile (though often indoors), but I sure know how to be 'gratitudinal' sorry appreciative to God of everyday marvels in my life.

Yea, it wasnt just fun today, it was fun-filled too.

I returned to Ibadan, after about 4 months away NYSC-sojourning in "No yorubaMan's igboLand", and my brain being filled with the 'difficult' language of Coal City region I decided i've had my fill lest i run mad; and so I ran away for a while. And so all i have been eating with my friends is bought (suffering)food- you know bachelor's struggles now. But we threw in the gauntlet today and decided to buy some kitchen necessities. Now picture 3 guys following one another around the market and buying things we traditionally expects our 'wives' to buy. We cooked it ourselves and I must disappoint you by telling you this - the things we cooked was sweet despite spending a record 3 hours plus preparing everything. Dont laugh!

I have a dream of growing my cheeks into sizeable proportion before I return to 'sojourn-land' so dont blame me, I ate the delicacy to maximisation. Dont ask what we ate, that's food-for-another-day.#Thankful.

And PHCN, they tried to spoil the fun-day for us but thank God for generators, PS 2 gaming, whot (cards), phones charging, connecting with the globalised world; a few friends came calling too. Please dont envy my little side of the world, I'm sure you had a better day.

Did you also notice the weather was below normal temperature today? I mean cold. That's the kind of weather some people call weather-for-two, sorry weather for 'tea'. You may want to grab a hot tea or soup, sweater, pillow or quilt (only if you you are Dangote's child though) if the chill still persists till now.
#Grateful for the weather&materials that protect us from the elements.

It's not a Sunday so there's full license to lounge on a neat day like this in this country. That seems to be the only thing keeping us going: the little things of this world which we make one another happy with- enjoying one another's company, eating good food, asking after one another, celebrating with one another and so on, we must surely be thankful. The day had its lows too but highs cancelled out the lows, and that is. beautiful enough for us as individuals to appreciate God for giving us the opportunity to experience life. Yes, we are better than Angels in this.

And this is why Nigeria still stays gummed together, cos we are thankful for the Grace to live everyday by its cover and most especially because we should always be thankful.



*hands Lizzie the mic*..Thank you Jimi!
P.s;Its 11days to go....
Whooopp-whoop!...*dancing the famous one legged dance*...i'm in awe of God and His workings...don't you just wanna salute Grace for commitment?..
