Coincidence or is it the I AM?

Good Morning to you all. The end of the week has come and the much anticipated arrival of M.I-Mr incredible and my close padi, Mr Gongo Aso- 9ice has come. People have traveled to the province's capital in anticipation of their busting appearances. Everyone has talked about it.
"Seun, are you going to the MI concert?", someone once asked me.
"No." I replied. " I just want to relax in my city, pick up a book and read."
She then asked," But your boy and inspiration, 9ice will be live this weekend too?" Once again, I replied in the negative. "Are you not going to ask me if I am going to festival of praise, by Pastor Adeboye, I muttered.
"Oh that? I actually forget about it", she said. "No one is talking about it. Everyone is talking about 9ice and MI."

That conversation got me thinking so the arrival of that great man of God is less spoken about than the expectation of the hiphop and afrofunk artists.
As God, the I AM THAT I AM, will have his will, and his will alone, he someway somehow found a way to make sure both concerts do not go on, in no part at all the fault of the organizers, who I must give immense praise to for trying to bring us such magnificent artist.
I expect you all in Toronto to make your way to FESTIVAL OF PRAISE, pray and have a good time in God's presence and I will be visiting Pastor Adeboye when he comes to Ottawa on Sunday.
Isn't he great?

SPECIAL DAZE

A man opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package:

'This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package.'

He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.

'She got this the first time we went to New York , 8 or 9 years ago. She has

never put it on, she was saving it for a special occasion.

Well, I guess this is it. He got near the bed and placed the gift

box next to the other clothing he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died..

He turned to me and said:

"Never save something for a special occasion.

Every day in your life is a special occasion."

I still think those
words changed my life.

Now I read more and clean less.

I sit on the porch without worrying about anything...

I spend more time with my family, and less at work.


I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through.

I use crystal glasses every day....

I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if I feel like it.

I don't save my special perfume for special occasions, I use it whenever I want to.

The words 'Someday....' and ' One Day....' are fading away from my dictionary.

If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now....

I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't

be there the next morning, this nobody can tell.

I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends.

She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels.

I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favourite food.

It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come..

Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.

Live for today, for
tomorrow is promised to no-one.

If you got this, it's because someone cares for you and because, probably,

there's someone you care about

Special 10

Its been a while since I blogged. Been out for a while and thought it was a good time to come back. Im going to be giving a list of different things on my mind at the moment.

1. Its May 27-Children's day in Nigeria. I pray for all the children of the world(which I personally believe includes everyone because we were all born by someone) and pray that God continually makes us a source of joy to our parents. They deserve it.

2.There is nothing more important than family. It was about time I knew that. I ask of you all, please take family seriously. Spend time with fam, dont hide things and give them your all.Dont forget-Blood is thicker than water

3. Somebody decided to go into my garage and burn the cars there and ofcourse my car was there too but like I always say, all things happen for the good of tommorrow.

4. Happy birthday to Lola Okegbemiro, I know its late but I never got a chance to celebrate with you.

5. Im really thinking of the possibility of a double major. Change my minor in Economics to a major in Applied Economics.Guess what my main major is?

6. The failure of Ronaldo is the success of Messi and my home boy Henry. Big congrats to all who are affliated with Barcelona and Pep Guardiola- 1st coaching role and you bag a treble.Go on now to greater things.

7. The value of true friendship should never be underestimated. Through thick and thin, a real friend would be there. Please do all to keep those who are you true friends, they are hard to come by.

8. I had lost interest in writing poetry(in part because I lost my inspiration and a source of happiness).Im renewing my interest and taking it a step further as I am going to finish the book I started writing 5 years ago.

9. On the topic of interest, I will be going back to things that made me happy and out of trouble....Acting, involvements in church, song writing and a lot more.

10. Do not call me sean again please. I would not be answering you. My name is Oluwaseun Okegbemiro but you can call me SEUN. Im going through a rebranding, finding my inner mojo and be who I really am. All nicknames known to me having been denounced except MC KamiKaze.

Open Letter to my mama

Dear Mother,
I am writing this letter to express my undoubted and unquestionable appreciation to you for being my mother. For a conscious space of time, you decided to have a child. For 9 months, you carried me inside you, therefore a became a part of you, causing you discomfort on the inside, yet joy in your heart. Joy for what you pray to God I will become.Joy for you have brought a blessing to the world.For years you put me on your back, breastfed me, showered me and nurtured me.
A young strong man I have become. I have given you a ray of hope for the success you imagined. Yet, in many ways I have failed you. Failure to be as honest to you as a child should to his mother. Failure to make you my best friend. Failure to heed all your instructions. Failure to not express all the traits you taught me, selective of only what I thought was needed. I heeded to the yearnings of my youthful exuberance and failed you in ways I would never have thought I would.Failure for not being the genius 'the professor' you used to know.
I am using this day to say I am sorry for these failures. Sorry for the trouble I have caused you. Either with daddy, or the time I was deboarded from boarding school or my elementary school flings and my more recent ordeals.Sorry for I haven't been the best son I could.
Mother,I am writing this letter to say I love you from the very bottom of my heart and make a solemn vow today to make every possible attempt at righting my wrongs, dotting my i's and crossing my t's. A vow to be the 'Telemi' you used to know.
Thank you for being my mother and I will forever love you and be indebted to you.

From your dear son,
Alade
