27-27-2022, A memorable day today to remember! 27th November, 1995 I arrived Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam as 23 year old young man entering a plane for the first time without passport and visa, holding just US$5 without knowing anybody.
Today, when I look back and look at where I have come then it can only be by the grace of the Almighty God. Now married with a wife and four young boys. The journey has been a roller-coaster, I have risen and fallen several time but yet I am still standing.
To people, I mean different things. Some see me as bad and all they say about me is negative, some see me as a man they so wished could fall so they can say to others “Did I not tell you?”. Some will help and support you for as long as you don’t measure or try to grow more than them.
While I have inspired some and they want to be like me. Others are ready to stand with me whether rain or shine. For some they admire my contribution in their live but are too proud to mention it. In all, I mean something to everyone.
All of these have inspired me and thought me how to remain focus, precautions and decisive in my decision making. My life has become a moving train with a DESTINATION but so many stops. While many started with me, some dropped off at various stops while the train is still moving with me still as the driver and still picking others willing to join so as to reach the destination. The destination is for the good of us all definite and its unmovable.
I decided to celebrate all this today in a dinner with my in-house family and few very closed friends. I had the privilege to tell my story to my children and those at the dinner table today.
Life is a book, you never know how the next chapter will turn out. I don try sha! Please join me to thank God for his grace that has kept me this far🙏!
