HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2021 IS HERE! AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ODI

 Hello hi,

It’s 2021, yay! Happy new year to us all. I’m so grateful to be here. As we all know, 2020 had lots of unprecedented events but by God’s grace, we are here now in 2021. I'd like to thank you all for your support this year - thanks for joining my IG live sessions, watching my Youtube videos and reading my blog and stories. I'm really grateful.

As usual today is my younger sister, Odi’s birthday; so this post is dedicated to her. I would have written a poem or story but I’m half asleep so I’ll say a short prayer. I pray for God to continue to guide her every step, direct her path, make a way for her where ever she goes, and guard and protect her. May the Good Lord grant her favour, peace, and success all the days of her life. Amen.

And to us all, I pray that 2021 brings us great tidings, growth, and great health by God’s grace. Amen. Have a blessed year, Cheers!

COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON 2020! MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND HAPPY BOXING DAY

Hello hi, compliments of the season! I hope you are having a wonderful season and taking some time to rest and celebrate with family. Today is Boxing day; my father told me that it is called so because traditionally you ‘un-box’ your Christmas presents the day after Christmas. I believe it’s to avoid the feeling of the presents taking over the ‘actual meaning’ of Christmas (just my opinion 😊). Anyway, I’m sure everyone who got presents has already unwrapped them since yesterday, ha ha. If you did not get any presents, just remember that being here today, especially in the climate of 2020, is the greatest gift from God!

So do you have any Christmas traditions? Typically, my family would go to the village for Christmas and we would all eat rice and chicken, while wearing our Christmas clothes. However, nobody travelled this year and I neither ate rice nor chicken, although I ate some delicious groundnut soup with poundo yam that a friend made for me :P. I was speaking to one of my brothers and he said I did not celebrate Christmas, no rice, no Christmas, lol. But I wore Christmas attire and he did not; so for me, he was the one that did not celebrate Christmas. Ha ha.

Sometimes, I think we get carried away with all the festivities and forget that Christmas is about the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We celebrate this day because without the birth of Christ, there would have been no death, and without the death of Jesus Christ, we Christians believe that we would not have been saved. So, this is a time to be grateful and to show love and care to others. Try to be generous – you can share your food, your time, your voice, your energy etc. with others. Remember that many people are alone during this period and while you may not be able to visit them because of COVID-19, you can give them a call or leave a nice note or chocolates at their door. Don’t forget to say a prayer for your loved ones and for those who are ill, lonely, or suffering. And no matter what may have happened this year, do not give up hope. By God’s grace, everything will be well.

Take good care and have a happy holiday season. Xoxo - UVU

HAPPY CANADIAN THANKSGIVING!

 Hello hi,

It's thanksgiving today in Canada. So that means a public holiday and lots of turkey for many families - and of course being grateful, which is the most important part. I'm about to munch on my delicious fried rice and chicken :) so this is going to be a super short post (See pictures below). I even fried chicken, which I don't remember the last time I did because I've been grilling since I started living by myself.; I did not make turkey but that's fine, next year.

Funny thing is that I have never actually "celebrated" thanksgiving in Canada because of work (I know it's a holiday but there's always a deadline around the corner) and my family does not live around me. However, this is going to be my last year of not celebrating large and with a family, by God's grace. With everything that has happened this year, I cannot help but be super grateful to God for keeping me and my family till this day and for all His provisions. I'm also thankful for all the free food I get, hee hee, and for laughter, good health, friends, love, and so much more that I cannot begin to count. How about you? What are you thankful for?

Happy thanksgiving and God bless,

XOXO

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO NIGERIA

 Hello hi,

Just writing a short note to wishing Nigeria a happy 60th independence day. We gained our independence from Great Britain on the 1st of October 1960. My prayer for Nigeria is:

May she grow taller and wiser

Greener and more fruitful

Get rid of evil and corruption

Develop a good discerning spirit

Join the league of other countries

With basics amenities of life such as

Free water, health care, constant electricity

Good educational system and gender equality shall be hers

May She know peace and progress

And forget insecurity and division

At the end, May She know God and truly become the giant of Africa. Amen.

Happy 60th birthday Nigeria!

xoxo. UVU
