MY LOVE STORY
as told by Femi Senjobi


I’m excited that we’re starting a family together, you and I forever. My dream is coming true right before my eyes. I still cannot fully grasp how happy I am. All I know is that my happy tank is full.

I’m happy to spend the rest of my life with you. My happiest moments were the times we spent together. The words you spoke have made an amazing impact on my life. Your prayers are the fuel in my rocket. I cannot yet imagine waking up to this wonder every single day for the rest of my life.

As you probably already know, you are my first, whether fake or real. You are my one and only if we include every person on the queue too. I do not know anyone else, so I’ve decided to make this work. I do not have anyone else, there is nowhere else for me to run. So whenever, I act like I got a choice, swing that waist and remind me that I’m only joking.

I am by no means a master. I honestly do not think I have read enough books or listened to enough people to have a smooth sail and problem free home. In fact, one common thing about the few books I’ve seen is that we are bound to have some troubles. But the past few years have taught me we are stronger together. If we can sail through the mess the Network Providers put us through during NYSC, we can see through anything.

I’m getting ready to give you back all your naughtiness full force. I’m ready to love you all the way, non-stop. Love you to the moon and back. Tickle you till you fall on your back. Finally, play that ludo game with you and whisper sweet things in your ears.

I’m glad I don’t have to watch out to plant a kiss on your lips anymore. As Solomon commanded, I will plant in the morning and in the evening. I do not know the one that will bloom and give me that harvest. I’m glad I don’t have to prepare to leave as it gets dark. The darker the night, the surer I am that I have you right with me for even longer.

I’m excited to add colour, tones and shades to the amazing outlines and sketches from your God-given dreams. I’m excited to add rhythm to those prophetic words of yours. I’m here to articulate and accentuate your amazing gifts and graces. I’m here to frame those eternal visions for the world to see, read and run. I’m here to blow your sparks into flames and shield that smoke until it becomes a fire. I’m here with you, with my hands over yours on the bow; to pull the arrow back harder, so it can travel further and faster, landing a deadlier blow on the adversary.

Three weeks down, forever to go…

Nigerian Traditional Wedding Cakes When it comes to uniqueness and creativity in Nigerian Weddings, our traditional wedding cakes are way ahead of the game. For Cake Makers,  baking a cake for a traditional wedding which is most commonly known as 'engagement' is a time to show off creativity and talents. We know for a certainty that everyone would always look forward to seeing them at these events. In the past, it used to be just common fruit baskets which was quite basic, but now, due to the work of art, traditional cakes are becoming more and more sophisticated, and of course, more interesting. Traditional wedding cakes are usually a showcase of the bride and bridegroom’s culture. So if they are Yoruba,  the cakes usually would showcase Yoruba culture, Yoruba type of clothing and other aspects of Yoruba culture like the Traditional talking drums and the likes. If it's Igbo wedding, the cakes would be baked as appropriate. Nigerian cake makers are really exce

Celebration of a fulfilled life: Dr Olugbenga Kuponiyi How does one measure a life well spent? That question appears very simple, but puzzling when closely examined. Is life measured by the actions taken throughout one's lifetime? Or is it measured by the number of challenges a person overcomes in life. Whatever the case may be, both religion and history agree on one fact, a life well spent is that which leaves a positive mark on the sands of time. The much loved 46 year old father, husband, brother, uncle and friend Dr Olugbenga Kuponiyi who was born into the family of  Late Pa Elijah Oluwatayo Kuponiyi and Mrs Beatrice Kuponiyi on the 28th of October 1970, impacted many people in the course of his life. Little wonder then that hundreds from far and wide stormed Sagamu, Ogun state to pay their last respects and commiserate with his family during his funeral ceremony, amidst cheers and tears. Cheers because his legacy definitely will live after him and tears because even

Couple uses son as collateral for 8000 naira Family of  Ajala Samuel a 15 year old boy thought they could briefly use him to raise  some money for some urgent family needs. But four months after he has been handled over to a Lagos trader, identified as Iya Meta, who in return gave them N8,000, the boy is no where to be found. Sources confirmed that Iya Meta allegedly loaned Samuel to some other traders on the Lagos Island, who paid even more for the boy, N72,000.  The traders were alleged to have further given him out to another family in the state. It's more like a relay race in which runners pass baton to one another. Two policewomen, identified as Titi and Funmilayo from the Ijora Badia division, were accused of harassing the family to refund the N72,000 paid to Iya Meta, failing which Samuel would be forced to work till October 2017 when the contract would expire. His stepfather, Idowu Isiaka, told PUNCH Metro that the family’s problem started in Jun
