Happy New Year/ Bonne Annee

Hello lilies its been a while, oh don't fault me... been so busy during the festive period. My house was so full. Everybody came to my house for the holidays, from my little cousins to my brother to my aunty to my brother in law....the list goes on and on....but despite the crowd I enjoyed the company.........After all the dinning and partying January 1, 2010 has finally come. Its a year of new beginning, new dreams, goals........... this year much as we write down our goals we should make sure we accomplish every one of them...........now let me gist you a little about whats happening to me......
After all the hassle and bustle of the christmas break, I decided to take a break, so i went to France. 1. to practice the french language 2. to have a feel of the french culture. 3. to rest.
Yesterday 3/1/2010, at 5.30am i arrived Charles de Gaulle airport,Paris. i was a little nervous about the immigrations because of what that Nigerian almost did.......i am sure everybody knows what am talking about...........First of all we weren't given any landing cards......secondly when i got to the immigrations.....the guy just asked me this: vous allez ou? (where are you going) i told him, he just stamped my passport and told me to go.........you can imagine my joy.......
What struck me as soon as i got into Paris was the cold...... trust me its so cold out here which got me thinking : Nigeria is very blest. Our weather alone is the best thing God gave us......i now understand why they drink a lot of tea or coffee in films, its because of the weather. I have been here for just a day and i cannot count how many times i have taken either tea or coffee.
I asked myself why can't nigeria be like the developed countries? We have everything....if you ask me winter is a curse.... but the whites have turned this curse into a blessing while we turned our blessing into a curse.........in Nigeria we have everything, but yet we are one of the poorest nations in the world.......God please help Nigeria...............
For Nigeria to change we each have to change. if you want something changed you have to change yourself....start by obeying the law, obey the traffic lights, do not litter, don't use the phone while driving, use your set belts.......
Notez Bien: little things are the things that make the change in a relationship, family, society and country................... start now change yourself......Start now to pray for Nigeria.....i am positive that we will change for the better one day..... above all I can't wait to come home.
Take care of yourself and hopefully we will talk later......
