THE COST OF LOVING YOU: A BIRTHDAY MESSAGE TO MY WIFE

THE COST OF LOVING YOU: A BIRTHDAY MESSAGE TO MY WIFE
C. (2018)                   CHIBU NDUBUISI             31/05/2018    WEEK 22

           “The earth has music for those who listen” Shakespeare.
                ” This loving loving no be chop and go”    Tiwa Savage”


   As you advance in age gracefully, “Things Have Not Fallen Apart” with our union but many things have changed. Many waters have passed under the bridge. All the sweet things I told you are not what we seem to be experiencing. Many food items have disappeared from my breakfast table. I don’t have so much money to spare anymore for our adventures because pampers and sundry expenses have carried them all away. But your beautiful heart has not diminished in any way. My dreams for our union have expanded and your knowledge has equally increased in tenfold. It is not an easy road when travelling to heaven as a Christian hymn goes.

I have never done it this way before. I am far from home at the moment. I need to make this critical short term move for our long-term gain. But deep down in my heart, I can hear you chorusing a verse from Tiwa Savage hit song “All over” that “i am your baby for life,  that you want to wake up by my side and  we do crazy things together because it is me and you for life”. I appreciate.

The dreams of building a home of tolerance and acceptance, faith and possibilities have become as clear as the days progresses into weeks and weeks into months and months into years. On 3rd of April 2013, I performed the traditional rights of marriage as required by customs and norms of “Ndi Igbo” (the people of Igbo tribe in Nigeria). It is already five years of our marriage; however, the journey has not been easy.  It has not been a smooth ride because sometimes I was very broke financially but somehow we have managed to navigate the contours of every hard moment from very supportive family members. I appreciate them.
I have selected 32 pictures taken randomly from my archive to show you how we have metamorphosed, transformed and to promise you that the journey with you has been worthwhile.  I will still keep travelling down the road with you so that, we both can keep answering the questions of life that God has given us.

Who is honoured? Asked a Rabbi.  One who honours others is honoured. I use this medium to honour you and celebrate you. You make so much sense.

Happy birthday,  Chinazo!
Happy birthday,   Zomi!
Happy Birthday Engineer Nwanyi Ocha!
Happy Birthday the Fashion Designer!
Happy birthday, Mummy Kassy!
Happy birthday, Mummy Zimi!
Happy  birthday to My Wife!
Many more Productive Years.

Peace be with you.

Rising Africa: A Narrative of Hope. By Chibu Ndubuisi

                                                                                      Rising Africa: A Narrative of Hope                                           07/08/2017 By Chibu Ndubuisi Peace be with you. In the year 2000, The Economist magazine called Africa "the hopeless continent" hence I am presenting a  narrative of hope about  "Our Rising Africa". The story of Africa is not about hunger,poverty, famine,war,  corruption,  tyranny, dictatorship,  terrorism,  child marriage,  genitial mutiliation, unfavourable inheritance laws for women, advance fee fraud, kidnapping,  ineffectual bureaucracy,  failure of leadership, workers not paid their salaries, sexual offences against children, genocide,  poor infrastructures,  diseases etc.i want to present a narrative of work in progress in African countries and how hope is been given back to people who once had "paradise lost". In their book, Execution: the Discipline of Getting Things Done(2002), aut

RESIST ARREST

                                                        RESIST ARREST                                                   CHIBU NDUBUISI 08/2017 Peace be to you. To resist anything requires knowledge and courage not to give in or yield to antics of entanglement. Captivity stifles and limits.  Captivity is not only when you are holed up in a physical place, it is more than that.  Some have developed  life patterns that resist unhealthy, unproductive and needless distractions which stares at us on a daily basis, by the choices they made, they resisted arrest. while some just flow with the current passively and are arrested by ldeas that have fractured the world.  Eighty two(82) Chibok girls were released from captivity by Boko Haram terrorist organisation in a prisoner swap deal yesterday(7/5/2017). The negotiating teams had a noble obligation of  making sure that no matter the provocations, human life matters.   That human life must be protected and provided for at all cost. They

CURSED OR THE CAUSE.A LESSON IN MISCALCULATION AND MISADVENTURE. (1)

CURSED OR THE CAUSE.A LESSON IN MISCALCULATION AND MISADVENTURE.   (1) C (2018)                     CHIBU NDUBUISI                           02/04/2018     WEEK 14 “Be careful what you pray for because you may get it and regret”              Peace be upon you. As part of the electioneering jingle repertoire of former Governor of Anambra State Peter Obi, who kicked off his campaign by waxing philosophical in 2003, by posing two questions to the electorate, he asked; are we Cursed or are we the Curse in Anambra state? Taking into account the plunder and pillage the state has been subjected to by political gladiators with the connections to abduct a sitting Governor (Chris Ngige) and the support of the central government.   For many months, teachers were not paid their salaries during the era of Mbadiniju, who turned from an elected Governor to elected evangelist; he absconded and displayed negligence of the duty of statecraft of fashioning good policies, to declarin
