I'm learning, I see the different updates... I'm hoping there's should be a Book On • How To Date A High Value Woman, Lets not forget to add a full lined up strategy of ; • How To Capture The Heart of The Boss Lady. If this is what you want as a Man, here's an appeal to come prepared for the above class of woman stated.

It's the simple things That makes life sometimes meaningful Every morning, I'm greeted by a Hausa Man, Blackie, good morning, Beaming with smiles. How you de ? You de go work? Sometimes he'd say; try bring something for me when you they come back.

You see, I loved this Man, revered His works. I aspired to attain similar heights So when I heard He was coming to town, alongside others in the industry, I transferred my allowance to the designated account and signed up for the demo class just to see Him.

We stayed for probably a week at his lux apartment somewhere that felt like GRA, I was really drawn by the serene atmosphere of the Private Estate and the joys of the yuletide season, because that was when we visited. So, as a child this experience engraved deeply as a beautiful memory and I longed to be back some day.

So while it's still easy and possible, Its not too much to expect the simple Things in life. Happy days and loving nights Genuine.and sincere friends who care And will go the lengths to show you. Who are willing to fight for you Fight with you And appreciate your Value.

There was also a stretch of Bathrooms, Rest rooms and Kitchens detached from the main apartments. Every tenant had their own set. One had to be seen towel tied firmly on chest, bucket and soap dish in hand every morning. I found this quite discomforting, I was very shy as a Chld, and my teenage days weren't any better. By this time of the Morning Grand ma's worker's are already caught up with pastry preparation for sales.

When one goes off the radar and people wonder, Oh He/She was a one time wonder Or such a wasted talent etc... And people be like oh what happened to the music artiste? Where's this actress/ actor now? Na wa oh ! You sure say this person still dey the life so?

The thing is, I am a grown and Seasoned Woman, Who has repeated patterns for long years without actually realising, But has come to the knowledge of things I know the difference I've seen it before... I've heard those words before.

One day almost 2 years later, I was talking to a friend at the bakery balcony. I looked up and for an unbelievable moment I saw my friend gently walking towards my office like he never went... We returned the looks of acknowledgement. But said nothing

He is what we can call an emotionally detached and unavailable person. He's a master at it. When we realised, we learned to live with the fact that he may never remember to call , neither will he remember important dates. We loved him, nevertheless. We were better together, all 3 of us. The crowd that synced. The first major twist came when he wanted to drop out in our final year, so unceremoniously. We looked at him in awe when he reeled out his reasons. And just wondered what had possessed him. Arguing with him was pointless,

3yrs into their relationship they couldn't be more happier ... She had stayed over for the weekend, As he prepared for work in the morning he asked ; What if you meet someone Alot more than I can be to you? More money Good looking and all that?

So there's this thing that happens where I have over 6 things going on in my head simultaneously... Its a major distraction, I've asked God to help me especially when I'm in church I'm thinking about a check

At this point it was necessary that they could marry me to the Brand. I became more intentional and strengthened all my alliances, by providing value. Knowledge is Power! you can't be in the presence of knowledgeable people and not be able to equal intelligence or basic relevance. What do you know? What solutions are you proferring within your network/ Circle? I was hitting boardrooms and meetings with growth in mind, and my vision constantly in focus. I needed to launch out and be seen and most importantly heard! Blu Cakes had given me that VOICE...

In the year that the love he and I shared, went sour, some days felt like I couldn't breath or focus... yet, I had meetings with stakeholders, turned up for meetings with potential investors and associates. I read, planned towards our 10th anniversary and Outlet opening and actualized early the next year 2014.

There's a limit to what the physical man can take, Pain is deafening Heart numbing And seriously blind siding I got thinking about what had changed... In 2010, a year in which I had nearly crossed to the other side,

I noticed that she had changed, Her laughter doesn't nearly hit the eyes. The only thing this last romantic venture may have done for her was, some few months to believe yet again, And be genuinely happy once more.

But the tears and the hurting in my chest indicated differently. I Stood up hastily from the reception area of my office, into my personal office, hands trembling, and one of them clutching my chest as though to stop the loud beating of my heart.

It is one thing that Mr Akpan had suffered great loss, but, the thoughts in his head was too riotous and a taboo to voice it. He never outrightly did. I didn't even get the clue that his casual remark about how the Internet provides information on how to commit s.ui.ci.d.e was a silent plea for someone to look inward at what his intentions where.

...He always appeared neat, noting out of place, well tucked in shirts, polished and shiny shoes, very well groomed. I was young just 16, and it was the first ever time to know the profession of cooking in such a glorified way...

She seemed to have had a moment to digest what her Aunt had said, I feel like it sounded like a threat to her. After that moment of silence, she blurted out firmly I will fall Down! In a stubborn and determined way. She had responded to her Aunt with her own threat matched the same energy!

Last year was my year SEASONED WITH GRACE and now that I look at it, i needed the grace for another turbulent year in my life. Now this Year is My SEASON OF REST AND SPLENDOUR. My Splendour has kicked off long in my mind... These words or more like the theme for my year comes to me in my prayer time. I'm fully aware of my utterances. The word splendour got me excited. It is high time to enjoy the benefits and rewards of God's Love. And it is high time for it to show in a glaring and glorious way!

You, know, most of my folks and some secondary school peeps thought that it was out of the frustration of not getting a white collar job, was why I succumbed to Baking Cakes. I laughed,.when I heard it then.18years in Business suggests it started even before I could ever think or need a regular job. Being conscious of who I am and aspiring for heights hit me early. I didn't just want to trade Cakes. I desired to build something sustainable. And so I studied, developed my business sense, learned on the job,

I Love to come back home to fresh air, clean floors and sheets to sleep on. And of course, groceries and laundry done. So, I've had a housekeeping done since 2020, when I caught a fever from obsessively cleaning at almost midnight after coming back from long hours at work! I'm like! Please I can afford help here. All these is geared towards being more efficient and productive in my single years as an entrepreneur. Make the money, Gratify yourself later.

...I have Blu Cakes Nigeria to thank for the experiences garnered, it is now turning to a potential fortune in my hands So, I have my plate full. And then I get back home to talk to my long distance soon to be, With an interesting accent and a serious time difference between us.

This is no rat or cat It's way heavier And the nights it decides to stroll in with its quick tempered lover they bring their quarrels here .And they fight, Its just on another level of inciting as it makes my skin crawl.

So you see, on the notice board the result sheets had lets say, 350 students who sat for the exams. But the attendance that the lecturer put forward had just about 230 0r so students, what happened to the other 120? were they ghosts? How come they have results and they never sat for the exams?

He paid someone, an aide of the lecturer, He had access to another booklet which he rewrote after the exams and outside the hall premises. All in the bid to perform better. So this guy, the lecturers aide who ought to know better. Went back to plant the new script and remove the old script.

I knew already by my 2nd year that I would not make the honours list The sadness that enveloped my heart was great but, just there at the result board I decided that what was worth doing was worth doing well. And that I would do it for myself and just get the satisfaction of proving to myself I can get good grades even if 1st class or even the possibility of a 2,1 seemed awfully bleak.

Two days Ago, my Maths teacher responded to my status with a thumbs up; You are doing well. It meant a great deal to me. I Honour You Sir, Cyril Kiwamu He once asked me why I remained so passive in class. I never responded even to that question. I had begun to develop a fear for maths. I always take in my new environment and my silence was my weapon of protection from whatever intended to crack my cool.

At some point some mature adults, two men and a lady joined us in the taxi and within a short while, we realised they were members of the same family who had just heard of the sudden death of their aged mother and were taking swift action towards getting a few things ready so they could quickly get to their home town.

His sleeves rolled up, and hand firm but gently gripping hers like it belonged there, her blue classy dress, her legs walking in those pencil heels, just created a perfect picture. He took her for a walk by the pool side. Hand in hand it felt perfect, the night was as though it shouldn't end.

In my year 3 days in the University of Port Harcourt, a real analysis class, my lecturer walked close to me, looked at me and back to my class mates, is she in this class? They echoed a yes, he stooped and leaned closer, Do you talk? Yes I do Sir, His eyes popped wow! She can talk! And they all laughed while I gave a wry smile.

They had been catching feelings and getting close, but she soon realised that his affection, was like party jollof rice shared to whoever turned up.

Babe quit making it hard, I need to go see a colleague of mine he said softly, eyes pleading, because she had basically trapped him in her arms, giving him pecks intermittently .

But then, the passionate side of my life calls me further and deeper, entangling me with the very fabric of complexities we call human nature. Its rather an unfortunate thing when a beautiful soul meets unsincerity. I'm the beautiful soul...

....Months had passed. He had noticed she no longer complained, He feared the chances of loosing what they had. But he felt helpless, And couldn't figure out how to fix it.

He couldn't get anything other than her on his mind after that text. He may have missed the first major attempt to give her that kiss signal, but he wasn't about to pass on this, It was time to take action on this green light, be in charge and act cool.

She didn't know whether to be surprised when he finally spoke to her, in that she knew it was providence. Oh he had a cool accent to match the good looks, oh well!

I wear a gold plated bracelet with "Blu Cakes" engraved on it( It is one of my many benefits of being a Teacher) my Ghanaian students gifted me, it reminds me of Who I Am everyday, And why i can't afford to utterly fail. It is one thing to fail, I have experienced this, but to utterly fail, I don't intend to and will not experience.

However, I'd like to say the door has now become a fast revolving door ushering people to the highway. People have come so fast and left also. In this I have had to understand and learn things the hard way.

If you have a very strong imaginative mind, you'd realise that every time you were told ; There's light at the end of the tunnel, you didn't quite see yourself in the company of a loved one. Strolling in that tunnel, whistling and you know. Swinging hands.

Gone was the gentle soul who kept calm to resolve issues or just overlook. In her place was a young lady raging, and going by all means to express it. Her anger was shattering the silence, being very confrontational, hitting walls, shouting in jealous rage...

Trust isn't the absence of information that has the potential to hurt. Trust is deciding not to look in...at least that's what I thought.

I feel like I have a split personality , I enjoy my true self who loves the tranquility of her space and lives in quiet areas, where the sound of the clock and droplets of water disturb my peace.

It was the longest night ever, that began the birth of other long and terrible nights in which I had hoped that my eyes will at least close in sleep, but no, it didn't happen.

I've been wondering lately on how to conquer certain challenges and I'm perplexed. Its overwhelming to say the least but, I've wondered what God wants me to do in the situation, like okay, yes the Grace has been made available, yea,.so now that its pressing us like this, are we to sit and watch with crossed hands waiting on the 11th hour?

Its a 7-.10min walk to my office, 10minutes is when I'm taking a leisurely stroll, which I barely do.. I'm told I walk too fast for a lady... Lol, it is what it is, I'm in a hurry to go do my work diligently,the.bible hold a promise for me based on that. Im in a hurry to fulfil scriptures. We aren't playing here lol! I nor dey Port Harcourt to shoot kite or fill zobo cup.

It is said that there's strength in silence, I can't tell if that's the actual way it is put out. But, I just know that keeping calm when you know the root cause of your challenge or the person who taunts you or causes you pain from afar its actually not a beautiful walk in the park, enjoying the evening breeze kind of thing...

Truth is, I have a nack for sensing things, but I tried to caution myself like, hey, don't get paranoid or something, yea people did stuff doesn't mean there's now something sinister about everything. Oh ,so I tried to calm my nerves.

Something sinister had stirred up in me one of the days we were having a conversation, and I'm like, so, you say you saw me on TV yea? So tell me how this happened for you? Did you just bump into it, or did you tune in? And Bobo kinda froze and got defensive, and said aren't you a public figure? it was an unsettling feeling for me.

Fun Facts Fiction & Trivia....So, Upper weekend i went to hang out with the guys yea...we all converged at David's. We had laughs, It was absolutely fun...in the midst of all these, my life remains my reality, As Blu Cakes Numero Uno, The Business , my personal life & the realities that are harsh...
