• Thank God For Succesful Cross Over Into the Year 2022

Happy New year to all my friends, family, particularly members of this platform, well-wishers and associates. I had been eagerly anticipating this moment with bated breath for some very apparent reasons.

2021 may have been eventful for many. But for me, it was as chastening as it was eventful.

It was a year of intense drama and close shaves, a year that sent reverberations across the globe. A year that unleashed levels of fear and trepidation alien to modern history.

Even though death is plainly considered a natural consequence of our inherent mortality, 2021 spewed its fair share of tragedies, from losing loved ones to the dreaded Covid-19 to other shades of tragedies.

On a personal level, I feel inexplicably blessed to have come out unscathed after contracting the virus in the early embers of 2021.

I have no logical or natural explanation as to how I survived it. I can only express my profound appreciation to God for his sleight of hand.

It has been a year of appreciation for God’s protection of my family, my children and my Grandchildren.

The protection of members of the various organisation I have identified within the last year,

To my friends and family at Eko Hot Blog, Eko Club Houston, Eko Club International, Ambsam Memorial Foundation and the 2021 Kayo kayo committee, I am deeply grateful for the camaraderie and the friendship that enabled us to weather the storms we encountered during the year.

I am also very thankful because none of us, despite our flurry of activities, fell casualty to the dreaded coronavirus all through the course of our various endeavours.

I survived the first wave, the second, the third and the fourth wave and was fortunate to crossover to 2022.

The year 2021 may have ranked as one of the most challenging years in our lives, individually and collectively, but we must refuse to be defined by those tragedies and tough moments that threatened our common humanity but rather appreciate God for renewing his mercies in our lives every day.

My wish for all of us in 2022 is for His unfailing mercies to continue to blaze our path towards fulfilling our predestined purpose on earth. Cheers!
