Wonder who Kobe Bryant was?

I scrolled through my feeds yesterday and I saw a particular face everywhere. I became curious and wanted to know who this person was. I found out he was a basketball player. I have never really been a lover of basketball and I know basketball isn’t a game for all. There are certain features and characteristics an individual must possess before you can be called a basketball player.

Inasmuch as I wanted to know who he was, I also felt really sad about his demise and wondered why a young man would be gone too soon. Well God has all the answers.

The young man was Kobe Bryant, an outstanding basketball player and if you wonder why you could and can still see pictures of him on friends social media feeds and status. This is what to know.           
He isn’t just called a legend in Basketball but for the records, he was an American Professional Basketball player who has played his entire 20-season career in the National Basketball Association with the Los Angeles Lakers. He entered the NBA directly from high school and won five NBA championships.

Kobe was an 18-time all-star, 15- time member of the All-NBA team, 12- time member of the All defensive team and the 2008 NBA most valuable player (MVP). It’s no news that Kobe was widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
He was married to Vanessa Laine Bryant and they had 4 beautiful daughters,
but an unfortunate incident happened and both Kobe and his lovely daughter Gianna and 8 other people died in a helicopter crash on the 26th of January 2020 outside Los Angeles, he was 41 years old.

“Life isn’t about all the steps you have taken or all the places you have been it’s about the footprint you live behind”

This isn’t just a tribute of a man who left his footprints behind. This is a reminder to us all.

Rest In Peace to a Basketball Legend
Rest In Peace Black mamba
Rest In Peace Gigi
God has the answers
#Kobe Bryant

GOOD BYE TO 2024 : WELCOME TO THE NEW YEAR 2025!

Greetings, Friends Since I haven't been here in a long time, I know that some of you must have moved on, even though I know that many of you would be speculating about my return. I'm apologizing publicly for being away for so long. To be honest, 2024 was a lot for me; I needed to do more reflection. Let us begin the new year with a heartfelt congrats. I'd like to wish everyone a happy new year. We can never get 2024 back, no matter how much we make or lose. It has only been added to a list of the years you have spent on this planet. It's only the second day of the year, but it's already a new year. Here's a little math exercise: We have 363 days remaining if we subtract two days from the 365-day year. This means that we have plenty of time to get our plans for the year off the ground. Watch this space because I will be sharing a lot with you this year. I pray that the new year brings us all good health, joy, peace, love, and unity and that we continue to be acc...

My Uk life Series - The Beginning (Planning)

 Hi Friends, This has been long overdue but I think I am in a good place to begin this series. Travelling has never been something on my list. Even as kids, I would constantly say I loved it in my home country ‘Nigeria’ and wasn’t going anywhere. I never knew God had other plans. I recalled making enquiries about Canada’s Permanent Residency and how you had to take the IELTS as part of the requirement. All of a sudden, I was intrigued and tried it. I also made an effort to persuade my husband to do the same, but he shared my perspective and wasn't thrilled about the prospect of living abroad. In any case, we both completed the IELTS and got started on the procedure, but we gave it up since we had a more important assignment that needed our full focus.   In 2021, we decided to relocate to the United Kingdom. At first, it was difficult because I was only starting to adjust to a new state and environment after resigning my 9 to 5 job, and now I had to relocate once more. I wasn't...

Prioritising has been really difficult, but it's also crucial to strike a balance between work and personal life. I'm aware that having many obligations can sometimes make us feel completely overwhelmed, which is why I'll be sharing a few strategies that have helped me succeed in demanding circumstances.                               Identifying the Challenge Identifying the thing you refer to as the "challenge" is the initial coping strategy.
