Fighting to stay Active

 Being more active from the last quarter of 2020, and still managing to graciously carry this through into the end of the of the first 🥇 month of 2021, is one of the things am grateful for. 

Many times I feel like not just doing anything,no workouts,  Jogging,Walking ,Cycling , Playing Tennis,Swimming or doing light weight lifting and body building exercises. All because the " flesh" is weak - that strange voice in my head - thats just there to serve an opposite purpose when am trying or striving to do anything good or make good, better,and better ,best. 



Thankfully somehow "we" (me and a willing spirit) have continued to push through - when "she"(me flesh) fails to keep you out of the gym, she don't give up - she comes and tells you to reduce your set, or limit your daily or weekly workout targets. 


Either reduce your workout time,skip some days, reduce distance covered,cut down on effort levels, and daily moves .."she" tells you don't push your self beyond your limits, again somehow "we" disregarded her voice and have  still pressed on. Since all of that  don't work, she tells you - You know all these ain't making any real difference right-? you still feel same way, and beside you don't need to lose weight, and I answered her -yeah maybe I don't need the weight loss part now, but I do intend to stay health, agile and age with a youthful stamina and so far,so good.



I hope I can keep going - 4days a week,one hour session in the evenings and swimming once every two weeks. Looking forward hopefully to the end of September 2021 to mark one year of a more Active Me..so help "We" God..


And Oh sorry ladies, the "fleshy voice" in my head has a female voice 🤣

2023 into 2024 God's Goodness

2023 it is ending and Thank God, it's NOT the End. Am grateful for the year, goods immeasurable grace and mercies on me. Am trying to reminisce 2023 in my mind's eye as far back as I can possibly remember.  I started the year slowly focused and knowing the things I needed to get done at least for the first quarter. In hindsight now I can say it all worked out really well, at least until it all went crazy.  The national elections came, and I fought, I voted and hoped for a better government to take over at the national level, yet it was stolen right before our very eyes both at the state and national levels.  On a very deep level this crushed hope, that flicker of hope that Nigeria as a country would turn a corner for good this time. Unfortunately not only that the elections was  stolen but it was done in the most brazen, crude and evil manner.  Every institution of state was and is now captured by a thieving political establishment.  It's taken some time bu...

Grateful Reflections

( With Dr Bola Afolabi, Current CIPS President) On the 28 February 2006, I started a tread called Logistics/Supply Chain Management on one of the most popular webforum in Nigeria called Nairaland. Follow link to view postings on this tread http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-7497.0.html My aim basically was to use the opportunity an online forum can offer, to interact, share and gain ideas, information,network and generally increase awareness of the Procurement, Logistics and Supply chain management profession. This act of sharing my passion for the profession online has over the years sparked off series of positive and constructive events in my career quest, some of which I have reflected upon in the text below. Although my initial undergraduate study and immediate post study working experience were all related to engineering, I soon fall in love with the logistics and SCM profession when in March of 2005 I gained my 1st substantive Job with Integrated Logistics services Nig...
