Paris...... Home in Africa!!!

Paris, Nigeria and Home in South Africa….

I’ve always wanted to go to Paris, but every time I’ve had the opportunity, Let me just say the one word so many of us face…. VISA☺ that should say it all. This time however I was privileged to fly into Paris and that alone was a great blessing for me. There was snow on the runway as we landed, in transit to Nigeria…. One day I shall walk the streets of Paris and speak French…. Bonjour☺ One day…. Hopefully soon!

My first travel to Nigeria was about two years ago, about the exact same time… It was such an overwhelming and amazing experience with more than 500 000 people coming out to the Experience. The electricity went out due to heavy rain and the roof of the stage collapsed on the sides. But that did not stop the crowd from worshipping. We were on stage singing in the rain when the sound and power cut out completely -And I learnt such a valuable lesson-. The people then started singing songs all around us in the rain… Suddenly our effort to lead others in worship was switched and the crowd led us in worship. It was as if God was saying….
“Hey…. I don’t need all this fanciness you bring sometimes. I think your efforts for excellence are great but when was the last time you just sung to me? “ The whole experience was so surreal, I was standing next to Donnie Mc Clurkin, Israel Houghton, Mary Mary And the whole New Breed Team in awe at what we saw… Pure worship… I will never forget that night!
So this time around I was equally, in fact even more excited for what we were about to “experience”. The event started at 7pm on Friday night and when we got on stage at 5am the next morning right after Mary Mary, it was almost time for the sun to come up☺ What I love about Nigeria is Relentless Worship. I will always be inspired by the eloquence of their speech and excellence in which they treat their guests. This time around there were more people than the previous year. Wow….. You never think, hey one day I’ll get to sing in front of more than 500 000 people in one night. On the same stage as people I only dreamt of…. But God see’s way beyond what we ever think or could ever imagine!

Southern Skies are the greatest! The sun. The clouds, oh the clouds, so close, so beautiful.
I flew into South Africa on Monday Morning, besides losing my cell phone, I was ecstatic about surprising my family…. I couldn’t wait but had to till the evening☺ Ah the joys of family, NOTHING like it!!!! My cousin took the time to take me on the Gautrain and like a real Tourist, I was Hyper taking pics of everything lol…. I was so impressed with the excellence of our Country. Wow, I’ve been away for a while now…. Seems like forever hey. The Gautrain reminded me of my first trip on the underground in London. It was only a little better. Eish man…. Excitement all ova me hehehehehe


As for my family…

I can’t describe how it felt when everyone screamed at me after I casually walked in and Yelled “Surprise”…. Heheheheheh it was magnificent! My dad was literally quiet for about two hours in shock… that never happens!!!! A Miracle! My sister, her husband & kids and my brother just so happened to be there, as well as my cousin so it was rather grand!!!! Nothing compares to wrestling with my nephews…


So... I look forward to great times in the sun, Hugs, Kisses and loads of love…. And many more stories to share…. Be blessed☺
