Renewal of Friendship and Passion for Osun State of Nigeria

We met a few years ago on an official meeting; from there and then we became very close friends because  we both have passion for what we do and also our love for humanity is great.

I have learnt in my journey of life how to relate with each individual because of our unique differences which I do respect, also personal space must be cherished for healthy friendship growth. No matter how close you are to anyone make sure you do not suffocate them, when we do it becomes boring to both parties; one feels rejected and the other believes is losing some sort of privacy; strange, but that's the way it is.

I often try to give space and time to even the "closest" person to me because of certain "craziness" that we humans possess; we are all strange in our own ways especially when we are in "search". Search is continuous which makes "craziness" almost permanent in human-beings; some "craziness" could be sweet though.

Regardless of distance and our daily obligations some people are constantly on our minds because of the closeness which distance and obligations can never take away; also because some individuals have given us reasons to keep some sweet memories of them.

Hon. Sikiru Adetona Ayedun, a top Politician in Osun State of Nigeria has just proved to me that a long silence and distance can not destroy any solid friendship; what matters is true friendship, loyalty and commitment. 

Sikiru (Eskay) is full of passion for his State and believes that Osun will be much more greater than what "she" was and is, he believes in the State governance and he has the assurance that harmony and stability is in the state and the government is working each minute to put smiles on the faces of the State residents; he did not deny the fact that Osun is going through hard moment, which everyone knows about, but things are looking better and brighter each day. He prays for stability in the State and in Nigeria as a whole. This is my wish too. Eskay is willing, prepared and ready to serve his state more as long as it takes.

In Eskay's capacity as the Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, he encouraged promotion, participation, development, acceptance and appreciation of artistic and cultural activities which include, but not limited to music, theater, dance, painting, sculpture, architecture, literature, films, fashion, beauty, tourism and allied arts and crafts.  He maintained a survey of public and private facilities engaged within the state in artistic and cultural activities and determine the needs for the citizens. He also market and promote Osun State as a destination for leisure, business and cultural travelers. Osun Osogbo festival and other festivals across the state he held and still holds with passion, . He knows how to interpret and present Osun State's history and culture; also he's keen on the preservation and protection of historic resources.

Our meeting few days ago shows and tells me that calmness, tranquility, peace and trust in our close pals is essential because each one of us is in constant search. 

Friendship should not be of the lips but must be right from the heart; very interesting that our friendship is renewed with confidence, trust and passion for Osun State of Nigeria.
