Mummy,
I cried two nights ago because I wished you were still here. I’ll try to remember that this is a place where I can leave you messages. Sometimes, I just really need to talk to someone and you really were my one true friend.
They say you never know what you have until you lose it, that’s a tough lesson I’ve learnt from you leaving.
There are too many things I want to say sorry for, things I want to tell you about and, things I want your opinion on. Hopefully, I can tell you one day. They say the pain gets better, I don’t really agree but I hope I see you again someday.
Thank you for being my mum, friend, rock and everything in between.
I’ll always love you. ❤️

Missing you dear Seiyefa.

Reading these stories just made me laugh and shed tears at the same time. I could totally picture her saying "Sisi, you better thank me, you're beautiful because of me". RIP Aunty. May God fill the Vacuum that you have left in the hearts of everyone that loves you.

Nostalgic childhood memories

October 30, 2015

We would walk all the way home from St. Agnes to Surulere instead of going on the bus.  We use to share our future dreams and aspirations together, we would stop by at  the Army quarters just almost opposite Yabatech to buy cold 7up, sit down for a while to gist and off we go again. I remember how we wanted our future husbands to be, Sei's choice was a talk handsome man. Later when she got married, I told her he's not that tall afterall and she's like "Nike that's God's will for me". It was so much fun then, we still shared these sweet memories together by your bedside on the night of Saturday, 17th October, 2015,  I can never forget that night in a jiffy as if you knew that will be my last time of sharing with you on planet earth.  Sweet, bubbly friend and sister, I miss our deep sisterly gists, we always catch up from where we stopped whenever we see as if we haven't seen for years. We would talk, scold each other, cry and pray if we have to, you will always say "Nike you are not just my friend, you are my sister".  Rest sweetly my friend and sister.

'Mummy Seiyefa'

October 28, 2015

I must have been 3 or 4 years old: we had just moved to Ireland and were staying in a really small flat. I couldn't make sense of anything and was especially confused because you were no where to be found. When my mum explained that we were far from Nigeria and that I couldn't see you, Sisanmi or Alero at that moment, all I can remember is lying stomach-down on a bed, kicking, crying and screaming "I WANT MY MUMMY SEIYEFA!" for ages. That's the only tantrum I can remember throwing. I look back now and laugh but in that moment the idea of not seeing you for a while was so painful! You made me never want to leave your side, but I eventually got used to having just one mother hahaha. Love you always x

Surprise Party

October 28, 2015

The way your mouth dropped when you stepped into Aunty Martha's living room and the lights went on and everyone yelled "SURPRISE!" was priceless. You ran out and sat on the staircase with your face in your palms in complete shock and remained stunned for almost ten minutes after. I thought whoever chose to surprise you on your 45th was pretty clever as you were so unsuspecting, and if I remember correctly, you couldn't believe that you weren't 'ready enough' for your party. I remember that day so clearly and I remember how you adults never stopped dancing! So much planning and cooking went into that surprise party; it just shows how valued and dear you were to everyone.

Bad Habits

October 24, 2015

I remember when I was younger, no older than 8 and you always used to threaten to cut my fingers off with scissors because I just would not stop biting my nails. I can never forget those days, I now do the same to my brothers and threaten to cut their fingers when I see them biting their nails. I love you so much and thank you for everything aunty.

My heart broke when I heard the sad news. I know she will always watch over you guys and be proud. May God keep her in his care. 

My best friend

October 20, 2015

How can I forget how proud you were of Alero and I? How you would encourage us to use our gifts and make the best out of it? How you taught me how to cook and love it.. How you would tell me "sisi, better thank me. You're beautiful because of me" lol.. How you would play pranks and say "I lied my darling".. Mummy! ❤️

October 20, 2015

I remember how my mum would annoy me and then say "Ama, do you still love your mummy? Come and give me a hug" and I'd just forgive her because it was just impossible to stay mad at her. There were also times where I'd sit and she'll come and step on me and pretend like she didn't know she was doing that. Lol. I love you mama. You're the best.

"You looked after everyone. You were their rock. I promise I will take care of everyone for you S-BABY, from Grandma to Aunty Martha to Aunty shade no rival. I'll be a mother to Alero. You'll be proud of me. Just watch over us from up there angel. ❤️"

My Mum.

October 20, 2015

"I remember how she would sneak to our room and peep at us to find out if we were "gossiping" about her. Or how she would fart when we're out in the car and lock the windows so Alero and I would share in the "blessing" and tell her "well done"
