In cricket, when a batsman hits the century mark, that is makes a hundred runs or points as you may count it, he gets a standing ovation from all in the stadium. I know, because I was and still am a cricketer.
But on this blog, it is the other way round. As I hit the hundredth view, I stand in ovation for you all that have viewed my page since it came to be. I am grateful and appreciate your patronage. You have made my day. You have helped me to overcome my fear. You have greatly made my head swell (that’s how we say it in my language). I am finally being read so much so that a hundred people have viewed my page. WOW! I am humbled.
I wish I knew all the names of all of you that have made this possible, I would not have hesitated to mention your names and celebrate you. Bob Marley said in one of his hit songs…”emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our own minds”… I completely agree with him and I see that you that have taken the time to read my blog and other articles, books, journals etc believe in that truth as well.
Let us read more. Daniel knew by books (Daniel 9:2). How did you think Jesus came about all the “it is written” in the Bible? He read. John Maxwell, the leadership guru and bestselling author that has sold over 19 Million copies of his books still reads – check out his blog on johnmaxwellonleadership.com.
What excuse do you have not to read? And who says you shouldn’t write? This is to celebrate all my fans (I hope I can say that) and thank you for letting me know that I have something to offer.
I must but mention the catalyst that finally sprung me to action, Angelique – check out her blog on maziyateke.wordpress.com. I saw her blog link on my facebook page read it and was wowed and I was galvanized to do something. Voila! Ramblings, was born and a hundred views old already… Angelique, ngyabonga and 21 Gbosa for you.
And to my first follower, I am humbled and encouraged. I have seen your work and it is beautiful. Keep it up.
To all those that have commented about my blog site on my facebook page, a mega big thanks to you and please keep reading. And by country from UK, to USA, to South Africa, to Australia, to Netherlands, to Belgium, to India and to my People in Nigeria, E se Gan. I really appreciate you all and I am looking forward to celebrating 100 years of blogging with you (HAHAHAHAHAHA).
As you have appreciated me by reading my blog, you also will definitely appreciate personally and in every aspect of your being. Reading is fun and is an all round stimulant. Let’s read more. It definitely adds to us for a wise man once said no knowledge gained is lost. THANK YOU!!!
I remember seeing an email forward once, which said; 'if you want to hide knowledge from a black person put it in a book.' As much as this was meant to awaken laughter, I felt a sword pierce through my stomach, I was sick with rage: what is it about our people? We do not like to read, we are happy to teach Shakespeare and Chaucer in English Literature classes in Africa when we have our own authors and poets. I have a story to tell, and thoughts to share - people will not always appreciate what I write but that's it if you don't agree with it reply -- don't go off mumbling into the wind - the wind doesn't carry your voice that far. So I am happy I have inspired you to do this and I hope one day you will hit a thousand views, I'm waiting for my 10,000 views now! More grease to your elbow!!!
