I hope opportunities align for you just as beautifully as you made them align for your makeup artist.
Plus, what an absolutely stunning woman you are.

Messi got an ovation from a packed theater in Spain on Friday, with the King and Queen in the room, and he gave it about 30 seconds with his eyes on the floor, fiddling with his jacket button.
Then you see who else was on that stage.
One of them was Christina Koch. She flew around the Moon back in April, the first woman ever to do it.
Three more were the scientists who made reading DNA cheap. Two Cambridge chemists, David Klenerman and Shankar Balasubramanian, plus a French biophysicist named Pascal Mayer. Their work took the cost of reading one full human genome from over a billion dollars and about a decade down to roughly a thousand bucks and a single day. The company the two chemists started became Illumina, and most DNA sequencing on the planet still runs on their method.
Studio Ghibli was up there too, the studio behind Spirited Away, along with Patti Smith and the novelist Julian Barnes.
Messi was the most famous person in that building by a mile. Spanish reporters in the room said it looked like he didn't want to pull any of the spotlight off everyone else, so he let the applause go and got out of the way.
The award is the Princess of Asturias, which people in Spain call the Spanish Nobel. The same foundation honored Nelson Mandela back in 1992.
Football has had a weird history with this prize. Brazil's national team won it in 2002, Spain's won in 2010, and Casillas and Xavi shared it in 2012. In 2009 the jury had a Barcelona team that had just won the treble with a 22-year-old Messi, and they voted it out before the final round. A Russian pole vaulter ended up winning.
Seventeen years later, he's the first footballer to ever win it by himself.
Princess Leonor handed it to him and told the room she wasn't sure anything else on earth could make the whole world feel the same thing at the same moment.
He didn't give a speech. A guy with eight Ballon d'Ors was standing next to the people who made the genome cheap to read and a woman who'd just been to the Moon, and he treated his own ovation like he was holding up the line.

When I was Muslim, I was taught to enter the toilet and bathroom with my left foot while seeking Allah’s protection from jinn, then leave with my right foot while asking Allah for forgiveness.
All this just to shit. 🤦🏽♂️
Indeed, to whom Islam is given, sense is taken.

You can't have this in your mega churches where the children unit is in a totally different building with ushers directing and grabbing your kids from you, right from the entrance.
This is another reason why I prefer and always choose to worship in a communual small/medium growing church and why I also prefer rural living to urban..🙏
Yes I want members and my pastor to stop by my house when I fall sick🙈
I want to join my members to go pray on the car engine of a brother or sister who just got a new car..
I want the Pastor to stand on the altar and call me by name and ask why I was not in for Bible studies🤷
I want to hug and gist for a few minutes with people who know me by name and know the road to my house.
I take church hunting very seriously when I move to a new location.
Choke me with the family unity spirit, that's what I came for.
Look me in the eye and say, Sister Edu, I don't think you're fine...can I say a word of prayer for you???
Anything short of this experience and you've lost my soul...I need my community closely knitted when it comes to church.

Wike’s big play in Rivers is to unite all the elements. So far, it’s working.
Not that they still can’t be defeated free and fair, but it makes whatever electoral manipulation they want to do easier with every one of these guys on board and the Governor across the LGs.
He has made a determination that reconciling them is one small sacrifice that he can’t afford not to do, as his entire political career rests on delivering this place for Mr. Tinubu by hook or by crook.
Now, what will Amaechi’s play be? I don’t have an idea yet. Obi doesn’t have any. He is too politically lazy to check the onslaught; he just relies on vibes and insha Allah.
Of course, his standing in the state with ordinary people is strong, but that’s not enough for this kind of machinations.
Amb. Chijioke Ihunwo (@AmbChijioke) pledges to work for the victory of Rep. O.K Chinda, Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule and all Rainbow Coalition candidates in Rivers State.

Before H.E Peter Obi leave PDP to Join Labour Party in 2022. He made unforgettable remarks to the PDP bot members.
What he said made everyone to get more worried about Nigeria.

Since you people are already mad at me. I might as well spew all the other unpopular thoughts that I have. So we can get it over with.
- Sometimes I wish Peter Obi was a Yoruba man. He's as close to MKO as we have gotten since MKO.
- I don't think anyone else is taking this election seriously. Opposition parties included. It's why they aren't spending on their campaigns.
- I think Kwankwaso is only on the ticket to build clout for 2031. I think he'll leave NDC for either APC or a coalition of opposition parties in the next election cycle.
- I wish El Rufai had not gotten himself arrested. If there was ever a coalition to be had. He was the piece that could have kept it together.
- I still think only a coalition of all main opposition parties can unsit Tinubu. Even if it is an announcement that one party is puting his its structure behind the other and not a formal coalition.
- I think Tinubu has been an excellent president for the business and political elites so nobody is interested in funding anybody to unsit it.
- I don't think the people who are angry on Twitter have it within themselves to defend their votes in the face of physical violence on election day if it comes to that.
- I don't think that the people who are angry on Twitter understand that anger is not a political strategy.
- I think everyone is fine expressing their anger on X and subsequently patting themselves on the back for a job well done which will not leave enough anger for when they actually need it because they already got their moral validation from tweeting angrily on X.
- I still think Peter Obi's best path to Aso Rock is the same route Jonathan took. If that means Nigerians have to be patient, then so be it.
If I think of more. I will add them under.
Stay angry.
