Segun Ozique

As my old years of life ended yesterday  And today, a fresh new one begins   I got awakened by  my Mrs: Y. Ozique To birthday wish and prayers for me Followed by a barrister Gbenga Ojo's message;  'May the best fresh dew from high heaven  And fountains springing from the depths below  The best radiance streaming from the sun  And the best the moon has to offer glow Give help to all you do and all your dreams And bless you with the grace and love divine  That you may live in joy and peace supreme And share your gifts with those who need a sign' These birthday songs of praise starts my day! I 😊 thank God for all my given days here on.

TO AUNTIE BOSE, A TRIBUTE. My Aunt Bose was the one who always had a smile The one who always made us feel not removed The one who always had a welcoming word The one who always showed us kindness Auntie Bose was the one who treated us like family The one who never missed a celebration The one who always brought joy and laughter The one who always will sacrifice all to give us support She was the one who cherished her children The one who was proud of their achievements One who guided them with wisdom  The one who utterly loved them all, equally Auntie was the one who lived a life of kindness Who lived her life touching so many hearts The one who inspired us with her courage and Who departed, leaving a legacy of grace My sweet auntie Bose left us too soon She is gone, leaving emptiness in our lives Yet still, leaving us with sweet memories A cherishable memories of hope, trust and credence Gone, Auntie Bose, will be missed dearly And in honouring auntie Bose, no wo

As the raindroped yesterday and the night enveloped So my thoughts gradually drifted to you With the wish that you were by my side To share with me the beauty of the sound It fiilled my heart with warmth, joy and cheer And though you were not present to my sight and touch The reflection fetched your spirit into my soul  The rain drops turning into your sweet whispers The drops resonating like delightful massage A feeling very soothing that turned me your Clyde  Affirming you always will be my bonnie babe on high  The silver lining bridging each lonesome times The melody that always will fill my heart with peal The harmony to always turn all sounds your song So I thank dear rain for bringing with it Such sweet heartfelt void quenching thoughts.

Listen up, world, I've got a tale to tell, about mother who rocks and has excelled. She birthed children, that's turned right; sustain them all, Raised them right, proud, strong, and, tall! At eighty-six years young, she's seen it all, A journey of love, she'll never let them fall. Her kids turned out fine, each one well-adjusted, this is her time, let's return all the love she's invested. She faced the struggles head-on, no retreat, With a heart so strong, intimidation could not beat. Sacrifices was her game,uy giving her all, building a legacy, with sweet memory, right with Godpp. Her embrace was a loving shelter, like tendering guiding light, who through thick and thin, Is there always supportive. With wisdom flowing like a river, never ceasing, She shaped their souls, made them believe in amity. Through sleepless nights and dreams she dared to chase, She toiled and prayed, seeking God's grace. Her faith was unshakable, a force divine, Guiding her chi

🙏🙏🙏🙏  In shadows' depths where doubts and fears reside, God my guiding light emerges, strong and bright, Remains my mentor's touch, a beacon by my side, In disquieting times, He is there to reassure my stride.   Done with wisdom flame, He stokes my inner fire, Igniting my passion, hunger, purpose, and desire, Sees to my hidden strengths, my gifts unbounded, And shaping me into diamonds from a mere ember.   His gentle words are like melodies that overflow, Inspiring dreams like inventions of stories untold, His presence fills my heart, and I always am assured That with His support, I’m bound to reach His shore.   Oh God, my mentor, your guidance brings me grace, As your light shall guide me through life's daunting chase.

  Nestled in the serene landscapes of Ilara-Mokin, Ondo State, Nigeria, lies a hidden prized and prideful nature's wonder known as the 'Smokin Hills.' This unique geological formation, characterized by its mysterious, constantly smouldering hills, has the potential to be transformed into a wellness destination for individuals seeking solace, healing, and rejuvenation from the burdens of depression and anxiety disorders as well as hikers. In this article, I plan to explore the possibilities and discuss how the Ilara-Mokin Smoking Hills can offer a transformative experience for those in need of holistic wellness.

  Ilara-Mokin considered, on investment thoughts and potential, may yet turn out, one of the luckiest most developed small towns in Ondo State.  Located in the southwestern part of Nigeria, Ilara-Mokin is gradually looking to be turned into a tourist destination.

Hear him, ‘Ilara-Mokin is home to several notable natural attractions, including the scenic Smokin Hills Golf Course, the picturesque Idanre Hills, the mesmerizing Oke-Idanre Natural Park, and the breathtaking Owa Waterfall.’ ‘These attr

  Amidst the jolly rallying of roaring machines, Some love birds came to light off the gasoline. Some did in eyes and smiles in a platonic dance, While others had hearts hooked in rhythmic trance. I as arbiter established two at the racing scene, Smiles were all it took to set their hearts agleam. Their souls were meshed with their spirits set free, It was the bond of two strangers in Ilara rallied by destiny.   As the two hobnobbed, time passed at a blurred speed, As they explored motor power and body passion with glee. It was a joy to watch the thrills and spills of the racing tracks, And the exhilaration of off-track hearts racing in soaring packs.   Now I am thinking as the rally has come to a close, What has become of the Work and play love broth? Would they fade off as has the exhaust smokes in the air, Leaving the hearts yearning for the next when and where?   For, though Work and Play as Scheduled reached its end, The Ilara memories were one connived as a combo blend, For roari

  Call it a wake-up call; a prompt to renew interest. It was made evident that Work and Play promotions again ruffled some feathers on the 8th of April, waking up anyone in Ondo State drifting to slumber by drawing attention to the state’s natural picturesque wealth, untapped tourism opportunities, and the exciting world of Motorsports. The Work and Play promotion was not just aimed at promoting both labour and leisure activities in the state. It was a goal-driven effort to help grow the state with the corporate support of major sponsors such as Toyota, SMT, Smoking Hills, etc., and of course, such efforts will not be complete without the Motorsport's drivers, bikers, riders, supportive clubs around the country, and speed enthusiasts. The promotion was geared among other positive intentions, towards attracting visitors to the state, boosting the local economy through investments, engaging the youths in gainful employment, and encouraging more people to take Motorsports as a hobby

As expected, the recently concluded 2023 Ondo Motor Rally is done and dusted.
