I AM 25

Prologue

This does not qualify as a prologue by any stretch of imagination. But today I want to break the rules.

With every ounce of excitement, I am delighted to announce to you my esteemed readers that I am two decades and five years old today. I remember Twenty-Four like it was just yesterday. A lot has changed in the last 365 days!

            I have decided to give you a little privilege for those who have no inkling about the guy behind the words. I am doing things a little differently this time around. Enjoy.

A description Me

My name is Othman Yahaya and I just turned Twenty-Five. I am a follower of Jesus Christ. I am an enthusiast, a lover of music, and sports, particularly football. I love writing, engaging in community development, and traveling. Sometimes I consider my dreams a little grandiose-all worked up in my head but not descriptive in concrete terms. Most times I’m scared of new and overwhelming tasks, though I know I’m capable of achieving remarkable results.

            Integrity, discipline, diligence, and excellence are non-negotiable attributes for me. I have to mention that I’m a Legal Practitioner.

Favourite Gospel Band: Hillsong

Favourite quote: “Prayer is not asking. It is the longing of the soul. It is a daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart”. – Mahatma Gandhi

Favourite movie: Pirates of the Caribbean

Favourite Movie (2015): War Room

Epilogue

          I’m gradually inching towards matured manhood, and the magnitude of what responsibility lies ahead is becoming more and more vivid with each fleeting day. And I make this call to men (women as well) to awake to our responsibilities as stewards of our Master and citizens of an ailing nation. With great knowledge comes great responsibility.

We must rise to the challenge that confronts us. Let’s quit sitting clumsily on our hands; let’s arise and build the walls of Nigeria.

I’d probably have a shindig, but I am seriously disposed to being indoors all day long. Thanks for reading through. I hope to see you soon at Twenty-Six where there will be more exciting packages for you.

Happy Birthday to ME!
