The Nima In My La Crème

Dear bestfriend, my clock reads 3:13am but for once, I am not swearing at the gods of sleeplessness. I am up, reminiscing about how we first met. The details are sketchy now but I still remember your big water bottle and baggy school skirt.

I remember the days we walked to the bus park together, I vividly remember the mischief we caused and of course I remember we did this all with our third wing, Turayo. Tuns, I love you too.

Fast forward to university days, the gods of long distance tried to ruin us but still we rise! I know I never played my part, four years you spent in Madonna and not for once did I show face ( Now I cover face in shame, lol) But you, thank God for you! For those visits you made all the way to PH. You showed up, brought your light along and forced me to live!

Do you still remember our trade fair experience? Do you still remember our Port-Harcourt mall experience? I am hollering remembering it! Girl, we’ve made memories but that’s only normal, 11 years is no joke; the best part are those memories, they aren’t just “memories”, they are stories of love, stories of two amazing girls living and loving each other in different places and circumstances, they are memories of us!

I nicknamed you Nima, at that point, I probably didn’t know why I choose “Nima” but today I do.

N- Non-conformist

I- Ideal

M- Munificent

A- Authentic

Stated above are some of your best features as a person.

Oh don’t get me started on your physical features, it’s safe to say Baba God used all three options ( 50/50, phone a friend and ask the audience) while he was creating you. Because you my friend is the definition of “Evenly Distributed” all assets are well proportioned and positioned.

Let a lifetime or two come and I’ll still choose to have you as my best girl. You make friendship so effortless.

I can go on and on about why you are my “best girl” but no need, you already know this.

So instead, I choose to stand as a daughter of the most high and make declarations.

You are a shinning star, you are a chosen generation and a peculiar person.

This world will celebrate you, people will gather to listen to you, you will shoot your shots and never miss your targets.

The flood gates of heaven shall rain immense blessings, favour, grace, prosperity and joy upon your life.

You are a testimony many men will tell of.

You will realise your full potentials, you will embrace them, you will own and excel at them.

Lines shall continually fall in pleasant places for you.

Wealth and prosperity are yours and soon girl, you’ll be able to live your foodie dreams, without fear of pockets going dry.

You will live a long, fulfilling and extremely satisfying life.

It is well with your soul, spirit and body.

My crème de la crème, cheers to many more beautiful birthdays.

Happy birthday Nima!

Clock reads 3:57am and now I can sleep, knowing you will wake up to this, knowing it will bring smiles to your face and that my bestfriend is what I literally live for!
