Being at TEDx Enugu today feels like one of those moments that reminds you to pause, take it all in, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

For me, it’s more than being part of a TEDx experience. It’s about the journey of becoming, the courage to keep showing up, and the quiet determination to believe that my story, my ideas, and my experiences matter.

I am learning that growth is not always loud. Sometimes, it is found in the moments we choose courage over fear, step into unfamiliar spaces, and allow ourselves to be seen, heard, and challenged. And sometimes, it is simply in being present enough to recognise that we are becoming the very people we once hoped to be.

Today, at TEDx Enugu, I feel grateful. Grateful for the journey, for the people I get to learn from, for the conversations that stretch my thinking, and for the reminder that there is still so much more to discover, share, and become.

I leave this experience reminded that the goal is not just to occupy a space, but to bring something meaningful into it. To keep growing, to keep asking questions, to keep daring, and to keep turning the things I believe in into something that can make a difference.

This is not just about being here today. It is about who I am becoming because I dared to show up. I dared to continue showing up even after the death of my husband 13 years ago dealt me a devastating blow. And because I show up still, many other women are showing up, finding their voices and becoming.

If you show up at TEDx Enugu today, feel free to come get a hi-5 from me.

I have had people reach out to me to ask questions about how I hae handled and still handle diabetes in the past 30 years.

Let me share from MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE and youre not bound by it.

I will start by appealing to you to ensure you have a doctor and if possible a Specialist in that area of medicine.

Secondly, follow your doctor's instructions strictly. When you're due for Kidney function test, lipid profile, and every other test that they prescribe, I beg you in God's name to run the tests. Keep to your doctor's appointment, at times I fail here, but don't be like me.

Thirdly, if you can afford to, also seek the professional advice of a Dietitian. With information like your weight, height etc, they will work out your meal plan.

Fourthly, eat right and follow your meal plan as much as you can. Hehehehehe! At times I dey waka go away from my meal plan but not too far away.

Fifthly, do not live a sedentary life style. Be active, exercise, even if it’s 30 minutes of brisk walk per day or even every other day. Biko avoid adding too much weight.

Sixthly, be careful with all the herbs you gulp in, please be careful. Be careful oooooo!! 😏😏😏

Seventhly, ensure you see eye doctors. Your doctor will tell you why. Be very careful with your feet. Biko don't joke with wounds and injuries. Mind the type of shoes you wear maka ndu gi oooo.

Eightly, keep records of your sugar reading either as FBS or RBS. During each visit to your doctor, let him see the Chart.

I plead with you to stay away from carbonated drinks, processed juices and foods. Eat fresh foods as much as you can. Of course you know that chocolate drinks and bars aren't meant for you. Me?? I eat some at times but not in a way that's inimical to my health.

There are times I indulge and my reading will look like that FBS reading below or even worse and I sit up immediately.🤐🤐🤐

30 years on this adirokwa easy, the resources, the inconvenience of insulin injection and piercing for tests every morning and at times up to 3 times per day. Thank God that these days, the needles are very little and I use once and discard. Some reuse because they might not be able to afford them.

If any parent is diabetic, biko be careful. If you're on borderline, push it back with lifestyle change.

Above all, don't allow the yeyecious diabetes to steal your joy inugo. Don't ever succumb to depression maka diabetes uchu.🙄🙄

Don't be ashamed or go into hiding because of diabetes. There's still life to live.

Uwa atoka, I want to live long.

Remarriage is not a betrayal of the past; it is a decision about the future.

Dear widowed community, if love comes again, embrace it with wisdom, prayer, and peace. Don't allow any9ne to guilt trip you and make you feel like you shouldn't move forward in this area. If they found themselves in your shoes, they would do same.

But as you consider a new beginning, remember that your children are part of that future too.❣️❣️

Bikonu, choose what protects their hearts, ensure also the preservation of their security, and reflects God’s wisdom for your family. Choose wisely!

Good morning.
