Happy Mothers' Day '21 (fifth edition)

In many parts of the world, it is yet another Mothers Day today.

There are so many Mothers’ Day in the year that it leaves the Fathers questioning :roll_eyes: :thinking: :open_mouth: .

I want to take the opportunity of this Mothers’ Day to give wishes to 3 Mothers;

  1. My Birth Mother
  2. My Local Guides’ Mother
  3. Google Maps

In recent times, I have done three things that have made me really happy and feel fulfilled;

  1. Giving my Mum a Body Massage
  2. Rescinding a decision I had purposely thought through on request of my mother; My Local Guides Ma
  3. Adding of St. Joseph Chaplaincy and Mass Centre

Happy Mothers’ Day to my Birth Mother

I can’t talk about the relationship between us here. Too emotional. Mum knows how hard I work, so bout 2 weeks ago, she decided to follow me to one of my Business places; where we get Appliances at the biggest electronic hub in Africa; Alaba International. I pleaded with her not to accompany me because I know how ‘rough’ Alaba is and how ‘Male dominated’ it is, she insisted. I won’t tell you what happened after.

So, some three days ago, I checked on her and saw she was having some difficulty turning her neck, so, I decided to give her a full Body Massage.

She was so grateful and I was so touched when she said; she had never gotten a full Body Massage before, wow! and I give such great massages, yet, I have never done for my own mother, sad :frowning_face: ! What was more? she gave me a token of appreciation. I declined, but she impressed it upon me and I took it. That, she has always done from when we were small, maybe that’s why I became a Business owner :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: . Oosha (Orisha) bi iya o si laaye. There is no deity like a Mother in the World.

**Happy Mothers’ Day to @Gurukrishnapriya **

I am so proud to be associated with you. Thank you for accepting me, loving me, motivating me, being kind to me and never making me doubt for once that you are in my corner. Please accept in return, my Love and gratitude, for you, I will bring down the Moon, but I know such tall requests, you will never even make of me. May you always be happy. Happy Mothers’ Day, I love you.

We were at Mass in the Mass Centre, when the Priest began to ask of why our population declined immediately after the season of Lent.

Many of the other Business men of the Trade Fair Complex began to raise suggestions on how we can create awareness so others could attend Mass at 12:30p.m. They gave so many suggestions including; Whatsapp, public address, creating awareness, shop to shop until theLocal Guide :grinning: came to the rescue. So, I told them I was going to add the two locations to Maps and all they had to do was keep ‘checking in’ and writing reviews to make the two locations always pop up anytime anyone searches ‘Trade Fair’.

Well, what do you think has happened?

Why do I feel so proud about adding it? The Circumstances surrounding it? Yes? No, it was how difficult it was to add it.

Trade Fair is a heavily regulated environment and there is a procedure for doing everything and that’s why you never get to know how big Trade Fair is, from Maps, because many of the POIs there are not listed and the Business owners will not accept to have their Businesses listed, don’t ask me why.

Because of this, the first time I tried adding the places, Google Maps combined them, then I closed one of them and retried; Maps marked the second location; St. Joseph’s Catholic Chaplaincy as ‘Unknown’. Then, I tried again (another day) and Maps gave the prompt; “sorry, we can not add places at this Location for now” :sweat_smile:

So, I tried again and this time,woohoo :dancer: :tada: ! It got approved! I was ecstatic with joy! I quickly shared with the Priest the POI, while the Priest forwarded the two POIs to the Whatsapp platforms of the Business associations of Trade Fair Complex.

Only a Mother can make me do something and try it more than once and keep encouraging; So, Happy Mothers’ day to Google Maps, glad to be your Guide and daughter.

Happy Mothers’ Day to all the beautiful Mothers in the house, particularly those in our Google team (who I know are mothers) @KlaudiyaG and those of my Local Guides friends who are; @Melissa_Langlois @Kwiksatik

Please drop a kind wish on this Mothers’ Day.

I am overwhelmed dear @Ewaade_3A

It’s really a great gift to me on Mother’s Day. You have really brought the moon to me by your this kind of gesture. I really don’t know how to show my gratitude. Mom’s place in ones heart is a special one and you calling me Maa makes me that God has given me a boon.

I cannot thank you, because thanks has no meaning between us.

Stay blessed my dear child.

My Mummy is a tough cookie top. Then, she gave birth to a tough cookie, so she had to learn to soften up a lite and learn how to play.

Your kids are lucky to have you. Happy Mothers’ day, Indah @indahnuria
