Adeshola Abraham:My Dear Only Sister.part 2

We came to Lagos in 1995 but my sister had earlier relocated to Lagos after finishing her secondary school in ogbomoso grammar school in the compan y of my cousins.She came to Lagos for her exams and later was admitted into blaro polytechnics for secretarial studies emulating her father who was also chartered secretary from Lassale University in New York as well as chartered accountant,economist and also with LLB in law.She was cerebral like her father and speaks french a little like dad.
We visited west africa countries quite often family returned back home in 1978 and when she relocated to festac in Lagos much earlier the family too had moved into Lagos relocated the soft production to Lagos at baba legba ijegun road when the business eventually crashed .
Moreover by then she was walking at coca cola as make the move to revive the factory.It failed but the optimism came back in 2016 when we registered New company to revive the softdrink .And that effort was the first critical attempt since 2005 when daddy died.
How did she cultivate writing and editing ?
When i took to freelancing and journalism probably in 2008 penned my first post script essays The Plight of Nigerian textile mills in the defunct national mirror,seeing my published essays back to back from mirror to vanguard ,she was impressed with my effort and we discussed how good was it to be a writer.Since then she was stuck like i was and immensely improved.
When she was married to pastoral and a clergy it became inevitable such tradition was vital to assist in the ministerial work.She had written more than 200 essays to closer to 400essays basically religious essays and still could drastically not stop counting.
