Permit me to celebrate my eldest brother Mr Nnamdi Ibemere who had his birthday earlier this month on the 13th.
Gentleman to the core, bros is the soft spoken one among us all....always willing to step back and assume quiet authority when it counts. Right from way back when we were kids, he's always been the one stepping away from all our gra gra and remembering he's the one that is supposed to be in control.
Trust me guys, you'll never find anyone else more dependable. When it comes down to it, he'll always be there for you no matter what. Can't count the number of times i've taken advantage of younger brother privilege to "borrow" his clothes, books, perfumes, films and yes sometimes cash (Insert shamefaced smiley here) with absolutely no intention of returning any of them....lol
I mean it used to drive me crazy!!!...He'd have all these brand spanking new singlets/clothes/shoes/books all safely stored up somewhere absolutely untouched. I would sneak in and check back weeks later and they'd still be there. Kai, don't blame me for exercising my God given rights as a younger sibling and pilfer to my hearts content.
Very humble and down to earth, (too much so in my opinion), he has a successful career with Guinness Nig Plc and is married to a beautiful woman, Katherine.
She co-opted me last week to throw a surprise birthday party for him and it was a great success. i got myself lost somewhere and called him to come rescue me so the guests could get to his house for the party and true to form, he didn't hesitate to start driving down to Anthony to rescue his apparently stranded brother..
Namo is popular in church as well, maybe because among we Ibemere heathen (of which i'm president of course), he's the most consistent one in church. lol....I've had people meet me on the street and be like:"Hi, you're Nnamdi's brother right?"
Of course he has his own brand of issues...Sometimes he puts himself out there too much and people tend to take advantage of that, he can also be a tad too mushy mushy which is just...well...... aaarggghhhhh.....lol.
To cap it all...he gave me the singular honour to be bestman at his wedding earlier this year.
Anyway, here's to an awesome brother, friend, confidant, adviser and all round nice guy Mr Nnamdi Ibemere. May your days be long, happy and prosperous.
