Dipo Tepede.POeT was one year old on Friday, 1st June, 2007 and so much has happened within the one year of being the administrator and blogger of this site. I am so glad for what God has accomplished in my life through this platform of expression. He has lifted me to various levels of successes from acquiring great friends to bountiful prosperity.

Rewinding to the day I made the decision to start blogging, I can't believe all that has been accomplished, it has truly been the hand of God; it has not been by my power nor by my skills/talent but it has been by the mighty hand. I just sow, you my dear readers water and God simply gives the increase. It has truly been good, check out the stats;

Well, the graph above says it all but then appreciation goes first and foremost to God for his grace and mercy upon my life without him I would have been consumed. Next to my dear wife who critique and edit my every post and next to my dear readers who come here every day and almost every time to know what's up. There are some certain outstanding guys that have added salt to this site (guets bloggers): Bolaji Osinuga, Gbenga Sesan, Angela Amadasun, Cherub, Titilayo Obisesan, Jerome Obada, Ewajesu Asala, etc and also some dear peeps that have granted me interview;  Seun Osewa, Dupe Olorunjo, Ade, Miss Ameleogbe, Dr. Life of A Stranger called Me. I dont know what to say but thank you and your reward is in the cuffing. Great appreciation goes to my commentators who take time out to put down what's on their mind from my critiques to my supporters, I appreciate you all. To show how much I appreciate you, I would send the ten top commentators on this site each a CD containing electrifying and up-lifting quotes. The top ten commentators as of today are;

• Loads 
• Tioluwalase Chuksyy  
• Dumsky
• Mathew
• Ogu  
• denowo  
• Adewest
• JO
• Londoncoool
• Ologbon

There is one commentator that is not among the list and has been a faithful since the inception and it would truly be an honor to sit down with him to lunch or dinner in Ocean View Chinese Restaurant. He goes by the nickname J. J; I would get in touch with you so we can set a date for this explosive meeting. I would also get in touch with all the aforementioned above.

Now what can I say? The blogging community in
