Move On

No song on my playlist could describe how I'm feeling right now.
Maybe "sad" by Maroon 5 though not in the same context but you get the point.
I'm asking myself why bad things happen to good people, I've been asking for years though and no one seems to have the answer.
Is it about Kehinde Olowoidiaba's death?
He was a nice kid, he didn't deserve to die but who does anyway. He was one of the happy people I knew, I never saw him frown. I was in SS1 at the time, SS1 Platinum but he was in gold. He usually came to my class, called every girl his wife. He was very jovial, it was never a dull moment around him.
But then, he had to die.
Aunty Latifat was my Aunt's friend, she was very sweet to I and my brother whenever we went to visit her or followed my aunt to her house then one day, she had to die.
Hers was the first loss that personally affected me, it was hard for me to accept that I was never going to see her again.
When I heard about her death, I expected it to be accompanied by an "it's a lie o" but no, she was gone for real.
As if that wasn't bad enough, Mummy Dayo too had to die.
Mummy Dayo was one of the sweetest women I had met if not the sweetest. She worried about me like I was her own child but then again, she had to die.
Then Yemi too had to die (read about her in one of my previous posts).


You're probably wondering why I'm writing all these, let me fill you in.
I slept at about 5am this morning because I stayed up all night watching a series called the revolution. Woke up by 6am for morning devotion, went back to bed then woke up at about 8am to run an errand.
I turned on my phone to reply mails and all but I discovered that my phone had developed a mind of its own so I had to wipe off every data. I had a lot of useful information saved on it and now it's all gone.
It then got me thinking about why bad things happen to good people but then, thank God it isn't something more tragic like the phone being stolen at least I could wipe the phone because I saw it.
My data loss can't be compared to the loss of the aforementioned people. I know we've all lost valuable possessions and people and it's hard to believe that we would have to survive without them but I think it's time to move on.
There are certain questions we might never get an answer to, curiosity doesn't make the situation any better so I say RIP to every one and thing we've lost, let's stop crying over spilled milk.
Let's Move On.

There are several advantages in loss..it opens our eyes to amend our wrongs then edit our mistakes.
There are stories I misplaces but when I rewrite it, it gets better.

Who Says There Are No Pervs In Church?

Dear OTTH readers, how are we? I spent my weekend resting and going through dorisaniunoh.blogspot.com, you know as a writer, one shouldn't depend on themselves, so every now and then, I go through other blogs because not only do I learn a lot from them, they also inspire me to write something. I love reading from Doris' blog because like me, she writes real life stuff, something I could actually relate to not how Davido got robbed and the likes. I've been meaning to write about this in a while but procrastination won't let me but today I have bound the spirit hence here it is. I'm certain we all know who a perv is but just incase we don't, perv is the shortform for the word "pervert" and it refers to someone who's sexually obsessed according to Google and that's about what it means so I guess we all get the picture and we'd understand better as we proceed. I've always thought pastors would at least act like pastors no matter the tempt...

Na From Clap, Dance Dey Start

Good morning my loves, welcome to 2016. This is our first post this year so I’m supposed to be very excited but the issue I want to discuss is not one that gives room for such excitement. Of course, I’m excited that you can read this right now, that you came all the way from 2015 into 2016. It wasn’t an easy trip but we’re all here finally. Thank you so much for your love. Now to the business of the day. In a world of women and men, yes I put women first because I’m a woman just in case you were wondering why or maybe you didn’t even notice, the fate of a woman depends on the woman not the man and this is no merlin line. I’m really hurt right now and I’m too hurt to not speak up. I’m not a romantic person for reasons I don’t know but for some reason I’m grateful for it. I’m saying this because I’ve seen what people call love in action and it makes me wonder if it really is love. I’m not going to dispute the fact that I’ve also made my mistakes, I mean, we all have our stupid moments ...

The Hustle Of Many Colors

We are all "hustlers" before we become "chillers" whether we want to admit it or not. Some of us are in the corporate world, some on the streets, some in market places and some are in places I can't name. Some of us are dressed in suits, some in rags, some are dressed casually while some are dressed in clothes I can't even classify under any of the aforementioned categories. When I see people put up pictures saying "Lord bless my hustle" or "Oluwa bless my hustle", I just say 'amen' on behalf of whoever put up the picture. I'm very emotional right now because I've seen hustle at its peak. I remember entering a bus somewhere, I was the only passenger in the bus. The conductor did everything possible to get more passengers but all his efforts proved abortive. The driver then said "sorry aunty, we no dey go, we no see passenger" and I had to go with another bus. I could see the disappointment on his face, I wished...
