The Boss You Are

You're probably reading this and wondering "how am I the Boss when I still had to come to this annoying workplace (depends on how you refer to your workplace if you have a job)?" If you were truly the boss, you should be on vacation somewhere around the world you won't even have to consider your bank account balance to get to, if you were truly the boss, you should not be reporting to any boss; if you were truly the boss, then you shouldn't be hustling the way you are; if you were the boss, you shouldn't be in school studying; if you were the boss, you shouldn't be unable to afford furthering your education; if you were the boss, you shouldn't be struggling with eating thrice a day talk less of having money in your bank account...the list is endless.

Ironically, the real bosses aren't always the ones who wear suits, sit on executive chairs, CEOs or everyone else who has the "Boss" title attached to them. We are all bosses, we just don't realise it yet. If you have a mind of your own, you're the boss; if you can make your own decisions, you're the boss, if you can persevere in the face of difficulties, you're the boss. Still doesn't make sense? I know it’s easier said than done but if you flashback on issues you’ve dealt with, challenges you’ve overcome, you would agree with me that it wasn’t easy but you were able to scale through still. Why? Because you’re the boss!


Remember that time you had to make a tough decision? A take it or leave it decision. It was tough then but you thought it through and finally decided yeah? And sometimes the decisions you took didn’t produce the kind of result you thought you would get from it, it hurt but you were strong and let go gradually. That’s because you’re a boss. Bosses make tough decisions, sometimes it even affects their relationship with others but they just have to do what they have to do. That’s why we’re superiors no matter how small we may feel sometimes, we’re strong regardless of life challenges, we take charge because if we don’t do it, who will? We make sacrifices no matter what it’ll cost us (sometimes) because as bosses, you just have to do whatever it takes, as long as it’s going to produce the outcome we want.

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...
