From The Back Of My Mind...


There are certain things we need to realize as inhabitants of this part of the world. You may know it already but for the sake of those who don’t, I’m going to state them;

People still get jobs without connection;
This is very true, scarce but true. You don’t always have to know someone to get it but if you know someone, please take advantage because it might take long before you get it on merit.

Imitation can put you in trouble;
So they say imitation is limitation, bla bla but there’s more to it than just being limited. Have you noticed how people who do bad stuff don’t get caught until someone just decides to try it once for the first time gets caught and you wonder how that happens? Some people are just lucky with not being caught but the day you decide to try it, jhgjhfghdsjg happens. So before you do that thing because Mr. XYZ does it, consider the kind of trouble you might get into if you get caught.

 
Good things/people/places are underrated;
It’s very amazing sometimes to see great talents, places and things not even known by many and you’re wondering how? A lot of people also do not take their health, education or their youth seriously and it usually turns out that the price they pay for not taking those things seriously is usually way higher than the attention they ought to have accorded whatever. People also take relationships for granted (story for another day) thinking that people would always be there for them, then life happens and they start wishing they did more for the people they had in their lives.

You’ll either get a yes or a no in life, there’s no in-between;
If you don’t get a yes, you’d definitely get a no and sometimes, YESes turn into NOs and NOs turn into YESes. There’s no point in being scared to plunge into certain things, apply for what our heart desires, or make that friend request known because we’re scared to get a no. A ‘no’ is not the worst thing that can happen to you, the worst thing is when you don’t even try. For almost every yes, there is a no so don’t beat yourself up when you’re the one getting the no. You should rather learn to deal with rejection and like they say - hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

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...
