This year has been super amazing in good and bad ways. I’m grateful for everything that has happened this year. The friends I lost, the ones I made, the experiences I’ve had and one million other things I can’t even recount. I slowed down on my writing for a course because it’s hard to combine it with work. This year, I changed jobs and location too which I’m really grateful for. Allow me to share with you the lessons I’ve learned this year and talk about those who made my year.  Lessons learnt; Death is inevitable ; It’s funny how we plan our day and life and eventually end up dead while achieving them or while planning even. It’s one thing we never see coming because no one wants it early but it happens a lot. That’s why it’s important to live your life in ways that you really want and also ways that glorify God. Be productive, tell people you love them, laugh, forgive, have fun, compliment others because you just might not get another chance. Work is work : in a w...

The Good Morning Ish Have you ever forgotten to greet your parents in the morning? Not like you didn’t see them but you were looking them in the eye but just forgot to say the words good morning. They didn’t say too because obviously they’re entitled to your greeting and you’re not to theirs. You remember this on your way to work but you know how awkward it'll sound texting them to say 'good morning ma/sir, sorry I forgot to greet you this morning, my brain skipped. Good morning, have a nice day' so you just let it slide instead and your parents begin to wonder if you’re a bastard but they don’t mention it until you get back home in the evening and still forget to greet them. They finally confirm that you’re indeed a bastard. Scum Bae You’ve been laughing at all the men are scum memes and stories and you think to yourself. If men are scum, my own man is not scum. You’re so sure of it you can almost testify in church like 'praise the Lord, I want to thank God...

Omo, this year na my year oh, this year we go make am, we go too ball mehn, no shit this year at all OR this year will be massive, plenty money and connections are coming my way, this year won't be like the previous ones, its gon be different, bigtime this time. A lot of us said something relating to the previous statements, we were hopeful that we'll achieve more, make more money, probably be married, have kids, finish that project, cut off those ties, travel out of the country etc. The list is endless but now I'm asking HOW FAR? So we have less than three months for the year to end and it’s been very eventful, here at my end though. What surprises me however is how certain people still say that the ten months so far has been wasted and low-key I’m saying "tell me you’re kidding" because I can’t relate, I’m sorry. At the start of the year, some of us had certain resolutions for the New Year, it’s okay if you didn’t, it’s too cliché anyway. Some of us who...

Family = FAM, I Love You (lol, I know how that sounds too). So let’s get to it, what does it mean to be fam? These days, you see people say ‘happy birthday fam’, ‘what’s up fam’ and all other fam-related sentences. After much observation, I’ve decided to define fam as someone who is either blood related or non-blood related who you share a lot with, trust, fight with and for, and very loyal to. Who can be fam? Being fam isn’t a gender thing, anyone can be fam. Your girlfriend or boyfriend can be fam only if you have mutual friends and they get along well with your blood relations. Your blood related family can be fam provided they have the fam qualities which being blood isn’t one of.    Basic fam rules    v Always make sure that the person you consider fam thinks you’re fam too. It shouldn’t be one-sided.   v You should be able to insult (yab) fam without them taking offense. However, never insult fam during an argument or a fight....
