Yesterday, I lost my last chill and I’ll tell you why, maybe not the full story but I’ll make sure you understand where I’m coming from and where I’m going to. I’m one of the people who believe Nigeria is great and can be better, no need to run abroad and stuff. I’m not taking it back but I don’t blame those who run abroad and this is why I’m here. I schooled in Benin Republic, most of you know that already and some people upon knowing ask why I went there. I give them the same answer “we had a family friend there, that’s why” which is actually the truth but if I had tasted schooling in a federal school at the time, I’d probably still choose little Cotonou over my beloved country anytime. See, I don’t think people should go through hell because they’re trying to get educated, I mean, they’re spending their money, time and energy already, can you just support at least? I don’t know how schooling in the real abroad felt like for those who schooled there but schooling in Cotonou ...

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...
