Like clockwork, I ask this question every Sunday evening and ponder why I don’t have more days where I am not obligated to think about work. I do love my 9 -5 but why is the weekend so brief. Sometimes I have an intense weekend working on my hobbies/interests, sometimes I laze about and dedicate … Continue reading Where did the weekend go?
The Bird’s Eye view
Throughout my life, I make no claim to witnessing an abundance of breathtaking marvels, but I have been lucky to behold a few, and some have been from high above. One of these wonders is a mesmerizing tapestry, a symphony of red, blue, yellow, and white hues painted across the sky as I watch the … Continue reading The Bird’s Eye view
The corridors of Nigerian politics
- a personal reflection on Ayisha Osori's Book “Love Does Not Win Elections. In the hustle and bustle of frequent travel, I've cultivated a fascinating habit - always having a paperback in hand to read whether high above the clouds or whilst waiting in the airport lounge. Typically, I gravitate towards self-help tomes, but every … Continue reading The corridors of Nigerian politics
Embracing Authenticity
Apparently, it’s easier for me to write than to piece together my experiences in a reel. In the fast-paced world of content creation dominated by flashy IG reels and captivating videos, putting out long reads as posts isn’t exactly the trendiest way to reach a ton of people. I know. But IG reels (videos) stress … Continue reading Embracing Authenticity
I never wrote PART 2. Well till now.
Two years ago, I penned a post, a post that would be my last for so long. It was the end of the year, and I was sharing all I was grateful for. Should you be inclined, you can explore it here. Despite the pandemic, numerous good things graced my life. However, nestled within that … Continue reading I never wrote PART 2. Well till now.
End of Year Note – Grateful and More…
There is a lot to say as a lot has happened. Might be cliché to write I do not know where to begin, but it is true: I have no idea where to begin.
Yes, you should gift with notes!
Yes, you should gift with notes! Sometimes an item reminds you of someone or something.

Chances
I needed to go. The thought made me scared because I had no idea what awaited me, it seemed like the right thing to do at the time. In retrospect, I guess I was right. Alphonsus had never shared the story before but the worried look on his granddaughter’s face prompted the flow of a … Continue reading Chances
Moments in the Future
While strolling the streets of Instagram, I came across a call for short stories. 150 -200 words short. Not exceeding 1,500 characters kind of short. That should be easy right? Turns out it wasn't so much. When you do not use a gift, it tends to leave you or be taken from you. Can I … Continue reading Moments in the Future

Verklempt! My Timeline of enjoyment
April was fantastic. As the subject title clearly depicts, it was overwhelming, overwhelmingly good, and positive. As a Christian, the Easter season, and the joy of knowing, being in Christ and celebrating His resurrection made this month special. I also had so much fun with friends and family on several occasions, and there were a … Continue reading Verklempt! My Timeline of enjoyment
Living and Learning
It's good to have someone you look at, learn from, look up to, etc. a mentor, but the moment you no longer apply yourself to learn on your own what you’ve picked up, you would most likely get lost. The absence of that person would reveal that your foundation is shaky because you rely solely on them.

Why we Fight…
I remember thinking to myself last month that things couldn’t get worse. Well, guess what! Not only did it get worse, there’s no clear out yet.
HALF BIRTHDAY! Yaay…
A while back, I heard this for the first time, I’d say almost 10 years ago. I was in such a mood and this happened to cheer me up then. Is this a real thing and why write about this? I’ll give you the 411.
