The Pot At The End of The Rainbow
The most important being on earth apart from God is you. The first time I heard that, I was scandalized. What the hell do you mean by that? I am that important? Years ago, God told me that after his opinion, what matters next in line is mine. Now, you might be thinking that I…

Fiction is fiction and life… well, life is not
Recently I said to my friend, “omo, we authors, we dey lieeeee.” (Just in case you didn’t know, I am an author. I write stories and poems.) When I said that, the Holy Spirit said “the whole idea of fiction is a make-believe. Creating what is not existent in the real world — what you…

Don’t Build A Camp in Misery
That is what God always say to me when I am either trying to ignore the pain in my heart or I am paying it much attention. He will say, “it is okay to grieve, but don’t build a camp in misery. Allow yourself to heal. Don’t push the pain away; don’t pretend as if…

Jailbreak
Few months ago, my roommate found the most atrocious insect God ever created in her hair. I am talking about lice. There was only one way to get it. So she messaged me to ask if I had lice. I checked my hair, and viola, there were lice in my hair. The question is not…

Lambano?
Have you ever wondered why, after you pray to God to give you something, He places it in the hands of someone around you instead of directly into your hands? Well, I have wondered. I didn’t stop at wondering, sef. I went forward to ask God. He did say we should bring forth our strong…

A Little Lesson From Makeup: Beautiful Mess
It was Friday evening, when my friend, who is a make-up artist, called me to ask if I wouldn’t mind having my face made up. And I was like, “are you kidding me? Of course, I’m interested!” P.S: those weren’t the words I said. I said “sure”, you know, sounding cool and all that. Anyhoo,…

I am a Nigerian
I read somewhere that it is a fact that Nigerians are the most resilient people. I guess that is true. I haven’t seen any other people who turns everything into cruise like Nigerians. From a previous first lady’s “bring back our girls” speech, to the latest agbado campaign. It seems whenever the wind shift and…
