The best day of my life and my experience. I have been in prison before. Okay, this is a secret. No one knew this before now. The year was 2017. I had already spent almost a year in prison before my sentence was delivered. Prior to sentencing, prisoners were kept two in a cell and periodically, they were taken blindfolded to be interrogated. Interrogation isn't a funny experience. You would not like to experience it.The torture was something else. The suspects are tied to a…
Poor Mindset Hey I was in the bank a few days ago when l heard someone say; "Thank God l am poor!" A full grown man with bear bear thanking God for being poor. E be things o! How will someone calm down and decide not to have sense? Poverty mindset is a belief that life is full of scarcity, that things are hard to get, that money is hard to earn, and that things are impossible without money. It is a process that you consciously sabotage yourself from flowing into the energy…
An Important Time in African History It's the November gathering - the root of every evil. November 136 years ago came with the conference that would later divide Africa - the Berlin Conference of 1884 convened by Otto Von Bismarck who was then the chancellor of the German empire. The purely economic summit dressed up as rather humanitarian was held to discuss the African problem. But how can you discuss the problem of a person when they are not present? That is, Africa's…
Misunderstanding-True life Story The phone chimed and he picked it up. it was a text. He opened it and it was a message from the network providers. Somehow, he scrolled down and saw another I replied someone with... "... I love you too" He turned to me and with the coldest tone a man with the deepest baritone could have, he said, "Bunchie, what is this?" I tried to explain... "This was an honest reply I gave to a friend, who, out of a grateful heart for all the help I gave…
Kindness In The Midst of Storms This morning, I made a commitment to be kind to someone in my physical space today. (I'm reading Olson's The Slight Edge .) This doesn't mean I'm always unkind. It's just that for today, I decided be deliberate in doing good to one person. At least ONE human being. I decided on a lone beneficiary because I felt I wouldn't interact with many people today since I work from home. However, because there was some outdoor business to execute, I…

Down The Memory Lane The memories haunts me every night in my sleep, I'm sure if I had a memory loss, I'll never forget that night I allowed a mere quarrel generation into eon regrets. It's no story I love girls, guess every man is labeled a womanizer but I play down on it because I grew up with my 4 sisters and I have an idea of their tricks. It wasn't up to two years when we moved into that area, I was a novice and shy person looking for friends when we met by the well on…
Stoic Calm My teacher taught me how to stay under the sun without getting burn, to endure pains, feel the hurt and never show it, to step on fire as though am standing on a cool ice. He warns me not to act as an expert but a novice because that is the way of continuous study and learning. And I should never be vulnerability member, as his student he advised, “look here my child, I stand on the sword age bleeding yet I still smile, have been almost stone to death as Stephen…
My Gloomy Days My quest, my wish, my intention and my desire to die rather than living a nobody.. This phase is being dedicated to every desperate being on earth. I fell in a thousands of dream Like the places water flowing stream Like the sky the waters cascade from Then landed without the trumpet horn. Like the dust wind from sky to dust I could not stand as I fell back to dust I could not see through the thick cloud. As the dust stuck my weak back. My gaze on the sky in…
Favourite movies I don't get tired of watching. I will get tired , after two or three times. Worthy mentions. 1. Breakthrough, Miracles in Heaven, The shack -These movies reminds me of the importance of trusting God. It is easy to say we trust God when everything is going on well, what happens when the bulb is out and there's such thick darkness gripping your heart that you feel death could make more sense? It is important to have patient faith. 2. Beyond the Lights - The…
A Kiss To Remember It was the 31st night of the 5th month through the 1st day of the 6th month in the year I became 13, this wasn't my 1st time, of course I wasn't a good child as I had danced and suckled on her grace thrice before this time, her lips ever so gracious, I had just returned from a traditional marriage, stress knew me but as I beheld her grace, the rest is a story you can tell, we dined and wined, watched romcom's together, the night was filled with bliss until…
Address The Negative Maybe Things could be different if you take time to address the negative thoughts. It might turns out to be a solution to that problem. Maybe negative thought are the actual positive thought we should act on, and positive thought are the mirage of what we want to believe to be true because we can't handle the undesirable thought. Do you know? Negative thoughts are indication that, there is a solution to what borders you? Its a light that shows you a…
Happy Without Me Trying to figure out where love resides previously All those love that lasted for some hours All those loves I think I had yesterday Am still wondering about their location today The excitement and memories we shared The poetic words we uttered even without knowing them The beautiful ladies that left and the ones I left without good-byes Yesterday we were both happy, Today we don't want to see our faces Maybe that's how life was meant to be I draw my chair…

Romantic Love Story Here comes the lady I offered to help at GTBank the other day while she was at the counter expressing her frustration. What happened? She had come to Ikorodu for a project and needed to withdraw some funds for the project. Unfortunately or should I say fortunately, the branch she had walked into did not run slip transactions so she was stuck because she wasn't with her ATM. There I was, in the banking hall caught up by her sense of confidence. The way she…
Cries Under Bravery Extreme mental cruelty, that existed under my final days, disappointed by laws and felt humiliated by rank Betrayed by close partners Abandoned by tight friends. Subjected to illegal court with legal jurisdictional powers yet endured with dignity Scourged, severally beaten, dropped deep strip like laceration in appreciable cries Impaled in with maximum thorns of pains yet endured for you to smile If you see a soldier, respect the uniform. Python dance…
Where You Stand A Must Read Ai- Artificial intelligence as it is called a state where Robotics strive and our jobs is loss to machines. Which can do better than and yield an excellent result so that every company owner can have accuracy, efficiency, productivity, save time and above all make profit. If you were a CEO wouldn't you invest in such a thing? Now the issue is not the question of investing in AI as it is common sense for every business inclined person to do so. The…
Prudence We pulled over at a bakery to get some bread. We picked more than we wanted because the bread was still very hot! Fresh from the oven! On getting to the cashier, we realized we picked more than the cash available so I felt bad. We can't withdraw or use POS as I wasn't with my wallet so I settled with the idea of returning the bread. My wife whispered that she will be back that she thinks she has some spare change in her bag. She hurried to the car, did some digging…
Fear women ooo . Yesterday, my wife took my debit card and went out. A short while after, I got an alert. Well, I'm used to it. O ti mọ mi lara. When she got back, I told her about the alert I got. She just shrugged. I'm a palliative. So we got to the Owambe this afternoon. I was dancing on my seat jejely. My wife asked me to stand and dance. I wanted to ask questions but I know the First Law of Marriage, "Thou shall not question thy wife". So I stood up and danced to the…
Story of Me If your parent bought goodies when you were sick please come lets protest. We must end this. In our bloodline every one had had sour throat, if you grew up as a child and you haven't been sour throat positive, oh, a recheck have to be done. From my childhood to early teen sour throat was my daily bread. If I got diagnose and treated this month, in the next month sour throat will whisper ''you have no better friend than me.'' Well, I came to tam with my…
How Social Etiquette is Lacking in Our Society I was with a group of friends the other day and we had such great conversations. We talked about how social etiquette is lacking in our society and the urgent need for people to learn how to behave properly in social gatherings and on social media. It is true that a large percentage of the teeming world population spend their time on social media. These days, two people could sit next to each other and not even share a glance as…
Closer by the Day Yesterday, I felt much more closer to my mom. I was thinking in my head, "this woman is my mother". Like she wasn't before. She shared the story of an event that happened recently with me about a man who raped a little girl of five. Someone also shared the story with her and she said she asked what was being done about that and the reply was that the people in the family are saying it's a family issue and they are arranging for a family meeting to discuss…
One Word. One Wish The day I am ready to make the switch to Photography officially, it is over. As a teenager and young adult, the quality and depth of photo and video documentary that I saw on NatGeoWild kept me awake at night. It made me dream. I had actually forgotten those dreams until I started taking pictures of nature with my phone. I was always saddened that there was no Nigerian representation of nature in those documentaries. I saw the wealth of our environment and…
Matrimonial Home, Not Husband's House I just remembered how my parents back then usually stress how I will thrown out of my husband's house if I continue doing this and that... That notion has always pissed me off! Lets look at it this way... Sun and rain are two different and Opposing phenomena But their individual and distinct services are needed to nurture a plant. One is not superior to the other in the affairs of plant growth, the sun doesn't own the plant and the rain…
The Country I Live In! A Shame To The World We seek for our rights, They kill us instead! Leaders of tomorrow, Fired and eliminated! We protest in peace, They react with war! Singing peace and unity, living in a warzone! The blood they she'd, cries for vindication! They refuse to listen, they pay deaf ears! Old lunatics, full of greed! Hardship upon hardship, their gift to us! Their only concern, their pockets and family! Bloodshed! A normal to them! They soil their hands,…
Even Laziness Requires Consistency This one is hilarious right? A consistent lazy person As funny as it may sound, it's true. To be fully lazy and unproductive, you need to be consistent my people. So when people say " I'm so lazy, I don't think I can keep up with being consistent" I tell them that even being lazy requires your consistency. In my words, if you're not consistent with anything you're not it. I know I slacked early this month and I didn't share the book club…
Watching From A Distance Steadfast and unmoved I stood Unsure of my world I watched Those who fell to the ground And those who threw themselves to the ground Those who gave thanks to God And those who murmured in skepticism Those who sang in deep sorrow And those who listened in sober reflection Those who were too full to speak And those who lamented in depth Those who ran about in confusion And those who sat as though without hope Being at a distance I continued to watch.
Cure For The Lukewarm Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: so shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man _ PROVERBS 24:33-34 Lukewarmness in our Kingdom (Zion) is very deceptive, cunning and destroying. Lukewarmness creeps into One's life through procrastination, I will do it tomorrow, and tomorrow comes and the statements points to another tomorrow until nothing is done, then frustration and regrets…
The Missing Piece (Intensity) As an addict, I suffered just like the way you're suffering. I would promise myself that I will never do it again. Times I got so cross and told God, that if I should do it again, He should kill me! Mind you I was a Christian, lover of God, but something was at work in me I couldn't explain! I would unwilling be surfing the internet with shaking hands, I would terrible and yet still look. I could feel my spirit fighting n fighting but always…
Why did you start your business? In 2013, I received a call from my Dad that changed my life forever He told me that his goods had been seized by Customs and that he had could no longer pay back the money he had borrowed from the Bank. At first, I didn't understand the full import of what he meant---we were a financially comfortable family and my father was going to pull through this in no time. So I thought. I was wrong. Before long, my dad told my sister and I that he…
