I have always said I hate the attention that comes with birthdays. I used to see birthdays as just another day, or a day to remind you that you are growing older and getting your shoulders burdened with more responsibilities. What fun could that be really? My plan was to stay low. I even joked about calling in sick at …

#np: Travelers song – Future of Forestry (piano and string version) My status on Whatsapp virtually throughout the month of September was ‘Wake me up when September ends’, sampling a song by the band – Greenday.  The plan was to zone out and float through September. But life as usual, had other plans as I was basically the only one …

I have come to the sad realization that most people really don’t want a decent guy/girl. Mostly, people just want someone they can secretly do those things they denounce openly and act like they are really decent peeps with high moral standing. I’m not saying I’m perfect or shii but common, the crap out there these days is just a …

Some say that pain of the heart is the worst kind to experience. There is no surgery, no medicine, no band-aid that will truly minimize the suffering. That dull, chronic pain feels like it is with you every where you go. It’s at the core of your thoughts, it haunts you right before you go to sleep — it feels …

Joe King of The Fray (music band) once stated in an interview that his lyrics were mainly inspired by his experiences with the band: “With success, you have a lot more drama. For me, it was extreme highs in career and extreme lows in a relationship. There were really obvious things to write about.” Well, I guess I can say …

#np: The time of my live – David cook Last weekend, Saturday precisely after attending Word Unspoken (a gospel rap show sort of) at the Uniben Auditorium I decided to chill at one of the school’s field with my pal – Osamudiamen. The weather was cool as it rained the previous day and there was light showers earlier that morning. …

THE THING ABOUT BEING CHEATED ON…

Last week Sunday I woke up to the news on twitter about Toke Makinwa’s cheating husband. I won’t go into the insensitive trash people were posting. Social media has given opportunity for silly people to air their unintelligent opinions. We get it’s our thing to joke about bad situations in the county but still, not everything should be taken as a joke …

Weekend came early last week. May 1st (worker’s day) was on Friday. It was a public holiday but of course, I had some left over work I needed to clear up at the office. I got done with work by 3pm then headed to my colleagues’ place. I wasn’t going to risk spending the weekend/public holiday alone and allow those …

#np: You could be happy – Snow Patrol Truly, no man is an island… This was supposed to be a happy note. April started well for me. I had already planned how I was going to detail my activities for the month but apparently life always has its way of making mockery of your plans. April 1st, April fools day. …
