Below you'll find a list of all posts from 2019
What’s the point of living if all you feel is an unending cycle of despair, struggling to keep your head above water and few flashes of happiness that don’t seem to last? I had written an entirely different end of year post in my head before today. It was going to be a post filled with retrospect of 2019. A …
“Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets” – Matthew 7 vs 12. This is one verse of the bible I don’t resonate with. It’s almost as if it’s the things I’d never do to others, people keep doing to me. Something happened ending last month that …
“Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination or forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing” – August Wilson I hate that my first reaction to crises is thoughts of disappearing. I find myself fading to a place where I get lost in thoughts of how easier it …
Hiking Mount Kilimanjaro which magnificently stands at 5,985meters above sea level has been a major bucket list item for years. My interest was established in 2014 when @Osams summited it, though much thought was not given to it until June 2018. While flying back to Nigeria from Zanzibar last year, I caught a glimpse of the mountain peak and my …
Touring Lebanon has always been a bucket list item, though I wasn’t keen on it thanks to the media portrayal of the country. Like my last minute decision to tour U.A.E, this trip came as an afterthought when plans for my preferred trip got cancelled. I’m glad I embarked on the trip even though it had me exceeding my travel …
N/B: I know this review is coming two weeks late. I needed to be sure I was not making the same mistake I did with Everything is love (joint album by Jay-z and Beyonce). The excitement that gets me with every new Beyonce album release is real. I remember on first listen I felt like wow! This album is so …
Few days ago I woke up to this song playing – Recover by X Ambassadors off of their new album (Orion). The lyrics hit me – “I will recover, I’ll be okay, I’m gonna own my pain…” I had been pissed about a situation I led myself into. I was having misplaced anger towards my ex, though I was the …
The United Arab Emirates was not among my top two Easter vacation choices. When plans fell through for other locations, I had to make do with Dubai. I was not initially keen on the trip, I mean it’s like the 37th State of Nigeria. It feels like a cliché saying you are going to Dubai for a holiday. I saw …
After a long day at the office, I got down to my favourite activity just before sleep comes: scrolling through Twitter to get updates on what has been going on around the world. I use Twitter mostly as source of News and an avenue to release all the crazy going on in my head. It’s also been worthwhile as regards …
I spent a better part of the month going through about 40 albums released in 2018. As with previous years, my list usually comprises top 10 albums but this time around, after reviewing and shortlisting 21 albums, I couldn’t but end the list with Top 12 albums. I need to make it clear about the criteria I used. I …
