Reflections

Finally you have all you’ve longed for and things are beginning to make sense after a tough period. Career wise, things are looking better. Financially, you are in a comfortable place. Generally, you feel successful and on the right track. You are grateful for where you are now. Then it suddenly hits you – there’s really no one to share …

So last week like every other week started with a promise. But by Wednesday I wished the week never started. By Wednesday morning a little war began at work. Then another came up – my very good friend in the office was missing. His wife said he didn’t get home the previous night. Her last sentence on the phone in …

I remember back then in my university days, how my classmates from Lagos kept hyping the state. I read stories and saw stuff about Lagos. In fact, I saw Lagos as Las Vegas. I longed to go there and live the life. Explore and have mad fun. Little did I know, truly, who nor go, nor go know as everything …

They say everything starts in a day…. Sometimes change seems good and easy to adapt to. Other times it’s just too hard a reality to accept. Say especially when things that never used to happen to you start becoming your lot. Things you hear other people say they experience and you just say ‘e ya’ when they narrate their not …

Nothing’s gonna change the fact we had good times. Such a shame life gets complicated and little beautiful things get ruined. Most times I try to not think of it or understand why things are the way they are now. It’s not important and it’s really not my business what people decide to do with themselves, but then it’s rather …

It was another Wednesday morning, all dressed up in my suit and tie… Scratch that, this is not some Afona kinda rap skit or Obiwanne and Hilda singing Maroon 5’s she will be loved under the rain kinda stuff. This is real shii that happened! Back to the matter. I once tweeted that most Lagos drivers are mad. That’s a fact, especially …

#np: Oblivion by Bastille At first it seemed like any other Friday evening after close of work. Earlier in the day, I had worried I might close a bit late, but it turned out closing time that day was going to be by 6:00pm (by my work schedule that was early). Just another Friday, weekend was here and there was …

‘Life is not what I thought it was twenty-four hours ago’ – Switchfoot (twenty four). Few months ago I felt low. I kept telling myself – ‘this isn’t where I ought to be’. I was surrounded by everything I felt I didn’t need. There was a change in the kind of persons I normally communicate with. I had time on …

Still marking the first anniversary of my passing out from the National Youth Service Corps, here’s another note I wrote long ago about the awkward things that happened to me during my service year. Enjoy! It was one awkward or weird experience to another throughout my NYSC year. It was as if the one week of horror in camp wasn’t …

It’s exactly a year today I passed out from the National Youths Service Corps. To mark the first anniversary I have decided to share this note I wrote a long time ago. I never really had the perfect moment to share this thrilling experience of mine. Guess I have finally found the perfect moment. ENJOY! It was my first field …
