Life has been rather slow recently. The world seems to be in an unending rollercoaster, and things have truly evolved. One thing we can all agree on is the fact that, when this Coronavirus pandemic ends, our lives will change. What we pray for and seek is that this change will be good for us. Currently, it feels like, I just want…Continue Reading
My phone says it’s 12:14 am on the 25th of January 2020. Tears are streaming down my face. I have tried to stop them, but the liquid keeps pouring. Everything else seems to dwindle by the minute. I still feel like a fraud, especially in my job. I freeze. A lot. I still don’t think I can do this. By…Continue Reading
2019 was one hell of a year- figuratively and literally. I’ve tried to write this several times and when I finally did, the entire post was erased somehow. It took my whole being to write it in the first place, so this was followed by a lot of crying, frustration and asking myself whether I should give up or nah?…Continue Reading
The whirlwind that was the second third (the past four months) of 2019 is not easy to describe. You know how you feel like things cannot be any different- not worse- just different.

My Instagram and my ex-blog have seen some of this over the past three years, but you see THIS blog right here, there’d be a lot of it here. If this is your first…Continue Reading
Happy New Quarter! Have you ever felt utterly unprepared for a coming year? On my end, 2019 was that year. I mean, I saw it coming, but for the first time in years, I had no real goals. Zilch. Nada. None. I would usually have a yearly recap on the blog as I did in 2016 and 2017, a list…Continue Reading
It is one week to the General Elections in Nigeria and I write all words here with anger- not righteous anger- just plain old pure, Nigerian anger. The kind that makes you surprised that you’re angry. The kind that leads you to shout at the bus conductor who expects you to let your 20 Naira change go although he would…Continue Reading
Life sucks and here’s why sometimes you need to suck too. You really need this!
Self-love is being preached everywhere I go. I am not quite sure if it’s just how my social media is set up but I keep coming across the act of self-love. As a teenager, I had no real idea of this concept because honestly all was quite well in my world. When adulthood began to force herself into my life…Continue Reading
