She is a time bomb waiting to explode She knows her value She won't bulge You can take her to the cleaners She was washed before you decided to wash her She isn't arrogant You are just unhappy because she beats your imagination You can't unravel her She keeps her cat close Adore her or lick her feet Hate or shame Victory or vanquish Joy exceeding happiness Either way she remains THE QUEEN!

Tomi thinking loud.... I don't want to go late to work again.  There is something about this Monday morning that she feels crazy about.  She looks into the mirror and sees a 30year old beautiful mother.  Her shape still intact even after one and she is glad her job is paying her well. While combing her hair she remembers her perfume and thought to herself 'I wish my hubby finds me beautiful and 'choppable' tonight.' Dayo comes out of the bath room and stares at his wife.  So he says to her 'you think you are beautiful? I wonder how your boss copes at work.  You good for nothing woman.  You think your job is all that matters while you sleep around'. Tomi was not sure of her response as tears rolls down her eyes.  Adorable Tomi is in this assault for two years.  Her hubby keeps insulting her.  His words is affecting her at work.  From being proactive to inconsistent and rude.  Some of her colleagues can notice her glow varnish.

Why do we think we must do peoples bidding? You cannot satisfy everyone. You do it right they talk,  you do it wrong they talk so why do you think you must have their approval? Nobody can tell your story like you do so don't allow anyone intimidate you to silence.  Moreover,  the dead are constantly talked about and even lied on. Either way,  people would talk. Once I attended a wedding full of glamour,  there was so much to eat and drink yet I heard people complaining about the wedding. What can one ever do that it won't be talked about sef? My dear,  do that which you have always desired to do.  Take that risk,  that path to success is waiting for only your foot print to thread it. I am talking to you,  you have got all it takes to succeed. I tell you the truth,  if you are determined even the universe won't stop you rather they would come as a force to help you out. Start it today,  make an effort to forgive,  ...

So I saw a post where someone said that obsanjo’s letter was exaggerated. I don’t know what the writer of that post meant by exaggeration because if it is bothering on immense hunger-poverty then that letter is not exaggerated. Obsanjo said “The lice of poor performance in government- poverty, insecurity, poor economic management, nepotism, gross dereliction of duty, condonation of misdeed- if not outright encouragement of it, lack of progress and hope for the future, lack of national cohesion and poor management of internal political dynamics and widening inequality- are very much with us today. With such lice of general and specific poor performance and crying poverty with us, our fingers will not be dry of ‘blood’. As Nigerians, what is exaggerated about all he has said? Why do we continue to allow sentiments play with core human values of life and dignity? Is the former President, Olusegun Obsanjo a saint? No he is not. There were cases of corruption during his tenure which ha...

New Man: Oyeah,  that's My Girl!  I love what I see in your eyes....Life.  life is all I see,  it's returning to you.  I want you to discover you while I wait for you to discover me. Young Lad...

I was 18 years when I got admitted into the University. It felt good to be admitted into the university immediately after secondary school because I had worked hard to pass my WEAC and NECO examinations. My parents were happy my name was on the merit list as they told their friends how I worked night and day to be admitted into the university. I was determined to graduate from the university with good grades as my parents had promised that I will further my academics overseas and I looked forward to that day. Excelling in my academics came with much ease as I had friends with like minds. My friends were not from this world as they were mischievous girls who were too proud to notice they made more enemies than friends.  I liked the fact that my friends were fine in all sense as they gradually created a niche for themselves. My friends had the best of guys on campus ask them out, but for me relationship was not on my mind as I viewed it as a distraction. That n...

I went to work one morning, amidst pressure and everyone trying to meet up with deadline, my colleagues still find a way to laugh and throw banters. At every point someone tries to break the silence of everyone straight faced to a laptop, the person comes up with a story of juju. Having had a deep reflection I made this quote and posted on facebook. “an average Nigerian is traditional in mind. Sadly education is not a guarantee to their liberation.” A colleague of mine saw it and asked which one be this one again? So we spoke about the post, about our conversation and I made jest of how they carry juju in mind amidst academic enlightenment. What I realised was that I tried to exempt myself from that post, I tried to look at myself as liberal but the truth is, I am what my post said. During my undergraduate days, in the bid to make extra money and relief my parents of having to spend so much on me, I was involve in selling perfume, eggs and making deliveries. While adver...
