Lagos Insanity: A cry for Order

Lagos

You cannot see it all with Lagos traffic, it’s like the city does not know anything about order or common sense. The 2nd part of my road experience this week was the biggest deal that shook me more and really moved me to tears realizing how dysfunctional our society had become. Hope you have read […]

Abejoye Season 3: My Defender

God is a Defender and Abejoye Season 3 alludes to this. Have you ever enjoyed God as a Defender just like Olayiotan Abejoye did? One of Baba’s excesses was ringng prayer bells at the wee hours of the day and disrupting the family’s sleep and the way he screamed his son’s name to ask about […]

Lessons from my Father

It’s exactly a week my family observed 1-year remembrance of my Father’s death. The remembrance afforded me some time to reflect about my Dad and the lessons I can boldly say I learnt from him.  As a baby till the years I became a 2-digits birthday holder (because I had a baby sister when I was 9 nine years old), I was […]

Chain of Reactions

Happy weekend guys, how was the 2nd week of relaxed lockdown for you? First of, there is an unpleasant hike in transportation fare because bus operators are obeying the social distancing rule and they are being exploited by some law enforcement agencies. Anyway, we have no choice, we still have to board buses to work […]

Abejoye Season 2: The Peace Maker

Abejoye season 2 part 1 started with Baba’s victory song. Baba’s analogy of Pharaoh, King of Egypt as “Ifarahun, Oba Onijibiti” and the way he ‘nativised’ the scripture using proverbs and analogy would make you smile😀. Did I mention his style of prayer before the pastor taught him how to pray? It was epic😂, Baba […]

My May 4th Experience

Abéjoyé Season 1 Part 2: The King Maker

Abejoye season 1 part 1 ended when the Pastor drove Baba to the airport, all through the journey Baba kept talking of the shame that awaits him in Nigeria but you know what? God came through! The Holy Spirit had told the pastor not to take Baba to the airport rather to his(pastor) house. Of […]

All for the Gram?

If you have been working from home in this quarantine, you will agree with me that working from home is actually more demanding than working from the office. So, if not properly managed you can be caught in the web of being overwhelmed even while you work from home.  Personally, I have been making attempts […]

Retracing to My First Love
