Day Twenty Six- #40DaysAppreciation Challenge
To the Nursing mothers With their joyful womb’s fruit You are a blessing to this world You’re the reason this world is still here You who endured the months Travailing through the pains of child birth Yet Nurturing us with tenderness Enduring our delicate excesses Keeping sleepless nights I keep wondering how my mom coped […]
Day Twenty Three- #40DaysAppreciation Challenge
To the Danfo Driver The ever conscious Danfo driver The ever vigilant Lagos driver Experts in the game of the road Navigating through miles of uneasiness To and fro, like a pendulum Enduring the wear and tear How much does he even make? Does it commensurate the effort? Enough to keep his wife and kids? […]
Day Fifteen-#40DaysAppreciation Challenge
I saw them laughing hysterically As they rounded up their meals The look in her eyes Same of a newly Wed Yet well advanced in age “I Love you deeply”, she said. But just this morning, She had fought him For he had forgotten it Her birthday, Not that he really forgot But he had […]
Day Fourteen-#40DaysAppreciation Challenge
To the single mothers To the single daddies Saviours of a rather odious circle It’s even not about what happened Nor a question of how you got here But of your endurance and optimism Of your emerging response-ability How you manage to keep going on Your head above the murky oceans Of guilt, discrimination, and […]
Day Eight- #40DaysAppreciation Challenge
#LoveWednesday I remember the day #Adeola-mi said ‘Yes’, and I wrote about it, someone said congratulations and I was like “like seriously?”…Congratulations ké? Àbí, “Roll up your sleeves and get to work!” Relationship is no beans. It’s not a deal for light-hearted guys. Let’s not even go to marriage. It’s easier to read my #LoveWednesday […]

Day Six- #40DaysAppreciation Challenge
It’s easy for people like me to come boldly on social media to write, talk, and post our opinions about issues, and many can take that boldness as arrogance and mere youthful exuberance. Many my even be offended that we write about things that seem to be beyond our age, or that involves people who […]
Day Two – #40DaysAppreciation Challenge
When you haven’t fallen so hard, disappointed yourself, and done the things you’ve promised God…no, boasted to God you’ll never do, it’s easy to stand on the streets and talk about God’s judgement, his other side, his anger and all such thing. I look at my life today, not from a book, nor from what […]
