Don't bury me abroad
Keep me by my roots
Where my father toiled
In torn Leather boots
Take me back to motherland
Where my mother's land
Was bought in her brother's name
Where we learned that blood is thicker than water
And we fear dearly our parents cane
So we used our head ...

Have you ever gone for an event that blew your mind? I mean the type that you can spend hours talking about. Good events don't happen by chance. Why remain average when you can be special?

If we were all the same, the world would be a very boring place. I think our differences make us more interesting and make life worth living.

Marketers de try. Again Marketers de try. I've been on a sales journey for the last 3 years, and I can tell you categorically that it is the hardest job on the planet!

Four years ago, I joined millions of Nigerians to make demands of the government. These demands were under the umbrella of #Endsars. We walked the streets of Nigeria, asking for things that should ideally be provided. Imagine begging for your own rights. It's sad how things turned out. I believed...

If you've ever tried to run a business, no matter how small it was, you will agree with me that it's not for the weak. In fact, it's equally not for the strong! Sometimes you do everything right, but things go wrong. In other cases, your product and value proposition are great, but people are fac...

There are two foo foo vendors in my area. One is 30 seconds away, and the other is about 7 minutes away from my place. No matter how hungry I am, I typically walk down to the vendor that's 7 minutes away. Yes, I'm loyal like that. I can equally purchase five foo foo from the vendor close to me, b...

I woke up this morning feeling quite generous. I think it's tied to the fact that I slept from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. I'm not even going to lie; I felt great and super pumped this morning. I exercised for about 45 minutes. My legs felt sore. After the workout, I thought to myself what meal I should pre...

This morning, I went to buy just Akara, but I ended up buying Akara, bread, and Ogi. Here's the point: the lady selling Akara equally sells Ogi.

A boy seeks freedom, but a man sets boundaries. We, the people of Etebi, have lost our freedom, and our boundaries have been set ablaze by our brothers who speak another language.
