In People and Society • 3 min read The Pursuit of Happiness is one of those movies that will get you serious about your life. Relax, this is not a movie review. Have you ever paused to question the reason we're all so busy on this not-so-green earth? Sincerely, there are days when I'm super pumped because I know my hard work will ...

In People and Society • 3 min read If you grew up in Nigeria and you're in your mid- or late 20's, I believe you can recall those fond moments when your dad returns from work and you're all screaming, Daddy Oyoyo, Daddy Oyoyo, Daddy Oyoyo! In some of the cases, our dad's will form hard guy and tell us to behave and stop jumping, b...

In Banking and Finance • 3 min read I made my first million when I was 12 years old. Relax, it wasn't exactly 1 million naira; it was 3,000 naira. Looking back, it did feel like a million naira. Don't judge me, and please read till the end to get the real gist. You see, when I was 12, SEGA and PS 2 were in Vogue, and it just happen...

In Business Development • 2 min read 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. The vendor selling bread only kept her stock beside the Akara spot. On Wednesday, I bought bottled water beside a construction site on my street. There ...

In Literature, Writing and Blogging • 3 min read 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. They have forced the popular but annoying term WAZOBIA down our throats since birth. They relegated us and thought of...

In Literature, Writing and Blogging • 3 min read Many know my story; if you don't, you were born last night. I wasn't always like this, but I am not going back to who I was. I believe my destiny was forged by the gods, and like Ares, I will bring war to those who cross me. I've known pain, death, love, fear, and hope. I now know that the bigges...

In People and Society • 3 min read There are days when the only option on the table is to give up. Days where nothing makes sense. You eat till you're filled but still wallow in emptiness. Laughter is the new face of depression. If I say I've walked on water, it's because my tears overflow. I've fellowshipped with chaos so much th...

In Career and Jobs • 2 min read All banks in Nigeria have my CV! You may think I'm joking, but I believe it's true. In fact, you can call me the king of applications. I've gotten to a stage where I apply to all kinds of jobs because I believe there's nothing I can't learn. After over 50 physical interviews, I think I can share ...

In Relationships • 2 min read One of my favourite track events is the 4x100m relay race. Against popular opinion, this event is more about proper baton exchange than speed. Maybe it's a mixture of both. The fastest team doesn't always win, and this plays out when the baton falls. Most times, we play down the fact that most re...
