Lord, When Can I Practice This My Hot Slap?
I said I would not talk but I can't hold myself. I said I would fashi the matter but my body is doing me somehow. I said, "Chioma, wait till tomorrow when you may be calmer but my blood dey boil." How can you be meeting a sister for the first time to tell her about your intention to pursue a relationship with her and the next thing is to reach for any of her private body parts, to kiss her or even to ask for one?

I remember the tears too. But somehow I made the right one. I said somehow but I mean the Hand of the Lord. He has been guiding me safely along this way. I won’t be afraid anymore, Lord. I don relax for this back seat wey you prepare for me. Sha dey carry me go where I no know. This is me raising another memorial stone on this blue app. This is me officially documenting here that Abba,…

Where is my Uncountable Trillion Dollars?
Tonight is one of those nights I spend wondering about money. “Lord, that power to make wealth you talked about, explain it small, please. Are you still giving it to me abi, you already gave it cause I don’t understand these days…” Then I proceed to the self-pity stage.

Mouth Weightlifting Champions Amongst Us
Even if you’re the National Mouth Weightlifting Champion or plan a future as one, why is your mouth this heavy? I came today to forcefully discourage you from this career path because it cannot take you anywhere. My dear when you see something you like, just say so. It removes nothing from you but adds everything. Make giving compliments a part of you. “Sis, I love your hair. How did you get that twist!” “Congrats on that new certificate. Oh boy, I’ll like to do the same one day.” “My brother, that shoe is it for two?” “I love that presentation you did. I have never seen it in that…

Have You Met a Programming Guru Today?
I did not see only heads. I saw God's hands. Each of the bubbly youth looked different from the next person standing close to them. They had all come from diverse locations and none together. Still, they met at that particular point: 10:40 am; Sunday 30th April 2023; Mount Zion Institute's Chapel, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria.

Humans are the Real Superheroes
When we were little, we were told we had to start thinking about the future. "What would you like to be in the future?" They asked us. Everyone asked the same question in different ways: "Why?" We were confused. "Why do we have to become something in the future?"

Be Calming Down
Do you ever feel like taking your fight public? I mean shaming someone through a public platform that you use? Squash that need for public approval and media support for your argument. It’s childishness. It destroys relationships. I looooove hearing from you!

Bro Churchill, Kneel Down
Why have you sworn to dispatch God's body to the different ends of the world when you're not a delivery agent? Why can you not allow us to be one? These days, we have even forgotten your name. If not for your Church which you remind us of at every opportunity, we would not have what to call you by now...
