THE BLESSING CALLED FOOD

Posted on November 12, 2020

Today I watched a street urchin hungrily devour the left-over snack flung out from a moving car. Gratitude washed over me like morning dew.

I silently reprimanded my…

My 15 – 20 minutes journey to and from work daily has become a 2 hour journey and the many side effects are spreading fast to other areas of my life. I can’t help but join in the ‘#lagosnogospoil’ crusade as I desire some form of sanity restored back to Lagos roads. Apart from the fact that my 7 hours night rest doesn’t seem…

THE BLESSING OF FRIENDS

Posted on May 3, 2015

Friends are great to have, hold and love. I often imagine how boring our walk through life would be without the spice of friendship. Friends are priceless as they complement every aspect of our lives, they often serve as our adviser, loyalist, stylist/designer, experiment specie, gossip and mischief mate, merry and ‘waka’ partner, and the list is unending. Friends come in different shades, most are dependable while a few others are what we often refer to as ‘fair weather’ friends.…
