Dear God,

Dear God, Its your baby girl from Surulere, Lagos, Nigeria. West Africa. Africa. Earth. I know you are there. I know you always, always hear me. Even if I whisper. I'm sad. I'm clueless. I'm lost. I'm terrified. I'm tired. But I know you know all these. Because you are God. Please don't leave me to myself. I'm sorry if I may have run ahead of you, or deliberately lagged behind. I'm sorry if I have become highminded of myself and pushed you aside. I'm sorry if I haven't respected you at any time of my day. I'm sorry for consciously ignoring all your beacons to come back to you. I'm sorry for saying, thinking and doing what you've made clear that you don't like. I'm sorry that when you looked down from Heaven and saw me, you couldn't smile. I'm sorry for not making you proud. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.. I'm sorry... I can't remember the last time I heard your Spirit talk to me. I can't re

When moving forward, do you consider those left behind?

When asked 'who wants to be successful in life' in any gathering of people despite their ages, everyone raises their hands. (or I hope everyone does). Everyone wants to be successful. Drake sef sing am: 'I just wanna be successful'. Just like the popular saying: 'the top is very lonely' because only few people can get there. For example in a bank; there are so many front desk officers and only one chairman (or woman *wink*) I have undergone series of interviews for different positions, most times its exhilarating when you get a call back, but imagine those who didn't get. I'm not saying its your fault that they weren't called back, its part of life sef: win some, loose some. But just take a few seconds to think of how those who didn't get called back feel, put yourselves in their shoes. What brought about this thought you might ask?. A couple of persons and I are waiting to be assigned at work, some people in our batch have been assigned, wh

Customer is King!

Lemme begin by saying you are either a customer or dealing with one, whether it's buying or selling any commodity, you are either rendering service or benefiting from one. So service to customers take place every other second of the day. Even the mere act of reading this post is a form of service been rendered by me. I recently heard that the 21st century customer is crazy, lazy and busy. I'm sure if I personally ask everyone I know if they've had any form of bad customer services before, I won't just have one story per person. In fact I'm sure most people have more bad service than good customer service. Anytime I hear of someone's bad customer service, I usually take a second or two and think: the person who didn't meet up to the customer's needs at the appropriate time, Does it mean that this person is repeatedly bad at what they do? Or is this the person's first mishap? Or was it just one day of hormone imbalance?. I legit always put myself i

Double blessings: burden or gifts?

Everyone knows this Gospel Nigerian song (although I'm sure half of us don't know the originator of the song) that goes like this: 'Everything na double double, na double double.' Some people even add triple or fourple to it.. Hehe I have this pastor that says ' when double wahala comes you people should know you asked for double of everything oh'.. Haha. Today in church; someone was praying for me, she said ' God would embarss you with blessings, I'm not joking, He would grant you multiple blessings, give you fourple blessings'. Someone over heard this last line of the conversation and said 'like quadruplets'.. I literally laughed out loud, I was like abeg oh.. Then the person said 'ah don't laugh, at least your mommy kuku likes kids, she would help you'. In which I replied and said 'she must be the one that would carry them and nurse them'.. I'm sure you are wondering 'where am I going with this?' Lol. We

Story of my life.

Sometimes I wonder if this happens to me only: Do you ever have some days that all you did was sleep and eat and watch TV and wonder why time is going so slowly and continue this cycle till the day is over? And then another random day you just have a whole lot, I repeat a whole lot to do and not enough time? And then wish like close your eyes and wish you could relive the day you had literally nothing to do? Well that is occasionally happens to me. Today was one of those days I had a whole lot to do. (If I am being honest, I have been having such days ever since I stepped into 2016, sigh!) I had back to back classes so I couldn't make my friend's bridal shower *tears*. I couldn't even eat (me that likes food *more tears*). I also have to read and read like my brain is about to explode! (Trust me, reading is tiresome). Had cramps too. Got home to chores, so many chores.. Sigh. I was about to say thankfully there's light at least I'll sleep in comfort and they jus
