As with the previous parts of this series, I doubt I can extensively talk about this in one post so, expect a follow up some time later. I talked earlier about what informs my perspective on this series as a whole and how you may find it a bit tainted, once again bear with me, the dust on the road has coated my glasses. Still on the perspective thing, I’d be starting with the roads that I ply often and are somehow meant to be important to Lagos as a city….….  Drum roll!!!! The Lagos-Badagry road: This road is touted to be of economic importance (well, before the borders were shut) but I just can’t fathom how with the said importance, repairs are going at snail pace on the road. I recall some 12/13 years back--the road may not have been exceptionally good but it wasn’t this bad either--we would spend not more than an hour-thirty minutes (that’s even maximum) from our side of the mainland to the town itself (not by public transport). Four-five years later, the road was commiss

  As promised in my previous post , I’m back and we are still talking being intentional. Being intentional takes a lot of intent and commitment in the long run. Honestly, being intentional is not enough without being consistent regarding your intentions. Living intentionally may not be the easiest thing to do but it's worth giving a shot.   The year is still going and you probably are wondering: "How the heck do I jumpstart this being intentional thing?"

Create a big picture stemming from your answers to these questions and let them inform your goals. For a wholesome big picture, answer the above questions concerning your life in the following categories: Spiritual Physical (health and fitness etc) Emotional

Whoop whoop!!! 2020 is finally here and I believe we all have hopes that it was worth the hype and wait. Funny how a couple years back, quite a number of us were little children beholding visions of 2020 as far away in the future but alas! How time flies. Congratulations are in order, you made it to 2020, a turn of a new decade (or is it?).  As has become a custom here, I bring to you a thoughtful post to start the new year. December is turning out to be my most solemn month of each year where I find myself doing quite a bit of retro and introspection (I guess these thoughts are catalyzed by the quiet that comes with the month). Just before 2019 came to a wrap, the sole word that always accompanied my thoughts of 2020 was: INTENTIONAL and I think it is something y’all should be in on. I have come to realize that as pretty young children, the only thing that ever made the new year seem like a big deal for the fact that about that same time next year, there would have been a chang
