As February is a weird month (number of days), I deem it appropriate to do this now. So, I have a couple of write ups that I just can't seem to place. Tbh, I didn't really plan to write them, like, I didn't give them much thought prior to grabbing my pen. When I was done with my pen however, they ended up making sense. So, right now, I'm like, "why not?" * shrugs shoulders *    I'm a weirdo—not the regular type of person, don't ask what regular is * covers face *—even if I say so myself and these posts have some weird undertone in my eyes. Well, I'd be turning them into a blog series (I did one earlier, here, here and here), that seems like the best and sensible thing to do. The series would be named thus: WEIRD-ISH . I'm hoping you find them fun and interesting to read and hopefully, not too weird.    This is just to usher the series and wish y'all a fab and fulfilling month. The posts would be weekly, commencing next week. Stay tuned...

 I wrote this article last year but somehow, it was pushed to the background like many of my journaled posts. Well, well, just pretend like it's last year and enjoy reading. Image credit    For some weeks now, I've been close pals with my FM radio which has given me the chance to listen to Nigerian music that I guiltily don't go all out to listen to. Music is a stress reliever and that is true and totally fine. For me however, aside the beat—that truly could relieve stress. Listened to instrumentals?—I'm one for content. Whenever I listen to music, I unconsciously keep my ears up to hear every word possible in that song, in order to assess if it's something I'd like to listen to on a regs—probably why I tilt towards ballads. Sadly, quite a number of Nigerian artistes have little or no real content in the music they churn out. Ironically, quite a number of Nigerian songs talk about the same thing; lust as love, the physique opposite sex (majorly female) a...

   Hey guys!! It has been a while I posted any of my musings. I'm here with one today. Image credit    It's no news that we are in the computer age and the internet and social media are slowly but steadily becoming a part of our lives. From top social media sites and apps, forums to blogs, social media is fast becoming something that every internet user has a hand in. Social media connects people far and wide, it links one up with new people. It could also bring about communication with long-lost friends. It seems social media has bridged a gap in communication, right? But my question is, has it really? Image credit    Yes, the social media platforms seem to have definitely brought us closer, just type some words, tap a button and presto! You’ve gotten through to that certain person. I could not agree more that it makes it easier to reach people, no need scaling 7 mountains just to say hello. You could just say hello from the other side. Sadly,...

I believe I have said this already but there’s no harm saying it again: HAPPY NEW YEAR PEEPS!!! Looking to having a splendid year here and in reality, hoping you do too.    I initially was shying away from making a “new year's post” . Don’t get me wrong, I wanted to but it just wasn’t flowing. I feel like many a time, New Year posts and its likes make life look like it’s “ one-size-fits-all ”. Definitely, there are habits that should and should not be cultivated by all, but still, one road doesn’t lead to the market. Well, after a series of happenings, I finally got what I wanted to have as my New Year’s post for you all. It’s a new year and I’m presently not in the mood for a lengthy post so, I’d just drop a list *winks*. 18 things/tips to help make the most of 2018 (My thoughts). 1. Don’t trust your happiness in the hands of any except God and yourself. 2. Please God with your actions, thoughts and speech. 3. A heart of gratitude in all situations. 4. A spiri...

  2017 packed its bags some hours back (where I live at least) now, 2018 is what we've got on our plates. So, I decided to do something a bit different this time around, get others opinions. I got a couple of people to complete the question; This initially was meant to be a round-up post but I thought it could double as a New Year post. So, yeah, here's what they had to say. Massive thanks to those that thought to share their opinions. @big.bold.beautiful.nne says, A year that made me experience life through a new eye ... @am_lammie says, A year full of life lessons. @dupsyfresh says, A year that brought about a new me. @mimii_chi says, A year that showed  me the two sides of life. @mah_ree_yam says, 2017 was my most eventful and an amazing year. Mariam says, 2017 was a year I would never  get to see again. @theophilus.smith_ says, revolutionary. Learnt to keep the important things important, would say I became better. Made some real good de...

Merry, merry Christmas and happy holidays my dearest readers. I would keep this short and sweet. Source   December is one of my fave months as well as my lazy month. From somewhat pleasurable weather to the holidays (Christmas and New Year) to the general feeling of bliss and ease as the year rounds up, December definitely earns that title. Christmas is just some hours away, with the hazy weather, it's beginning to look and feel like it. Sometimes though, it feels like people forget the true essence of Christmas and get carried away by the festivities and event hopping. Source    All over the world, I believe, Christmas season exudes a sit-back-kick-your-feet-up kinda vibe. People get engrossed in the mundane; from home decor, shopping, looking one's best to the delicacies that accompany this season and forget unfortunately that Christmas is more than these. I have tried writing poems about Christmas and it always, always leads me back to reflection. The ess...

   Hey guys, I’ve been keeping a date with the radio on late Sunday mornings of recent. If you are in Lagos and a radio listener like me, you would have an idea what goes on about that time. It’s series of gospel shows on most stations, interrupted by adverts and music breaks. Well, most times, I shuttle between frequencies 99.3fm and 96.9fm. I like the messages aired on 99.3fm. This post isn’t really about my Sunday morning schedule, around 12 though, the countdown (Rick Dees, weekly top 40) goes up. So, there’s this song that has been on the chart for quite a while (heard it made Platinum), 1-800 by Logic (it features Alessia Cara and Khalid) . This song set off a series of thoughts in my head and I’d be sharing them with y’all as always. Source    Some people may find this song weird or  cringeworthy and for some, it ultimately gives them the creeps. For me, however, I like the song and will listen anytime, any day. I like the song cos there’s a message...
