Making A Real Difference.
Stop Skipping The Updates – Josh Journal
How can you survive and thrive in the information age when you are consciously avoiding information? There is just one way to summarize this, if you don't stay updated, you will get outdated.
Abeg, Who Know Road?
Follow who know road, I ended up going far, except that I was heeded in the wrong direction. I had to retrace my steps to start all over again. Wasn't I better off having never made the journey?
Watch Your Back – Josh Journal
As a leader, opinion shaper, influencer, or celebrity, you need to always watch your back. As in audit your followers, fans, and audience. Who are those you lead? Who do you speak for? What kind of people gravitate towards you and your message? What happens after you speak?
Angel Felicia To The Rescue – Part 2 (The Women I Love)
As she came closer, I could see signs of tears at the side of her eyes. Senior Felicia had really pulled all the stops to try and rescue me. Wow! If only these teachers knew it wasn't real.
My War On Denim – Josh Journal
It all began when my mother got me a denim top and trousers. That became my favorite cloth. If anyone asks me to go get dressed to go out, you can bank on the fact that I'm emerging from the room dressed in denim.
Infinite Monkey Theorem (Word For The Week)
Given enough time, anything is possible. Don't feel bad, don't feel special. That is the most succinct way to interpret the infinite monkey theorem.
Chineke Na Kpo Gi – Josh Journal
You can imagine how funny, or foolish it sounded to me when I found out my sense of offense was misguided when I realized what "Chineke na kpo gi" meant.
On Being Different (Sincerely Yours)
Stop choosing useless issues as the hill to die on. When people realize that you are that fellow that is always different just for being different sake, whatever respect and esteem they might hold you at would be eroded.
Moving Day – Part 3 (Deputy Girlfriend)
I helped Tomi in moving the rest of the load to the car, and finally, we said goodbye to her former home. With all I hold dear, I hope this experiment does not blow up in our faces.
God-fearing With Ashewo Vibes – Josh Journal
So after God-fearing and ashewo vibes, what else do you want in a spouse? From what I heard, the sex is one of the first things you will get tired of. What next?
Nigerian Republicans And Democrats (Alice In Naijaland)
My only wish is that Nigerian Republicans and Democrats bring this same energy to our next election. We need it. As much as we are affected by what goes on in Washington and London, we are impacted more by what happens in Abuja.
Politics Is Meant To Be Boring – Josh Journal
The press needs to stop this need to make politics exciting. To help people keep an eye on the government, politics needs to remain "boring". The politician might be an orator or performer, that is not a license for the press to enable him to play to the gallery.
PSA: Concerned Lagosians On Harmattan
Lagos has never had winter. The small harmattan we have been managing and using to prepare for our relocation to Canada, they still now want to collect it from us and our children.
Stop Asking Them To “Do It Again”
As much as they are happy that they are being paid to do what they love, they will appreciate it if they are allowed to do it with their sanity in place. Will you be kind enough to stop asking them to do it again?
Curiosity Killed The Cat; Or Did It?
I have heard since I was young that curiosity killed the cat. I took this in; line, hook, and sinker. That was until I myself got curious. Did curiosity really kill the cat or are did they tell us this to kill our inquisitive nature?
The Power Of The Writer – Josh Journal
Being a writer is being god-like. You have the power of life and death. Just by putting pen to paper, you create a character that has never existed. As the writer, you are the origin of their life.
Can I Unknow You? – RHETORICS
At what point do you start wishing you had never met someone? Or better yet, to just unknow them? The friend that is never happy for you, in a hurry to minimize your achievements, that sees nothing you do as worthy of celebration.
The Right Teammates – Josh Journal
From 2021 and beyond, may our peak period, our productive days, and our best years not be wasted away through no fault of ours. I pray we find teammates that will bring out the best in us, spur us on to excellence, and may we be that teammate to others too.
Angel Felicia To The Rescue – Part 1 (The Women I Love)
As the teachers made to take to their position, I could make out Senior Felicia running towards them. Before our eyes, she stopped in front of Me Ojo and got on her knees. She was pleading with him.
Am I Elitist? – Josh Journal
If iron sharpeneth iron, then I need only the best of the best around me. If that makes me elitist, then it is likely those around me (my accusers inclusive) are elitist too.
Shock Value (Word For The Week)
Shock value is the potential of an image, text, action, or other forms of communication, to provoke a reaction of sharp disgust, shock, anger, fear, or similar negative emotions.
School Anthem – Josh Journal
The brain is indeed stronger than we ever imagined. Don't stress over things. Even the subconscious part of you is working to fix things that matter (and do not matter) to you.
Sorry, I Can’t Save You (Sincerely Yours)
With all I hold dear, I love you. For all I hold dear, I'm sorry, I just can't save you. Why do you make this so hard? Why have you made it impossible to save you?
Moving Day – Part 2 (Deputy Girlfriend)
"See, remember all I have told you. I won't accept any baby if the father has not paid your bride price." "That is why there is condom" Tomi's dad interjected.
All That Matters – Minister GUC (Song Of The Day)
In 2021, just like in every year that preceded it, a lot of things will be competing and demanding for your attention, but you get to decide all that matters to you. I have decided that Christ is number one for me. He comes before everything else.
Daddy And Mummy – Josh Journal
The inquisitive part of me can't help but wonder, did the wives start calling their husbands Daddy, because he called her Mummy, or did the husbands start calling their wives Mummy because she started calling him Daddy?
Singlet And Boxers – YMCMPP
The time has come for our women to be more imaginative. If you refuse to do it peaceably now, then wait until we become the government. Sales of singlet and boxers will be banned immediately after Christmas, and only resume after Valentine's day.
Funny Identity – Oliver De Coque (Song Of The Day)
The recent Stingy Men Association wave that swept through Nigerian social media also swept in a couple of songs that buttressed their points. Funny Identity was one of such.
The Wedding IV Palava – Josh Journal
With or without an early IV, I am expected to be at the wedding. Matter of factly, without a wedding IV at all, I am still supposed to be there.
Constantly Abiding (From My Heart)
Constantly abiding in God's word, in His grace, in His will, brings peace into our life that is incomparable. A peace you can't find elsewhere, that the world did not give, and it cannot take away.
PSA: Stingy Men Association
Members of the stingy men association are actually proud to take care of their family and loved ones. It is even in our bylaws.
Like Tree Branches – Josh Journal
If I'm valued, you will enjoy me. And if not, I will excuse myself. My time is too valuable to be wasted on fortuitous gambles, led by incompetent glory hunters.
The Nail And The Hammer
Time and again, I have seen people live out the saying that, "when all you have is a hammer, all your problems start looking like nails".
Bleeding Love – Leona Lewis (Song Of The Day)
After experiencing multiple heartbreaks, there is a tendency to seal up your heart to love, ensuring you never get hurt again. But what happens when the "right one" comes along? Can they cut through the barriers and get you bleeding love?
Where Is Your Money? – Josh Journal
Late last year, I was in conversation with an acquaintance and he asked me, "where is your money? Why aren't you wealthy?" The person in question can be categorized as rich. And I know him well enough to know that he didn't ask the question as an insult.
Cabbage And Garbage – RHETORICS
There is a startling revelation that dawned on me recently. How do you pronounce cabbage? But how does your neighbour pronounce it? And how does the seller pronounce it?
Queen Kong – Pryse × Eva Alordiah (Song Of The Day)
When Vector released King Kong in late 2014, many remixes and covers were released. The best of the bunch for me was Queen Kong by Pryse and Eva Alordiah.
Preparing For A Heartbreak – Josh Journal
Another crazy thing about heartbreak is that even if you can see it from a mile away, it doesn't hurt any less. Both times I've experienced heartbreak, I had envisaged it, but that doesn't ease the impact. As a matter of fact, it hurt more.
Students On Duty (The Women I Love)
It was an unusual sight, watching students hurrying to school without stopping on the way to buy something. I am sure traders at on duty must have been wondering what was wrong.
Smile – Mo Eazy (Song Of The Day)
This was the song that introduced me to Mo Eazy. He is an awesome rapper, on par with any rapper in Nigeria or across the seas. I'll dare anyone to listen to the song and say otherwise. (Those who just had their hearts shattered are excused though.)
We Met Up – Josh Journal
It felt good seeing friends after a long time. That feeling is priceless. Those are moments we'll remember with smiles as we get older.
Pop Pooper (Word For The Week)
The voice of the people is not necessarily the voice of God, but there is no guarantee that yours is either. Get off your high horse. No one likes a pop pooper. Even if you know the people around you are idiots, let them make their decisions.
ShukuBamBam – Phenom × Ms Iye (Song Of The Day)
On ShukuBamBam, Phenom starts out strong. Characterizing himself to the fictional King Kong. No one is stronger. Very few can match his appetite for havoc and domination. And that is an apt description of Phenom's rap prowess.
Happy Birthday, Mummy! – Josh Journal
Happy birthday, mummy. I pray you live long in health and wealth to celebrate more of this, and more with your children.
Mr Only God Can Judge Us (Sincerely Yours)
As much as God is a merciful father, he is also a just Judge. You can't keep making others cry out to Him in pains, and expect to just waltz through His judgment room at the end of time.
Moving Day – Part 1 (Deputy Girlfriend)
"Please ooo. I don't want anyone reducing my daughter's bride price." She said with an air of finality. For goodness sake, why didn't they think of bride price before agreeing to their daughter moving with me?
Ebe – Sola Allyson (Song Of The Day)
Ebe by Sola Allyson is a song of prayer. A psalm of prayer that I believe we all need to render to God before we proceed with this year.
You Are Being Sentimental! – Josh Journal
Watch yourself. Before you mention that the other person is getting emotional or sentimental, ask yourself, am I being emotional right now?
Free Sponge For All – YMCMPP
When the Bible says that "a thousand shall fall by your side and ten thousand at your right hand," it shouldn't be by your armpit. It should be by God's protection.
PSA: Association Of True Agbalumo Lovers
We the members of the Lagos chapter of the association of true agbalumo lovers, want to draw the attention of the public to the sacrilege that is occurring in Lagos. The year 2020 was such a tumultuous year that the […]Share with friends:
