Don’t give up, you never can tell how close you are to your Victory. Aimasiko lo damu eda, ori mi lowo Oluwa lowa.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, but short character; steep in profits, but shallow relationships.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, cartridge living, thow-away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies and pills that do everything.
Insolence is defined as being insulting in manners or words. It is being rude, cheeky, impudent, arrogant, bold, cocky and disrespectful. Insolence to me has become the go-to word to describe Nigeria’s present class of politicians.

Hopefully we get to see more of the Klopp Hug, less of broken spectacles, more goals from the terrific front three, less of injuries, more great Anfield European nights, less crowd disturbances, more youngsters coming through and performing excellently, less of one season wonders.
This has been a long time coming, and it is coming from my heart. I am caught somewhere in between writing a “note to self” and a “to whom it may concern“.Being unable to blog

Life is Short. It is not how long, but how well.
It is quite disturbing to realise that humanity is hastily heeding in a direction where empathy is becoming quite a scarce commodity.
