Making A Real Difference.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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 […]
Knowing And Doing – Josh Journal
A running theme in my journal this year has been the distance between knowing and doing. Looking around me, I realized I am not the only person who fails in closing that gap. Truth is I am a voracious consumer of knowledge.
Happy Happy New Year – Josh Journal
To conclude the introductory part of Josh Journal, I want to wish you a Happy-Happy New Year. Seriously. This year, I sincerely want you to be happy.
Happy Active New Year – Josh Journal
This year though, I am stepping it up a notch and actually getting active. More exercise, more movement, more fitness. The six-packs might not show, but we must stay healthy.
Meet Angel Felicia (The Women I Love)
At every point in life, God places people like angels on our path, to make sure we are fine. Felicia was one of such. Felicia was my immediate elder sister, Celia's close friend. I have always known Felicia all my life. We actually attend the same Church.
Happy Financial New Year – Josh Journal
I should preface this by stating that my financial life has been a big mess. So when I wish you a happy financial new year, you would do well by wishing me the same.
What Happened Before Moving Day? (Deputy Girlfriend)
Eventually, it was time to sleep. I had a big day ahead of me tomorrow. Wait. Am I not supposed to inform my landlord that someone was moving in with me? I'm tired.
Happy Spiritual New Year – Josh Journal
If someone wishes you a happy spiritual new year, what are you supposed to reply? Same to you? Amen? Whatever the right answer might be, I do wish you a happy spiritual new year. I don't know if that phrase makes sense, but I hope you understand my sentiment.
Happy Studying New Year – Josh Journal
Some of us have stopped studying since we left school. There are even some people who only read when preparing for exams. What a pity. How are you supposed to grow in life if you have stopped learning?
Do Not Off Your Mic – YMCMPP
As you begin to wander into "off your mic" territory, you might notice that your microphone has gone mute. Don't worry. At least, we kept our promise. We never asked you to off the mic.
Happy Creative New Year – Josh Journal
Happy New Year is the salutation we are used to when we flip the calendar to start a new year, but I need to switch that to a Happy Creative New Year.
PSA: International Association Of Timekeepers – Year 2021
We the International Association Of Timekeepers want to use this opportunity to welcome you to the year 2021. Happy New Year.
PSA: International Association Of Timekeepers – Year 2020
This is a Public Service Announcement from the International Association Of Timekeepers. We are here to announce the resignation of the year 2020.
Girls Are Weird (The Women I Love)
After my first day in the class, my experience with Happiness was totally different. This was weird. Realizing she was the assistant class captain and having witnessed how she treated the class captain himself, I had braced myself for the worst.
Absolute Power And Absolute Happiness (The Women I Love)
Truth is there was no fighting Happiness and her power. She was the absolute power in our case and we were all at her mercy.
Happiness And Collateral Damage (The Women I Love)
As things stand now, Tobi was in her good books just by being cute. Although his initials remains in her bad book. Eric's full name was in her bad book and it will take an angelic intervention to get it out. As for me, where do I stand?
This Happiness Never Change (The Women I Love)
Happiness left me and Henry standing and went to take a seat. She brought out a book and started reading. I felt bad for Henry. He just got "dragged" on my behalf.
Happiness Is A New Creature… (The Women I Love)
She was loud, hyperactive, unapologetic, energetic, unreserved, and outlandish. Happiness would stand up to any Alpha Male, and leave him in tears. Wherever she shows up, she either has the leadership position given to her, or she just takes it.
PSA: Matters Settlers Association Of Nigeria
Fellow countrymen and women, this is a Public Service Announcement from the Matters Settlers Association Of Nigeria. The time has come for you to join the rank of distinguished matters settlers. Will you heed the call?
All My Girls Are Ballers (The Women I Love)
For the rest of the school year, both Naomi and Olu were nicknamed Baller. They had both earned it, although the name brought up different emotions for each of them.
Student Teacher (The Women I Love)
From that day on, Ruth had it on for him. Whenever a teacher asked her to write down the name of noisemakers, his name was number one on the list. If she was asked to pick students for menial work like cutting grass or washing the toilet, she picked him first.
The Root Of Ruth (The Women I Love)
This is the story of me and Ruth. Not Ruth Abokoku, but Ruth the class captain. I can't overstate this, MB is the most beautiful girl I have ever met, Ruth comes a close second. If MB is Dark and Lovely, then Ruth is Dark and Shining.
PSA: Coalition Of Pretty Faces Without Pretty Names
And for those who still go on to tell us "what a pretty name for a pretty face", thanks for the courtesy. But we know you are lying.Share with friends:
