Just as you are unique, every pastor is unique. The same way you might not eat every meal you come across, that is how you won’t settle into every church.
As much as I know Tomi and I would be targeted for their gossip, they were the ones I pitied more. Tomi is not one to take bottom-barrel behavior lying low.
These Assistant Jesus seem to know God more than the rest of us. They have the unit for measuring grace and dishing out forgiveness. By looking at you, they can decide if you are worthy of heaven or not.
Times and circumstances change a little too fast. You suddenly find yourself in situations you’d never dreamt of. Both for good and bad.
When they inevitably search for you online, make sure what they’ll find is exactly what you’d love them to find.
I’d be cussing and swearing if I were that kind of man, but that isn’t a vocabulary I use.
Seriously. Stop leaving your children with idiots.
That might be the key to your peace of mind in the future.
Congratulations on your proposal. Thankfully she accepted.
Before you both drive off into the sunset though, please, who will clean this place?
Just as you need to be kind to others, forgive their past, and help them heal from childhood traumas, you need to do the same for yourself first.

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.
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.
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.

What next?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
“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.
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.

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?

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.
