Members of the stingy men association are actually proud to take care of their family and loved ones. It is even in our bylaws.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.)
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.
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. I pray you live long in health and wealth to celebrate more of this, and more with your children.
“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 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.
Watch yourself. Before you mention that the other person is getting emotional or sentimental, ask yourself, am I being emotional right now?
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.
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
Ginger is inarguably the best song on Wizkid’s Made In Lagos album.
Thankfully, Wizkid and Burna Boy were generous enough to bless this song with a video.
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.
There is a hack to life that can only be gotten when you turn your eyes upon Jesus. When you shut out the world and look to Him. Absolutely Trusting, absolutely dependent, absolutely invested, and totally given over to Him.
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.
Other than the fact that the opening line is more suicidal than wishful thinking, Billionaire by Teni is one of the best songs to come out of Nigeria in the last decade.
Koroba by Tiwa Savage is the best musical depiction of the concave, convoluted and warped mindset of most Nigerians.
At its release, there was a lot of postulation that the song was an open lauding, endorsement, and encouragement of prostitution.
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.
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.
I first heard Triumphant on Olamide’s album, Carpe Diem. For now, I must state, Olamide is awesome at making albums. He has singles that may not be up to his usual standard, but when it comes to albums, He is top-tier only.
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.
Today, a lot of people are resuming work for the year. I believe Wetin We Gain by Victor AD is a great song to get back into work mode.
And when I wish you a happy financial new year, you would do well to wish me the same.
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.
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.
All I want is to live in grace. For my life to be an expression of the extravagance, that is when God chooses one to be a manifestation of His wonders.
