On second thought, maybe professional dancers are already tired and want to keep the dancing to a minimum on their special day. Maybe their pastors and parents warn them to get through the ceremony without excessive dancing. Or just maybe they are so love-struck, that they forget how to dance.

Manual Scan #ToTheAltar

IJOSWIL
29-May-2021

The next people on my manual scan were the protocol team. Look at them in their smart suits. How can your biceps and six-packs be poking your suit? It is less that they have the biggest muscles around, and more like they bought suits a couple of sizes too small.

It takes a lot of guts or foolhardiness to try and push the boundaries with maximum scammable amount. But if you pull it off, it is worth the effort. At the same time, if it ever sounds too good to be true, it is probably not true.

With romcom, my head and heart is not stressed like that. The most I have to worry about is will they, won’t they? I also do not need to think about complicated storylines. And I don’t need to watch my back for creeping shadows while at it.

Not Everyone Is Considerate. Speak Up! – Josh Journal

What you are about to do will make you happy, but at what cost to others? To love your neighbor as yourself, you must first be considerate. How is my action affecting them? If I were on the receiving end, how would I feel?

Ọmọ Pastor: To Call Or Not To Call (The Women I Love)

IJOSWIL
25-May-2021

By the evening of Sunday, I knew I had no choice but to call Rukevwe. Every bone in me assured me that if this weekend passed without me calling her, I would have blown my chances. However the dice fall, at least, I would have given it my best shot.

It is so noisy that whenever there is a semblance of quietness, Lagosians get worried. Quietness in Lagos can only mean one thing; trouble.

Yes, They Are Spoilt. And So? – Josh Journal

Teenagers of every generation will always find and create their vices. Hopefully, they don’t cross over into areas of illegality. Adults taking advantage of their naivety, inquisitiveness, and power imbalance meanwhile will always be morally and legally wrong.

On Strength And Patience (This Is Personal) – Josh Journal

IJOSWIL
21-May-2021

It is easy to acknowledge and respect a man of strength while overlooking and underrating a man of patience. In that same breath, why is strength regarded as a masculine quality and patience as a feminine quality?

Nigerian Senators And Their Tearful Protest – Josh Journal

IJOSWIL
21-May-2021

If you believe there is something wrong with Nigeria, now is the time to act. Don’t speak up and cry, then go back to collect your salaries and allowances. There is always the option of keeping quiet and allowing your name to forever rest in infamy. But at least, deny your children the disgrace of seeing you cry like a little bitch.

Sometimes, just like and share a picture and move on. Other times, drop a compliment, the person might really need it. Just don’t let your compliment always be the precursor to them asking or being asked, “savings or current”.

The Multistorey Debacle – Josh Journal

IJOSWIL
20-May-2021

Have you ever been in a multistorey building and look down at the “peasants” beneath you? Doesn’t it feel cool to be able to see people from a vantage position, and they have no idea you are up there? Add to that the cool breeze enjoyed by residents of multistorey buildings.

Confident Incompetence – Josh Journal

IJOSWIL
20-May-2021

One of the most baffling sights I am always bewildered to witness is that of someone operating with a swagger that can best be described as confident incompetence. I can’t help laughing when their confident incompetence results in disgraceful failure.

In our daily travels and travails (depending on which applies to you), we need a lot of strength and patience. Success in any endeavor would be impossible to attain without strength and patience.

Sometimes You’re Just A Ben Chilwell – Josh Journal

IJOSWIL
18-May-2021

From shooting themselves in the foot to sticking their foot in their mouth, people end up doing more damage to themselves than their targets. It is always better to pull a Kante and end things amicably. You ex-friend, boss, or lover should always be left with a smile whenever they see or remember you.

Don’t Take That Break – Josh Journal

A major key to maintaining strength, morale, and maximizing productivity is knowing when to take a break. Such period is used to rest, recover, research where necessary, and regain strength and motivation for the task ahead.

Do you have an idea how frustrating it is to listen to a speaker, and half their speech is telling you about the true meaning of a word? They’ll pick a big word and break it into multiple parts, then coin another meaning to it and expect you to find that to be deep.

If volunteers are asked to pick the books they’ll be interested in writing, the book of Lamentations will have the most volunteers. As a matter of fact, if the new books don’t have to maintain the size of the old, the book of Lamentations will take up ninety percent of the new Bible. There is just too much lamenting to do.

Please, if you know breakfast in bed is something you look forward to, ask your husband if he can cook before you marry him. Maybe you should even taste his food. It’s not only guys that need to know about your kitchen skills.
