“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.
Do not allow yourself to get elevated, glorified, or exposed beyond your capacity, so you don’t get “exposed” unknowingly.
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.
The question on if I am a social butterfly or not is one that will elicit different responses from different individuals. Ultimately, it is subject to when, where, and how we met.
Every December, you threaten to cut people off. Every January, you announce you have done it. How come by the next December there are always more people awaiting your blade or cutlass?
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.
The funny thing is most people acknowledge beer muscles, the unfunny bit is it is not an excuse before the law, your boss, your spouse, or your friends.
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.
A famous man once said, “may our loyalty not be tested.”
I can’t help but say this, may our grace, our forgiving spirit, and our ability to forget, never be tested.
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.
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?
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.
I have never thought myself to be a culprit in Christ’s death. I know I made a gain from his death and resurrection, but I never wondered what role I played in his death.
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.
We the International Association Of Timekeepers want to use this opportunity to welcome you to the year 2021. Happy New Year.
There are over a thousand and one songs that one could start the year 2021 with, but in my opinion, Ayo by Simi is the best out there.
