  • Like a Snow Flake

    Close your eyes and imagine this, a snowflake drifting from the heavens, its delicate crystal arms outstretched in perfect symmetry. It’s unique, irreplaceable, and stunningly beautiful, much like you (yes, you!). But here’s the meat of the matter, its life span? A fleeting moment. One wrong landing, one unexpected gust, and poof, gone. Snowflakes are

  • I Miss My Homeland

    There’s something special about the place where your soul first learned to sing. For me, that place is Nigeria, a land where the mornings awaken with the rooster’s proud crow, ushering in a new day. It’s a sound that once seemed mundane but now feels like a call to return, a reminder of simpler times

  • Femi’s childhood in the bustling streets of Lagos was filled with vibrant colors, lively sounds, and endless adventures.

  • Patience… a virtue

    Those lines got me giggling because, as God knows, I am lacking in the department of patience when it comes to my own behaviour. The impatience I have is such that sometimes I reprimand myself for it, like, “Charity, please be patient, please be patient.” I do not have data to convincingly attribute it to

  • Stop trying to calm the storm

    The past weekend I had mixed emotions, anxiety, hope, despair and a mix of all the other vibes cos it was Election Day in Nigeria. I pray for a new Nigeria, but I have doubts in my heart; I pray for change, but would it come? Will Nigerianism allow the chosen of God to rule?
