I love yam with egg sauce. Yes, I do. I’m not much of a foodie but I do appreciate good food. And when I have the chance to eat a sumptuous meal, I eat it with all enthusiasm and excitement. Because I rarely crave food, I eat mostly anything that is available but on this…

Chapter 1: The Loss December 20 It had been three years since Suzan’s father had passed away. She was 7 years old at the time, and the loss had hit her hard. Every day since then, she had felt a deep sense of sadness and anger at the driver whose car crashed into her dad’s…
ONLY GOD CAN.
No one will ever understand how much violence it took to become this gentle” This was the exact statement a friend of mine said to me 7 years ago, while we were waiting for our lecturer to arrive in school. My friend, let’s call her Nancy, is a very intelligent and quiet girl. She could…
My Daughters And I.
Service was great on Sunday. There wasn’t any dancing or clapping, we were busy rehearsing the song and drama to be presented for the forthcoming children’s party (yeah, you’re right, I sing, write and act). It was tiring but the thought of a plate of eba and egusi soup made it bearable. I had no…
My Daughters And I.
I had an exciting day at church today. I danced so much until my legs began to hurt. It was Thanksgiving Sunday today and the Egun (Badagry) Choir decided to treat us to some premium Egun songs and dance steps. Oh my, their dance steps require a lot of energy. My shoulders ached so much…
MOMO’S DIARY
Something happened this morning that made me furious. I was so pissed that it made my morning quite boring. I had alighted from a tricycle just because I was trying to avoid the traffic I had seen up ahead. I wasn’t in the mood for any patient waiting, I was focused on getting to the…
No One Can Serve Two Masters
So, let me tell you guys about the funny thing I experienced today. “This morning, I am going to take it slow”. This was my thought when I woke up. I wasn’t in a hurry to get to work as I had been sent on an official assignment, so there was no rush. After dropping…

Happy Valentine. WILD FIRE Surface untouched, Territories unconquered Perfect for each other, No form of disorder…
MY BABY AND I.
BE GRATEFUL So, this morning while packing my baby’s bag. She saw me folding her dress and said,”ees bitifu (it’s beautiful )” This just melted my heart and it lightened up my morning. I still had the beautiful smile plastered on my face long after I’d dropped her off at school. Mind you, this dress…
20. 10. 20 MEMORIAL.
20.10. 2020 will forever go down in history as the day those in power boldly declared that ‘The Future’ wasn’t worth it”. It had all started with a peaceful protest. I had not seen one so peaceful. Many had gone through so much and yet showed restraint in the face of conflict, paid good with…
