The good, the bad and the ugly...

 

It was a week of the good, the bad and the damn right ugly but we go again tomorrow!. (Photo credit: Google)

The end has come to a week that brought mixed emotions. From dealing with crazy pains to experiencing the joy of winning a mega pitch, the week had everything in it.

I count it all joy in the end to be honest. There are lots of things happening around that I would rather not experience but like I once wrote about, there is good in evil and unfortunately, maybe in lesser proportion, there’s evil in some good too.

Highlight of the week for me obviously has to be the fact that we won a mega pitch, there’s no stopping us now. We showed grit, we showed character and we brought to fore, that team spirit that matters, but whoever knows Fola of Duo, tell him never to come to mainland.

The lowest moment of the week came today, I discovered something I was denying all along LOL. My younger brother brought it to my notice and while I must admit that it is extremely hard to come to terms with, I must also admit that sometimes, it is for the best.

I will announce it officially soon and I will not be taking any questions; adults are allowed to make their own decisions without anyone hounding them for explanations. It is what it is to be honest but hey, it’s a heartbreak but everyone will be damn right all right.

Update on my knee: the swelling has gone down again and I hope I don’t stress it again. I don’t trust myself not to, but we’ll see.

Arsenal is giving me joy in the transfer window and as much as I know that majority of my audience don’t like to see football content here, it is a good part of my life and y’all have to live with it, you can’t deny that I haven’t tried enough to avoid it.

Will see y’all tomorrow. Peace.

17th May, 2023 - My darkest hours

Image
One year after her passing, nothing has changed, I still feel pains and, I still have a lot of unanswered questions but, Valar Morghulis - All men must die. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone) Yea, it's been one year already, and nothing has changed. I still feel as much pain as I did exactly one year ago, when the darkest of clouds usurped me. When the earth received my mother's body, it still hurts. I’ve tried many times to do this, but it is what it is. What a year it has been. There was no inkling before it happened, so there is no benchmark. However, it’s a different kind of pain, one I don’t wish on anyone. The 17th of May 2023 will forever remain where it is; hopefully, it remains the darkest ever until my dying day. The mood was obvious; Deepsea could tell in the car. Joy sent me a text message to lift my spirits, but calls from Ibadan informed me that my mom was on her way to the hospital. It didn’t take long for me to realize it wasn’t her usual attention-seeking dr...

If her name is Precious, you're single

People will leave you wondering if you're abnormal, omo iya mi, ma fo, na dem be the problem not you. Oya stay jiggy make we enter road. (Photo credit: Google)   “When you’re losing a tug of war to a tiger, release the rope before it gets to your arm; you can always get another rope, of course, except if you want prosthetics; you don’t want another arm.” - Ancient Chinese proverb remixed by Rambo. 2023 taught me a lot, and one of them is this: “If that person looks too good to be true, don’t force it; the person is certainly a fraud." And this rings true for everything. Whether living or non-living, don’t force it; it’s too good to be true. I was going to write about Precious, but I realized it’s a waste of time. Someone would text or call to tell me I’m pained, and it would get me emotional. I’d rather leave it as it is and sweep it under the rug like I always do. No worries on this one. Lesson number 1 from 2023: Tomorrow isn’t promised! See, a day before my mother passed...

Panda's wife and the memories of Tinubu Road

  Happy birthday beautiful and uber-smart Toyin Adepegba, my good friend from Tinubu Road. (Photo credit: Toyin's WhatsApp status) Toyin Adepegba is 40 today, today is also my parents’ wedding anniversary and it evokes some nostalgia from way back. I remember how they celebrated one particular year, that shit made me start thinking of getting married at just 10… Look at me now LOL. This post is about Toyin, a great human by all standards. She was my first friend at Brand Regimen, she knows her job and has this drive that won’t let her settle for anything below her standards. Let me share a few things I copped from here during our days as colleagues. Toyin was the Business Development Manager at BR and later had to fill in when there was a gap on one of the Account Management Team, one measure of her success in that role as far as I saw was how good Joy became as her protégé, that counts for a lot. While I was the lead on decks and strategy plans, Toyin offered solid outlets o...
