You're the best of your kind...

 

Regardless of what is happening around you, remain positive and keep your head up... You're doing well. (Photo credit: Google)

Today is one of those days I just have to address a topic as succinct as I can, owing to the shortage of free time to do this and premised on the fact that this message is important for someone, maybe me too.

I understand that there’s a thing called humility check and sometimes, people like to play down their own achievements or question their own efforts; it’s okay to stay awake to responsibilities so you don’t believe your own hype like some Nigerian politicians.

Take this from me today and let it be your peace, you’re doing well and you should not beat yourself over certain uncertainties. You’re doing great, you don’t have it worse and whatever it is that you’re going through, it has happened to the best of people.

You applied for a job and they didn’t call you back? It’s their loss honestly, no serious employer would sleep on an intelligent human like you. You’re shooting your shot at someone and he or she is doing like NEPA? Please put on your generator, you’re too important for anyone to feel like a delegate over your life.

You’re working on something and everyone is criticizing it? Take their criticism with an open mind, effect the feedback where you can and don’t ever feel you’re not enough. That guy in white Mercedes splashed muddy water on you on the highway? Move on my Gee, when you buy your own car, I bet my life you’d do the same; he probably didn’t do it intentionally and rainy season hardly helps…

I have to go so I don’t turn to Slimee with the “aspire to Maguire”, whatever the situation is, don’t beat yourself about anything… You’re doing just well, try to be better, keep reinventing yourself and as much as you can, listen more.

See y’all tomorrow.

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

One careless night

The antelope is badly wounded right in front of the hunter, it can live again, only if the guardian angel smiles again... (Photo credit: Geo Wild) I randomly remember how my mom forced Mount Zion movies on me that year, but after the incident of the other day, one famous movie of those folks rings true in my head. One careless night. Just so we’re clear, no matter how hard you try, you’ll never understand this post; it’s a personal rant that will chronicle several events, and, while I am putting this in the public space, I still advise you to stop reading from this point. Omo! These are the days I prayed against, but it is what it is. I remember that beautiful Sunday. The indecision at first nearly ruined the script, but I saw the value of resilience. I remember the jokes about the green dress that looks like a 2-Sure promoter uniform. LOL, the aura was special though. It’s been a long time; something was off, and despite P.O. ringing in my ears, I still ran into the ditch. It was e

One hellish year and my one and half legs

This has been like a home recently but, the goal is to get stronger when it gets tougher. I'm fighting to win. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone) I remember promising Bukky (formerly the Peridot of BR, now the Peridot of UK) that I'd write a lot this month; it definitely won’t be every day like I did last year, but I’ll try, and here you go. To start with, it’s been a tough year by all standards. Not sure there’s ever a year in which I felt half as much physical pain as this year; 2019 had the inglorious award until 2023 pulled up, and here’s me hoping I’ll never have to see a more painful year than this one. The past three weeks have been the toughest. I spent more days with the physiotherapists than at work, but I am probably the strongest human I know. I am not giving up anytime soon, but the pains better ease up before I do something crazy. Yesterday was the International Day of People Living with Disabilities. It should be a public holiday, but while I wasn’t physicall
