Be like Benzema, be happy for people

The convenient thing to write about today is Karim Benzema and his Ballon d’Or, I am happy for the Frenchman and his achievement, he deserves it beyond words and no one can take anything away from him.

What stands out for Benzema is his humility through the years as he kept celebrating winners. He saw Cristiano Ronaldo win the award four times and Luka Modric once and, as seen in the picture in the thumbnail, he was always clapping as a happy guy for his teammates.

In life, you have to learn how to be happy for people. If it's not working for you at the moment, you can be happy for those that are shining, it won't take anything from you but bad belle won't let you see the road. I hope you learn from Benzema... Oluwa a wa pelu e o.

I am not even in the right place to shalaye today; yesterday has to be the most exhausting of the year so far and I’m glad the reason I was on the edge for the entirety of the day eventually ended well, at least for now but E sure me die… We’re fighting to win.

I’ll spend the rest of my evening talking to Sarah, my special friend. She called me this morning to share her struggles with me, she’s way too special to me for me to abandon her on days like this. I hope I find the right words to make her laugh tho… So help me God.

Why does it look like today’s article doesn’t have a bearing? I don’t know but tomorrow will be better I promise. I want to write about an incident that happened about five years ago; I think it was shortly before I joined Madison & Park… Y’all should wait for the gist.

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
