Again, I'm praying for you...

 

I'm praying for you, just say amen. (Photo credit: Google)

Hello and welcome to a new week. Today, the goal is not to bore you with plenty of English but to pray for you as you head into the new week.

I pray you to find favor before God and man, such that half effort would look like you’re doing the most. I’ve seen people wonder how it’s clicking for some and they’re missing big time; it’s sometimes not by your speed or might but by the favor of the One that owes us no explanations.

I pray mistakes to leave your path, such that people will not question your intelligence or your credentials; there are times you’ll try so much but a little mistake will make it seem you didn’t go to school or you’re not good enough, I hope you find the strength to say amen.

I pray you the sun at its time and the rain in due season. Both are gifts from nature, but they have to come at the right time, so you don’t end up making a permanent decision from a temporary situation. I know it’s tricky, but I am sure they’re two different things.

I pray you to find the courage to go all out to change the things you’re not comfortable with and the serenity to live with the ones you can’t do anything about. I know how you feel mate, but sometimes you need to choose your battles; ultimately, I pray you to get to know the difference between the two situations.

I pray for you against wasted efforts; it can be frustrating especially when you put in your best and it seems like you’re running against the wind. Strength is one thing, grace is another. I pray you find value wherever you expend energy, may it be worth it in every language you understand.

I know it’s almost that time of stock-taking, and I pray you to have more reasons to be grateful. There will always be dark clouds, but I pray your silver linings don’t come in patches but in abundance, may you have a happy ending to the year much to your delight.

Go have a great week and remember to be kind to people. You will end the year strongly… All will be well. Let the church say AMEN!

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...
