Whatever happens, eat first.

 

I know times are hard and you're going through a lot but i beseech thee, whatever it is, eat first. Oluwa a wa pelu e o. (Photo credit: Eat First)

As the year winds to an end, I want to use today’s post to encourage you to take some time out to enjoy yourself. I can understand why you’re saving so hard; you probably want to japa, rent is almost due, or you need to change your car? My brother, eat first.

I was going to write about my eye surgery journey today, but I will let it wait a bit. I am fine now, by the way, just got back from a routine check and I can confirm that no one sees better than I do right now. Feel free to tag me to twerk videos and beautiful images, thank you.

Back to my advice of the day, eat first. I read of an incident earlier today about a woman that slumped at the airport and from the report, she didn’t make it back to life. I know people would say lots of things and as someone that will never encourage fake news, I will leave details as I am not sure but whatever happens my dear, eat first and drink water afterward.

Tomorrow is not promised and while we try to ensure a future soft landing, what if we don’t make it there? I was just wondering, the woman I read about this morning probably has some dollars saved somewhere, sad but can she control how it would be splashed by her dependents?

I am not asking you to splurge irresponsibly tho, though my advice is only for those that know what they’re doing and not those that need excuses to misbehave, if you go broke it’s actually your business and I will not respond to your message if it carries account details.

I’ll leave it here and wish y’all a restful weekend. I have been out of work for days and I desperately miss my teammates. I can’t wait to be back, roaming from the boardroom to the pool area and then in and around the theatre of dreams (the Strategy and creative city).

See y’all tomorrow.

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

Image
  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...
