My Mother
Of all the many things I’m grateful to my mum for: She took me to church as a toddler, thereby planting my feet on the solid rock to stand. I have fallen several times from there, but I’ve never left. She allowed me to roam freely in church until I found a constant place within […]
Iroko Trees.
Perhaps, the reason the old man sitting down can see farther than what the child can see even if on an ‘Iroko’ tree is because the old man had climbed the same ‘Iroko’ tree while he was a child and had seen all there is for the child to see. Therefore, the old man’s ability […]
To Every Woman
How will we survive this world without you? How far can our ego and stubbornness carry us? How will life be without the tenderness with which you relate with us, your patience? How will we live without the sweetness you carry with you? Who will we have to take care of and show love? How […]

This Love Will Last
#LoveWednesday #ItisPossible In those days as a young religious man, whenever I see a guy and girl, or brother and sister together in a corner, on the road, or at the junction of a street, talking, smiling, or making some melancholic motions, my reaction has always been to see them as immoral, unserious, and jobless-at […]

On A Monday Morning
#randomtots I stepped out of the bus, adjusted my suit and started my walk to my department, the Music Department of the almighty Obafemi Awolowo University. As I crossed over to the other side, just in front of Oduduwa Hall, I sighted this beautiful lady ahead who was dressed as gorgeous as mine. A little […]
The Girl Child
#LoveWednesday The girl child is never to be underappreciated She is never to be a victim of a low self-esteem Neither is she to be seen as feeble or a weakling She is only to be valued and respected. The girl child is never to be a mere object To gratify the selfish desires of […]
RAPE: Who is to Blame? The Guy or Girl? -A Discussion
In response to my poem:Woe to the Rapist ( http://wp.me/p2D2CT-g2) Some said it is the man. Some said it is the lady (or woman as the case maybe). Who do you think is really at fault? How can this evil be prevented? I’m inviting you to a discussion tonight between 8-11pm here. (You can post […]
Frustrating the Devil.
As for me, I’ve decided to frustrate the devil by adding to the frustration he had entered since calvary. I admit I may not have lived perfectly right all throughout this past week, but then, I won’t give the devil a reason to rejoice by letting that push me away from God. I won’t let […]
