It's been a really long time. The last few weeks were really busy, and I seriously had programs to attend, yeah, Youth Church programs! And I prayed for many things and two of them got answered this week. Not to worsen it, my phone got spoilt. Sad right? But I must gladly say, It's been God. And something serious is really cooking up. Just wait😊😊 One point or the other in our lives we've had friends or people we even called best friends. Some while we were young,and we eventually discard while growing up and others we meet at school or live around us. Some we say are our best friends at certain points and we'll still leave them for others. Some we trust and some we don't. Some we tell everything to and some we won't not even give vital information about us. Some we can vouch for and some we can't even say who they are. My personal believe that whether close or not, who we call friends should be able to stand for and stand by us. But it hurts deeply, wh...

Abami Eda is a Yoruba word which means the strange one, and for somebody to be particularly strange is not a very common thing in our days. Fela Anikulapo Kuti is not a strange name in the Nigerian Music Industry but he is a very mysterious and strange being. Fela as he is called is the founder is the popularly known AFROBEAT. Yass!! Afrobeats are nice beats and our 21st century musicians even make use of it, it's even recognized internationally. Fela Anikulapo Kuti was born in Ikenne area of Ogun state and his mother as we all know was the first woman to ride a car, Olufunmilayo Ransome Kuti and his father was peculiarly a pastor and a talented pianist. His mother, was an anti colonialist,anti military and a great supporter of Nigerian Home rule. Little wonder that he was exposed to both music and politics at a very tender age. However, his being a musician was something his parents were not interested in and therefore they sent him abroad to study medicine, they wanted him ...

We often mistake growing old for growing up. But do you know you can actually grow old without growing up? People would ask how is that possible? But yes, it's very possible. Every second of our life,we grow old but not every body grow up. We've actually seen people at age 20 behaving like babies. Every year we celebrate our birthdays and scream 'I'm grown now',Yes but we are actually growing older. Not everybody is growing up but everyone is growing old. Even Apostle Paul said,' when I was a child, I behave like a child and think like a child, but now that I'm a man, I put away childish things' It's very common among us these days that most of us still wait for elderly ones to give out instructions before we do them. There are many things we as growing youths should know how to do without waiting for instructions from elderly ones. Lol, yes 80% this 21st century youths are guilty of this. If we're not told to do something, we can't even b...

Have you ever been in love that you don't even know how to control it any longer? It's so obvious. You can't do without him/ her. You always want to be near the person and so on. But why do most people fall in love? Maybe all the care and attention they need is with that individual or maybe they just naturally love that person's personality or they just like the way the person talks, relates or even interacts. Falling in love,to me, is one of the most critical things. Like when you just have to think of one person all day, all you do must centre around the individual and you just have to do things to please that person. The worst is when you love and it's not reciprocated. It's like, huh, a waste of time. Yes, you're always the one starting up conversations,you're always caring,asking the needful like 'How are you?, How did the day go?' And you get straight answers like 'Fine,okay and so on'. You easily tend to fall out of such love....

The cries from my mother's womb Where was this light from? And joys from people's heart And how they show jubilation Where was I again? In this strange and lonely place. As time goes on I felt I'd discover Discover the truth On how I got here And how I'd go back To the world I've always known. Soon I discovered Everything I wanted to do Was for me to decide How well I'd live in this strange land And what people would say After I've departed. I grew fond of the strange land And suddenly didn't want to go back I forgot what my creator sent me to do And was carried away by the goods of the land The music and pleasures The Wealth and Riches Not remembering my creator any longer I joined the vices of the land It was just then I was to go back to where I was coming from With my grey hair and wrinkled face And my weak legs and arms I've had children who had my ways And there on death bed, Tried to remind them That we are, ...

He was the definition of being Handsome Girls were at his beck and call They swarm around him like bees He was their Hermes Charming and adorable He was simply lovable at first sight But his intentions were not as his looks He was handsomely a cheat He was a player He would get them at an instance And dump them at that instance He saw them as weaklings They were to be disposed Until he found her His Pandora, his true love He wouldn't stop breaking hearts While on the road some day He met her He felt his looks could get her But she was too principled to be his He sought every opportunity to get her But all to no avail He had never failed in getting any girl before But why this one? He would cry and roam about to see her She still didn't want him He did everything impressive But still she wouldn't glance at him Other girls were not appealing any longer He cried all day and night But she had her lover He saw her in white dress And Her lover in s...
