Dear Diary, September 1, 2023 Today was a truly beautiful day in church. It was the 8 a.m. mass, and something extraordinary unfolded before my eyes. As I took my seat, a group of five people walked past me and took their seats in one of the front rows before me. Among them, there was…
The Hands of God
The hands of God! So, I stood near a girl waiting for my order at the Cafeteria. By mere coincidence, our hands were placed side by side. She is the whitest of the whitest girl I have ever seen in my life. Sooo white I almost compared her with a paper. Before I start, the…
The Pink Street Saga
The Pink Street Saga – *Shebi*, I want to see Pink Street? Today, I have irrefutable proof that my mother’s prayers follow me everywhere I go. I went through stage four stupidity! First, I am here to say that a floating idea is a very bad one if you execute it without a lirru-bit of…
Will I go to hell?
The weather has been unbearable. If anybody greets me now, I will check the weather first to be sure I want to respond with the “good” part. All through this week, I have been tempted to think that boya I have committed a sin to make the sun come after me with so much vengeance….
The Food Thief
Did I tell you how I caught the food thief? We almost call 911 that day! Who is eating my food in this house, I lamented to my sister Amope. Amope, see now, I left twelve strawberries an hour ago when I went for mass, now, it is remaining ten. How you go dey count…
Mr Scapegoat in detention
Mr Scapegoat in detention! How did he land at the SSS base? In this case, it was Sunday, August 23rd, when an unknown number called me. Hello! Hello, can you hear me? Yes, I can! At this time, I tried to figure out who the caller was because I recently put in my main sim-card…
Forgiveness will make you lol.
Forgiveness will make you lol. I remember when I was in the university, our Constitutional Law professor had this written on her door ‘I am not religious, but I love the Lord’. This caption was ridiculous to me at the time, as I thought, how can the wife of a pastor not be religious? At…
Tóyọ̀, the Elevator Princess
Elevator Princess was an impromptu status I acquired in 2014. How did it happen again? I recount the tale of Thursday 21 August, 2014. Dear Diary, I stood in front of the elevator exhausted. Oh Jesus, please let me get to my room. Tóyọ̀ needs some sleep. I can’t stand this any longer. I was…
‘Tóyọ̀sí Abíkóyè Kids Foodbank
‘Tóyọ̀sí Abíkóyè, Kids Foodbank? The thoughts of ‘Tóyọ̀sí Abíkóyè, Founder, Kids Foodbank landed on my laps like a virgin land waiting to be ploughed, after the innovative all-in-one new social impact-donating and receiving platform www.helpcentral.ng was launched. Before I found myself in the position to align myself as ‘Tóyọ̀sí Abíkóyè, Founder, Kids Foodbank, I always had to…
Lulu, till we meet again!
How do I say; Lulu, till we meet again! I can’t even express what I feel deep inside of me. How do I tell myself this is real? How do I treasure life, knowing that I will die someday? By happenstance, I met Lulu on Crimsonbow platform. An initiative for sickle cell warriors to find…
