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….

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…

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…
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…
Alarmist – Do you have a friend who is an alarmist?
Alarmist! Do you have a friend who is an alarmist? Meet Tina; She’s their Queen. Mrs Augustina Amos who I fondly call Tina is one woman I sincerely love. I dare myself to call her my friend. Oh, I forgot to mention, since she is my superior at work, are we even allowed to be…
Did I just witness a crime? Oh, its been a year!
Did I just witness a crime? It was 6:43 am, June 1, 2019; Oluwatoyosi, this can’t be happening! I was darn sure all was not looking well from my distance. I shrugged the feeling away and thought maybe it was my mind. A lot of fearful things pass through our minds when we walk down…
