Never let your guard down 🔫

One of my profound affirmations is “Tomi, never let your guard down”. Sounds weird right? Stay with me. In the southwestern part of Nigeria, they say “Ija wa, Ija osi”; meaning “Whether there is a fight or not, never drop your guard”. The truth is, if not all the time, we need to be on …

Reality Check

At every point in our lives, we ought to check up on ourselves, our values, goals, relationships, careers, finances, and spiritual self too; and the alignment of our lives with our purpose or essence. The purpose of checking up on ourselves is to be sure we are still ourselves. It is to be sure we …

Compromising Standards

Standards are what we build around ourselves. Most importantly, they guide us on how to relate with people. That is, who to speak to and how to speak. What we should allow/take and vice-versa. They are just like food allergies - food we shouldn't eat because they would harm our body. In this context, these …

Sense of accomplishment

Setting goals and accomplishing them gives a sense of fulfillment; or should provide. There are people who have a sense of accomplishment; they recognize their efforts, praise themselves, reward themselves, and see their results as great accomplishments.

Dear Reader

Dear Reader, Living through life is a lot. I say “a lot” because for once, I do not have the exact word to describe the struggles and challenges of life. Lately I’ve been overwhelmed with work and personal life. Life in general and for once I decided not to share and live in that phase …

The very first time I heard that a lady snatched another woman's husband wasone of the most shocking moments of my life. I kept thinking if the grown man was allegedly kidnapped by a woman because …

Laziness or time takers?

Laziness is one of the word,amongst others, that has been abused. People literally throw the word around without thinking and to an extent, I don’t blame them; at the same time I blame them. “Steady and slow wins the race “ the say but people just want to be rushing these days. Why are you …

Superstitious?

Are you superstitious? Oh no, I’m not. I personally do not believe in superstition. However, there’s a thin line between superstition and the supernatural. Over the years, people use these 2 for the same purpose. I’ve no idea why.

Stop eating too much 🤦🏽‍♀️ Yes you!

Food is essential to every living creature. At the same time, I use to wonder pe, Shey ounje laye ni? (Meaning, is food life?) Because when you see how some people eat or act beside food, fear will come upon you. I’d say food is overrated and I wonder why we can’t just be eating …

It’s 2023

It’s 2023 and for some reason, I’d love we continue from the previous year. Don’t get me wrong, I just feel every good/positive aspect of our lives should continue this year. I know some of us are feeling like we’ve f****d up this year already and it’s beginning to take a toll on us. I’m …
