How to Write Great Applications: Top 3 Dos & Don’ts
This time last year, I went on an application-writing spree. I had just left my job and was eager (bordering on desperate) for a new gig. I have always been pretty selective when sending out applications because one of my worst nightmares is getting caught in a job I disliked and/or was just doing for the money. This time was no different. While I was … Continue reading How to Write Great Applications: Top 3 Dos & Don’ts
Very Stale Music Haul: Make Room (Jonathan McReynolds)
Alriiiiight! So, I’m here more than a year after the release of this phenomenal album to share my review. However, to be fair, I had posted a video review on YouTube aeons ago. I’m just now trying to sync/update my blog with my YouTube channel. Sigh. I have a ways to go to get all me ‘media outlets’ in order, but I’ll get there. So, … Continue reading Very Stale Music Haul: Make Room (Jonathan McReynolds)
Books and How to Get More of Them
For many years now, I’ve been trying hoping to put together a comprehensive record of my expenditure. I have a thing for data and ExceI and really would like to have an annual pie chart showing how I’ve spent my money. However, it’s sad to say this dream has never quite materialised because it’s generally been a battle for me to keep a money journal. … Continue reading Books and How to Get More of Them
You Better Start Planning Your Wedding…
…If you know what’s good for you. Life is another entire, separate cup of tea that I didn’t bargain for. They did not tell us it was gonna be like this o. I just had a look at my post feed, and it turns it’s been a year since my last post and two years in between that one and the one before it. In … Continue reading You Better Start Planning Your Wedding…
Black Panther and the Dialectics of Modern Black Life: A Disappointing Mirage
There is only one plausible explanation for the shooting of an unarmed man in the back by a law enforcement officer while said unarmed man runs away from said law enforcement officer. Considering the multiplicity of such occurrences and the repeated claims that these officers react so drastically because they fear for their lives further bolsters the reasoning behind this explanation. It must be concluded that black men in the United States of America have superhuman powers; because the only reason to fear an unarmed man is that there is a possibility that s/he can disintegrate you to ashes with their killer Cyclops-like stare or cause lightning to electrocute you to death as X-Woman Storm can.

Dads, Nuts and Kept Women
Yes, you are looking at a photo of dad spelled out in groundnut husks.
Why?
Well, I’ll start with how I’m a super mega huge fan of boiled groundnuts. The crack, the crunch, the taste just give me life. Every year, a massive festival goes on in my heart in honour of the first nuts of the season. No jokes, evidence below:
Me Before You: Movie Review (Response)
So I was going through a daily Guardian news update and this article caught my eye. Why? I saw these three words: me, before, and you.Nothing incredible about them, right? But in that order, they form the title of a book that touched my heart. I read Me Before You almost two years ago, and it touched me so deeply I blogged about it here. So, of course I clicked on the link thinking, ‘What are they saying about the book now?‘ Continue reading “Me Before You: Movie Review (Response)”
While the world is falling apart… You are gods.
Yesterday, 2 years to the day the Chibok girls were kidnapped, there was special coverage of the events surrounding the incident on CNN. And this is what the Spirit says to me (and possibly someone else out there): “God is in charge of the great meeting; he judges among the “gods.” He says, “How long will you defend evil people? How long will you show … Continue reading While the world is falling apart… You are gods.
Must I come first? Thoughts On Ranking…
“…. But they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.” 2 Corinthians 10:12 (NKJV)
I’ve had this topic in my mind to write about for a while now. I had just picked up my computer to start, when a young girl asked me a question that so perfectly tied in with the thoughts in my head. Here’s how the conversation went:
