Not Ready For Freedom

XLLS

I woke up this morning to a tweet from my sweet friend and sister Kate Henshaw. The Nigerian Senate had voted against the Gender & Equality Opportunity Bill. If you are reading this and you have no clue what what the bill is about, Google it and educate yourself before you continue this.

I was quick to respond to Kate, expressing my disgust at the action of the Senators elected into power, hoping they would make the right choices for the people who elected them to have a better nation.

Nothing Else Matters

I have tasted poverty and depression

I have tasted fame and money

I know what it is to be on everyone's lips filled with praises

I know what it is to do it all on my own

I know what it is to depend on others

I know how it feels to be happy and laugh everyday

I know how it feels to be sad and cry every night

I know what it is to be drunk every weekend

How Time Flies

It's been 11 years since we lost JAIYEJEJE and I actually thought that by now it will be easier to write this without a lump in my throat.

Who do you work for?

A couple of years ago, I sat in my bedroom and a friend of mine who had been trying to reach me decided to come to my house. She walked into the room and found me praying with tears in my eyes and if I remember correctly, the last thing she heard me say was "you are my boss Lord please settle my financial issues". Out of respect for prayer she joined me in saying my final Amen.
