Getting Started


Hello!

You wanna go back to check that first word again. No, you didn’t. Of course it’s just a simple ‘hello’ but there’s more to it. I pronounce that word so good that pulses get racing (let me be great please). That would be a discussion for another day entirely.

Now, to the business of the day.
Ahem!
My name is,,, seriously? We have to do this? Check the end of the post please.

Well, I’ve harbored a profound interest in writing for quite a while now but I just won’t write for reasons unknown to me (I actually know some, they’re just silly). Then the Eureka moment when I realized that I have to become an embodiment of my thoughts and my environment. At long last, I crushed my demons and I’m trying to unleash my latent ability through this blog. And I sincerely hope that this new-found urge doesn’t fade just as it surfaced. So help me God. 

Ah! That was turning into a note-to-self kind of writing that I almost forgot I was carrying you along. Well, here you still are.

Enjoy the sumptuous ride. 
Sometimes it’s gonna be bumpy too, I warned you.

Chronicles of a Local Man

“ Oshodi, Oshodi, Ikeja Along, Oshodi! ” deafening sounds from bus conductors on a typical weekday in the commercial hub of an Oil-rich west African state. “ Bros, come siddon for front make we dey go nah, Oshodi, National, Along ” this one more specific, addressing me directly but no, I won’t give in. The traffic up ahead is out of this world especially on days when the devils are released. In this city, there are days when you can get a tad lucky and spend less time in traffic (key word: less time) and those are days when the Lagos traffic devils are snoring. “ Aboki, you dey go National ?” I approached the nearest biker. “ Oga, I no fit reach National or Along ooo, na Ajayi Farm I go stop ”, he explained that there’s a police road block ahead and ‘Okadas’ were being arrested. Okay, Ajayi farm estate it is. One more passenger and off we go. Apparently, Ajayi Farm is close to Ikeja Along bus stop (‘Along’ for convenience) and a little trekking won’t hurt. Afterall we a

Getting married is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful experiences in life. And not just getting married for the sake of it but getting married to the love of your life. Someone who, though with a few blemishes you’re willing you work around, ticks all relevant boxes. Not like you’re free from defects too but your partner, like you, is willing to cope with those not-so-pleasant things. Apparently, every beautiful thing requires sacrifice.  Bayo’s marriage to Damilola was indeed a memorable one. They’ve known each other since childhood living in the same estate in Lagos. A lot of societal functions for kids usually brought them together and when paired together for challenging tasks they’re quite a formidable team. The whole thing finally made sense as adulthood befell them in one clean swoop. Bayo and Damilola got admission into Babcock University to study International relations and Economics respectively and their lives took a new turn. “Hey, your girl is here”, “Mr Dam

Hello avid reader. Your curiosity got the better of you yet again. You know, sometimes it could lead you to places you’re not supposed to be and like a mechanical hazard, gets you drawn-in so deep into thinking about your entire existence and the choices you’ve made. More often than not, the damage grows exponentially that improvised control measures are nothing but a sham, a pitiable attempt by humanity to save what’s left of another wandering soul. Let’s take a ride, shall we? Do you remember the very first (and only) time you had that lofty idea under total control and were brought crashing back to earth abruptly? Yes, you hate to be reminded but that lofty plans failed woefully that you look so stupid to have attempted it in the first place. Accolades where due, that idea was a million dollar idea and in a different circumstance would have landed you a place among the enviable galaxy of stars. But the irony? A well thought-out plan that didn’t go beyond the larva stage
