To all that matters: A gratitude piece


I look back at yesterday 
And I'm grateful for today 
Because today holds the promise of tomorrow. 
Never lose sight of the future 
because you are so immersed in the moment but also enjoy the joy 
that comes with every moment
Remember you are never in total control of tomorrow. 

To love,
To life,
to dreams yet to be realised, 
to the ones already achieved 
to the ones still to be imagined.
Alhamdulillah for everything.
To those moments I've ignored 
To blind to see what's within my reach. Forgive me, 
I was ignorant 
A bird in hand is definitely worth more than two in the Bush
To the ones I love 
And those that love me more
There's always a space in my heart for you. Several thoughts dedicated to each of you every time I spend alone.

To the gifts and blessings 
I took for granted, 
received on a platter of gold
From the Source of generosity
One independent of all 
yet very dependable. 
I had cast away these for far too long 
but now away I put them no more.
I want to explore every bit 
and exploit every inch of them. 
Your grace, 
I pray to lead my steps,
To carry me through
Your mercy and blessings 
to be with me 
for the rest of my life.
Oh One, 
To Whom all belongs to.
Aamin!

Saturday Digest: Life of an Abeokuta Corper

Well it’s more like things you need to know about the city and its people. Other corp members I have spoken to about these have also confirmed it. Yes, they’ve noticed these things too.  Topography This is not strange. The name Abeokuta literally means under the rock or beneath/below the stone, so one wouldn’t be surprised if the whole city is rocky. There are lots of rocks everywhere that I kept thinking Olumo is scattered everywhere not until

LOVE TO BINGE WATCH? HERE ARE FIVE WEB SERIES TO START WITH

G one are the days when the only place to watch series is on a cable network and local stations. Nowadays one is spoilt for choice with varieties of series on the internet, found on streaming platforms like Netflix, Showmax, Amazon prime video, Irokotv and so on. Usually watching movies and TV series is only possible with a subscription fee that is mostly charged monthly and some streaming apps, also offer yearly plan and then you need a solid data plan.  Meaning you get to incur expenses in two ways; a subscription to access the movies and a data plan to be able to watch the movies, which to some people is a total waste of money, especially in places like Nigeria where data plans are still very expensive. In recent times, there has been an upsurge of alternatives to the series on subscription-based platforms called web series.

Here's why you might either want to play or skip this movie. And yes, I'm going to be very careful so that I don't give out spoilers.  Here's a a brief summary of the prequel. A Wealthy man dies and is survived by a wife and a son or so they thought until mistresses and children start to spring up claiming to be married to him or fathered by him and therefore entitled to the inheritance.  Chief Daddy 2: Going for broke is mainly a continuation of the endless drama in its prequel and just like the subtitle states our main characters have all gone broke all thanks to some certain character.
