Get your gloves on.

Cos it’s time to fight to get back what is yours.

*exhales*… It’s been so long, too long maybe. I could come up with a million reasons why I have left you for so long, but a wise man told me recently “the path to failure is a million excuses”. So I have decided to own up and take responsibility. I didn’t want it bad enough, i.e. beyond the excuses, hence I left you and I apologise, please…

They say two fingers in the air signify peace, but deep within us there are several wars going on, there's a fight between mediocrity and being extraordinary, being comfortable and chasing dreams, even fight between remaining at peace and choosing to fight. One thing I believe is you fight for peace, not necessarily with weapons of mass destruction, but daily with the will power to be at peace, we go to war.✌️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B1rDCZBFJv7/?igshid=xgei8wsl6xil

It's already in you!

It’s already in you!

As a child, I knew what to do to get what I wanted. When I needed food, intuitively all I needed to do was to cry and like magic, the food would always appear between a 30 second to 2 minutes time frame. When I needed someone to carry me, I would create my best puppy dog face, wait for the right moment when the individual I am trying to guilt trip is watching and cry, when I needed someone to…

Mutual Funding - The investment hook up!

Mutual Funding – The investment hook up!

Here comes the bride! The sound of the Keyboard playing the angelic tune and the sight of his bride walking down the aisle so majestically made tear drops trickle down his eyes, and he knew that his life was about to take a turn for good.

Despite

For me, one word that defines loves best is this – ‘despite’ Here is what I mean, it is very easy to be all mushy and be saying ‘I love you’ up and down when things are rosy and are going good, but what truly proves that we love someone are our actions, despite the fact that things appear to go south. Brief story. – A great king created His look alike whom he was quite fond of and regularly came…

ALTERNATE UNIVERSE

What’s up family? I know I missed you too. In Genesis 2: 9-25, The Bible gives a brief account of life in the Garden of Eden, the original home God prepared for man, and I personally think it was pretty cool. There were rivers, animals, and Adam had a pretty lady, the only pretty lady around if I may add, which means he was with the bone of his bone – literally, his ribs were used in the…

We are Back!

We are Back!!! Well, truth be told, I never really went anywhere, was just… away! But, frankly, I have missed you all so much, I have been getting a number of positive comments and I am extremely grateful to God for using a skinny boy like me to reach all the people I have through my blog and words. Not too long ago, my classmate walked up to me, we got talking and then she said ‘I went through…

Lessons from Nature (1)

Lessons from Nature (1)

My dad is a big lover of nature, explains why in our balcony we have various species of plants, these plants all have their unique qualities and they are all beautiful (in their own way). Over time, I have grown fond of these plants and I was given just 1 simple duty – give them water… finish, like that’s all. That’s all my dad asked of me, that’s all the plants asked of me. “Just give me water”…

#flashBack to the lp46 provincial finals of @mygcgtglobal last year . I had just started writing and I frankly wasn't sure I could, but miraculously I was there at the provincial finals and things just started looking real... After the long wait, they announced the result and...I won!! I remember not being able to sleep that night cos of the excitement. And from then on, I was sure I could do this, so I kept on writing and trying to get better. I know there's a lot of people right now stalling on the things they should be doing because they don't believe they are good enough. If you are reading this and you have a passion for something, believe me, you are good enough to do it, just start! Public Service Announcement- My Birthday is on Tuesday and I just realized I don't have fine picture😭😭😖 please if there's any chance you have a fine picture of me, please d.m me. I had about 365 days to prepare for this and still didn't take any fine picture.😭 So fam, if any one decides to post for my birthday please use one of my poems instead #gcgt5 #spokenWord #poetry

Time Travel

  Hi there, I am you from 5 years time, don’t you just like how your physical attributes have literally fully developed? your facial  hair is now so enormous, you can start doing “beard gang” up and down, your chest is now broader than ever, even your friends are calling you “express”, your voice is so deep, you cause mini earthquakes when you talk, but that’s about it, you also notice you have…
