Facilitating a training session on  "How to benefit from Digital media as students and the need to promote PEACE as young people" My life is victory personified. My dad believes in winning against all odds. My mum always has her hopes up high and ready to accommodate the aroma of victory from the heavens. My sisters know that tomorrow is never promised until you win today. It means that each of us has our very own battles to win daily. We consolidate our little victories. Thus, the family defines what it means to live while knowing that grace is sufficient for us.  Till we succeed, we shall continue to persist through perseverance with our mustard faith.  We are not superhumans; we are the family and together we achieve a lot. In our peculiarities, we strive to communion in this journey while supporting each other. Reaffirming that in our weakest moments, we have ourselves. Yes, we are the family. Life, as it unfolds, has many facets to it. I am planning to tell my D...

To whom it might concern, You can be mighty in your right Yet you are left with nothing but your conscience Your life is much more valuable than a #hashtag Though it's now woven into the fibre of every 21st-century being's thumb You are may have access to the window but not the front door Your accounts are controlled at the backend by a stranger Humble yourself because your digital handle has no door You are worth every cell fighting for your survival  Not every cell ready to impede your survival  Fact is, you have done all the surviving Your brain and heart have never taken a break since your inception Just pause, breathe and acknowledge that this is remarkable So just in case, you intend to give up or mess up, remember they trust your next move Take turns to tell your stories in tens, a decade elapses like a minute You will account for every move and decision you make You do not need to make up but wake up from your slumber Time is running out, better follow it because ...

This isn’t an acronym. It is a powerful tool. It is blunt but has altered the patterns of history with unequivocal writing success. It has survived all the defining moments through the centuries Ranging from the early reed, quills, and dip pens to the contemporary ballpoint, fountain, and felt pens. History has it that, all users demand a special pen based on the pending purpose of use There is this status symbol attached to any kind of pen that has ever been manufactured. M. Klein and H. W. Wynne had received a US patent for the fountain in 1867. But as early as the 10 th century, the pen had existed.  And until this day, it has metamorphosed through many phases and designs. One of my favourites and most used pen from the 20 th to this century has been Michaels Bich’s Bic pen that was invented in the 1950s. It is simply elegant and mighty. The sword could see itself sharp but the pen is supreme. Talk of brainstorming sessions that led to generati...

After all our hustle, we finally got the project. Saying we were ecstatic would even be an understatement. Words could not express the joy we felt. We were so happy!! We knew our path to greatness had begun. We could taste success though it seemed miles away. Our journey of a thousand mile, we had begun with a step of attaining the project. "Yes, we finally did it!!" - we exclaimed. Filled with hope we began the project, our journey. Our project was to be completed in a year. We often would say "A year is more than we need. We can finish in less than 11." Filled with hope, we did our best. "The path to success is not rosy." "Nothing good comes easy." "Great successes are borne out of great sufferings." With these words in our minds, we worked hard. We gave it all we had. Day and night we worked. Hardly resting.  All was going well. We were on track. We were filled with so much joy. We knew we had completed abo...

Unannounced, she leaves saying no goodbyes. Unheralded, she passes on giving no warnings. Unpredictably, she transmutes from earthly being to an Angel -  Our little saint Your unexpected exit has left me in shambles. I'm a total mess - confusion all over. Those you left behind are all at sea. My befuddled mind refuses to accept your departure. We had plans - a brighter future, a happy future I knew our unforseen issues would be solved because we got each other's back. Then you left! No good byes, no warnings  You just left! You were to cater for half and I the other. Though we were opposites, we were to supplement each other like the Chinese yin-yang.  Yet you travelled home without giving me heads up.

Reality check; life seems to present me with camouflaged routes. But I believe my end shall be glorious. I will genuflect in praise of my Father for his goodness It is no surprise that every human being is defensive even in trivial matters We can't seem to be enough for ourselves We toil day in and day out, we sacrifice a lot just to make ends meet. In all aspects of our lives, we desire perfection and much more. But how much is enough? At a point in my life, I wanted to become everything I had imagined possible Being a blessed family man, prolific public speaker and a global development advocate was on top of my list The future is uncertain, but I am not giving up on my dreams. I believe I am gradually becoming a visionary. I expected nature to understand my quest to be the successful Victor in life. I thought if I knew everything about something I will become some kind of superhero. I contemplated living my very own fairy tale. Sometimes I get worried, I get sca...
