The Good You’ll write copy that comes from the deepest part of your soul. It’ll be flawless, taste like nectar, drip like honey, smell like coffee. Each sentence will be tailored with fine detail. You’ll pick each line with a purpose. Your work will be a performance, an orchestra of letters, words and paragraphs with…
Day #4: Confessions
I’m catholic. I (think) I understand what confession means. If you ask me when the last time I confessed was, I’ll say it was a few months ago. I told a girl how I felt about her. She sent my backside to the friendzone. The last time I knelt and told a priest, “Bless me…
Day #3: To The Five of You
You’ll have dreams and goals and aspirations that run from Earth to Mars. You’ll put timelines to when you want to achieve certain things. “I’ll be rich by 30,” you’ll say. “I’ll own a car. I’ll have businesses. I’ll buy a house.” “I’ll be married by 25.” There will be many things you’ll want. You’ll…
Day #2: Bucket List
Do I have a Bucket List? I don’t think I have one. Maybe it’s because I don’t understand what it is. I don’t know what it should have. True, there are things I want to do. I don’t consider them Bucket List worthy though. I did what a clueless guy like me would do. I…
Day #1: A Disjointed Letter To You
Hi Reader, This is the beginning of a 21 Day Blogging Challenge. It’s the #lockdownblog challenge. Where I am, I’ve already been social distancing for 17 days. I should be writing a letter that moves you. But getting into the third week of social distancing and quarantine over here drives my mind to its default…
Day six of social distancing
I did a 30-minute cadio workout this morning. Scissor steps, Skaters, Jumping Jacks and Pop squats. The idea came from a phone call I had last night. That work out drained the energy out of my skin. I’ll continue with it tomorrow. Then I cooked. I made honey glazed boneless chicken and what Nigerians called…
Day Five of Social Distancing
The days will start like other previous workdays. But there will be a twist. You’ll wake up at 7:50am, turn your lights on, do 45 pushups, enter the bathroom and do the things people do in bathrooms. You’ll draw your curtains and open the window. You’ll brew your morning coffee and have it with Swedish…
Luxembourg City
This one’s going to be short and sweet, like Sauti Sol and Nyashinski. I took a trip to Luxembourg last weekend. Four hours and 20 minutes – that’s how long the train ride took. I stepped off the train at Gare Centrale, cellphone in hand with no connection, walked to the information point, was given…
Oh, This App
There are people you’ll meet and have no conversation with. You’ll be strangers. No words will be exchanged between yourselves. Silence will slice through the air. You might want to say something, but you’ll second guess everything. You’ll not be sure whether they’ll want to hear anything from you anyway. So you’ll stay quiet and…
