It's another 365 days tick tock today for me and I'm so grateful for all I have achieved for the last 3 decades. Grace found me, lifted me and prospered me. I chose that funny title for this post because a dear friend wished me a Happy womb escape. Well, she never meant no harm but the quidnunc inside me just went 'whaaaaat, hell no! I can't be a womb escapee". Womb Escape....Is that a new line. I guess so. Literally this shouldn't mean anything. I just feel like making a sensible issue of it. No one whether planned or unplanned should be a womb escapee. God's got plans for all mankind irrespective of how your conception took place. I'll let you into my own life a little to explain what I mean. Precisely 3 Jan three decades ago my mother was terribly sick and had me in her tummy. She was diagnosed with jaundice and the doctors said her only option was to allow them terminate the child so she could live. My dad had no choice but signed the papers. T...
It wasn’t business as usual today at the ikeja new garage as a female bus driver ceremoniously joined the drivers plying the Ikeja/Ojodu Berger route. I got to the garage as usual and found people gathering, there was such much euphoria in the air as I fastened my steps just to get a glimpse of the cause.

The reason I decided to write this is actually because of the support and cooperation she got from other male bus drivers and conductors. We live in a society where men look down on women who tend to compete in masculine professio...
In simple words....I learnt patience. My kind of job which usually is contractual determines my daily schedule for me, but this January, things just went totally in a different direction and saw me adjusting to the very slow part of the process. Recession has taken over my country thereby reducing the minimum expenditure budget of clients on fashion items. This has it's own effects on my daily income but I learnt a great deal of patience. It was as if January wouldn't just end. Alot of ideas waiting to be executed but the capital funding needed were seized by the recurrent recession. What then can a young entrepreneur do than to enjoy the process. Wait and allow things take it's due course. Hopefully February eliminates all these uncertainties and we all reel in fruitfulness for our labour in the coming days. Let's talk, share with us what January has taught you.
