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.

To my amazement, she had with her a female conductor also to help with obtaining fares and settling transactions with commuters. 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...
My thoughts exactly……it is not really the number of years it takes to know someone that truly matters but the value on which the friendship is founded. Ours took just eleven days precisely to start and probably had ended because it lacks definition of purpose. It all started like a joke and within hours of communication it seems like a friendship that has always been in existence, we bonded easily and were eager to add face to what had already been established. There was no time to pause and think if it was right or wrong at that time so we equally faced our fears and got started. My restrictive power failed me when we finally met and I fell in love with the personality placed before me, I got carried away immediately not minding if this is ordained by God or not or suffer another heartbreak sojourn, I just felt this personality is too precious to be toiled or taken for granted. Instead of seeing a stranger, I saw a friend, confidant and possibly as partners either in lov...
