When the ministry office opened in that roadside shop thirteen years ago, I knew that I had no option but to be disciplined with the work. There was no way I would leave the legal profession to a higher calling to Eruwa and do less. I would dress up formally [...]
Read MoreA few months after our wedding, we were in a Supermarket and needed to buy body cream for the family. I had no particular preference, but my wife had the one she was using as a single lady. We headed straight to the section that housed what we wanted. When [...]

I was driving that evening through some of the city’s interesting areas to catch up on an appointment with my spiritual Grandfather. The GPS already told me it would take me about an hour to get to him. Some minutes into the trip, a tricycle rider decided to be naughty and squeeze himself into a tiny space between me and […]
I did terribly as a young husband. One evening, I returned from work, and as my habit was, I picked up my phone and began to press it. I did not know Irewamiri had called me three times in an attempt to tell me something. I was so distracted that I did not know when she left our bedroom to […]
As we walked towards the car that evening, Olive ran ahead to the car. As we got to the car, she called out to her sister and me, saying, “I got to the car first.” Danielle’s response was simple but profound. She said to her, “I am not in competition with you.” If you will overcome distraction, you must get […]
At a point on my journey, I realized that I would have productive tasks to carry out, but once I pick up my phone, it takes a while before I settle back into focusing on what has to be done. It was getting so bad that my phone became the last thing I pressed at night and the first thing […]
A dear mentor told me a long time ago that he loves hotel rooms where there is a little notepad or jotter by the bedside alongside a pen. When he saw I was curious, he said to me, “The last thing you should do before going to bed is to take note of what you want to do the next […]
There was a time when I needed to pull back and rest a bit. My body was already showing the signs of ‘I need you to slow down a bit and catch a rest,’ so I decided to take a rest. I made a discovery—the rest of a day or two suddenly dulled my spirit. I noticed I was not […]
As teenagers, my friends and I had a routine we kept on the first day of every year. We would all get in a car and drive around different homes in town. The journey started in a home where there was always roasted local chicken and ended with a family that would normally throw a light party every first day […]
My parents told a story about how my brother fell sick as a little boy. It was late in the night in Eruwa when they got a referral to the city of Ibadan. Dad would not take chances to wait till morning. They drove that same night, for almost two hours to get to the city. Why? Life was at […]
As a secondary (high) school student, the session began with some amazing decisions. I would have new notes, a blue or black pen accompanied by a red one, and a ruler. The goal was to have a neat and complete note. Who was like me? It always started well. I would write the date in the top left corner. I […]
The first time I fell in love had some unforgettable moments. I had fallen head over heels. It became so bad that if I was heading to pray and the babe requested a meet-up, I would postpone my prayer time just to see her. It was becoming a distraction. One day, while I was spending time in prayer, I heard […]
