#YoursTruly02: AGBADO




Corn. Maize. Agbado. 

These words mean one and the same thing. 
Corn is nutritious and rich in fiber. It is magnesium-rich with vitamins that aid digestive and eye health.It is a rich source of protein and helps to boost one’s bone strength and immune system. Well, now you know.

Some days ago, Mummy asked me to boil some corn. Well, I joyfully marched to the kitchen to do so.  Foodies like us don’t waste time… you know! So, I did the basics, you know, get a pot of appropriate size, wash the raw corn, put water in the pot, arrange the corn in it and add some salt. Yes, that easy. Thank me later.

So, I went back to my work station with the expectation that the pleasant aroma of corn was going to visit me soon. Well, out of curiosity, I decided to check after a while. To my greatest surprise, the gas flame was out. The pot was a bit warm and the corn still raw.  
Quite disappointed, I had to change the gas cylinder and exercise more patience. It was worth the wait anyway, I munched with pride that day. Hehehe
I pondered on what happened that day, I like to believe there was a deeper lesson from the entire scenario;

The pot was still hot,
The gas flame was out,
 The corn was raw, 
I was not aware about this,
I was away, expecting to receive a harvest of sweet corn.

Stay active in the Process. Do not be in a hurry because you have had one experience. There’s more. To avoid operating on old fuel and achieving nothing, do not be absent minded to your present state in every area of your life. If you are working towards becoming a better person, be active about it and stay IN the process. Do not assume. Be positive minded, work in progress! That’s me, that’s you.

WE MOVE

2020! Quite an unprecedented year. I am sure you have stories and experiences that shaped your life this year. I do too. Alot. For some, 2020 was a roller coaster. One minute everything was 'normal', the next minute, there's a pandemic that makes you think twice before hugging your neighbour and which declares a face mask an essential 'accessory'. These persons focused on taking one day at a time because of the unprecedented nature of the year. For others, 2020 was the year of their dreams. They were able to implement plans and achieve their goals. The lockdown helped them reflect on their lives and take the necessary steps in the right direction. Did you  just say 'abegggi'?...hold on! Irrespective of how 2020 was for you; good,  bad, 'in between' (yes, this category definitely exists), accept the fact that we can not go back to January 2020 to change things or re-start the year. The only option is to MOVE forward. Now, in mo...

I'M BACK!

Image
2021 has been an eventful year so far! I know it's been a minute. Errrrr, maybe more than a minute. It's been 11 weeks!😂😂😂  I resumed in January 2021 to complete my training at the Nigerian Law School. The pandemic extended the academic calendar and so, I had to use the remaining time judiciously. Rounded off my bar exams last week. Thank God for everything, honestly. I. AM. BACK. 😊 Watch out for amazing and inspiring contents on academics, faith, and lifestyle. I have plans to share my academic journey from the University to Law School with you especially the lessons I learnt and tips I believe will be helpful for undergraduates and aspirants to the Nigerian Bar and so many other amazing contents. I think the appropriate question at this point is:    Thank you for saying YES! Pheyy. 🤗

#YoursTruly03: OLD PLAYLIST

Image
                      I love music. I think that is an interesting fact about me because no day passes without music being a major part of my 24 hours. I have a thing for lyrics and beats too. Once it blesses, edifies and inspires me, there’s a playlist for it. Some days ago, my entire last added playlist rearranged itself. I was like “who sent this one message” at the beginning because, my newly downloaded songs were lost in the crowd of my very long list. But, I realized that some of the songs I was seeing were my jams back in the day.  It’s a cycle. The least played song on your playlist was once the song on repeat and there was a time when that song resonated with your entire being.                 Infact some songs reminded me of some challenges I had passed through at a particular phase of my life. What about the ones that were always on repeat during study ...
