“In the Embrace of Faith: Finding Strength in Weariness -To Those Who Are at the Edge.” — In languor, I find my soul weighed down, Yet in the darkness, faith’s flame does not drown. For though exhaustion may cast its heavy shroud, In God’s embrace, light is found. In moments when strength does wane, Who lifts the one who bears others’ pain? …

Some personal thoughts on the aftermath of the Nigerian Elections. — [Warning!! I am not promising you that this will make you feel good. Kindly read with caution.] Dear friend, Where do we go from here? It has been a rough couple of days.

At that time, most of my friends seem…

What I learnt about branding in retrospect from a snack seller during my NYSC orientation camp experience. — One of the most interesting branding phenomena I’ve seen was while I was in NYSC camp at Sagamu, Ogun State.

I have read a lot of definitions of what a startup is. However, one of the few that stuck with me is Eric Reis’: “a startup is a human institution designed to deliver a new product/service under conditions of extreme uncertainty.” …

This is interesting. I felt this exact same way when I lost my mother late last year. I couldn't understand why everyone kept saying "everything happens for a reason" or "it was God's will", and I kept asking "can someone please tell me why it happened then, since everyone seem…

So I completed my registration into the Stingy Men Association of Nigeria (SMAN), and here’s what I’ve found out. — hahaha. In all honesty, this started as pure banter.
