Believe in Yourself  ! Life is not as complicated as we think it is, we just need to keep moving. Success is relative, Success differs from person to person , however success comes from when " you have achieved your own goals" for those of us in Sales, achieving set targets have various rewards, Bonuses, promotion, many a times reviewed targets just to name a few, however personal goals should not be about buying a new car or building a new house, we need to live quality lives. Being a Nigerian living in Nigeria I continuously punch myself talking to myself "What am I doing in this Country?"My daughters are growing fast into Young Ladies and it is heartbreaking when I can not find a decent pair of Trainers to buy, { Not that I can not afford them, just not enough available in the stores as everybody stocks low quality.I finally get a pair but it costs an arm an a leg! } It takes inner strength to live on your own terms, because you have no applause along the way but...

This morning I woke up with my Saturday morning “To do List” on my mind, I water my date trees muttering a prayer under my breath for a Parcel of land to transplant each strand (I will explain this in another episode.) Mornings are a great time to imagine and daydream as the house is still quiet, and I think about all the events that have built me up to this day. I smile, I curse, I hiss and grin to myself (an observer would have thought I might be a little crazy). I ask myself, “Oyinda are you okay with were you are?” I close my eyes and memories flood by, I remember when my parents asked me to relocate to UK, I turn my Dad down politely, I could see the surprise in his eyes, “Oyinda, are you sure?  Your younger ones will be better off than you" he says with concern, (for my readers, I am a Nigerian living in Nigeria, ) my dad was affluent in his time, however at that point in time in my life I did not want to start all over again, there was this inner voice that told me to stay ...

I got this cartoon from LinkedIn. These words are so true,  we have created generations of corrupt practices, we have lost our emotional compasses, we do not know the difference of right or wrong, we do everything to survive. What scares me the most is this is not the kind of life and society I want my  daughters to  live in. I remember a story that happened to Inikpi, there is a neighborhood bakery across the road, so we decided to have a loaf of hot bread, So Inikpi decides to cross the road and requests me to wait for her,  I stand waiting by the gate, I realise that she is taking too long, I quickly cross the road and I see Inikpi looking puzzled, Inikpi whispers to me " mum, my change is incomplete " I walk up to the lady selling the bread, I try to ask politely " madam, the change is not complete" I fix my best smile, she snaps back, "can the girl not talk?, she did not explain"  I was so angry, is it that she wanted to short change the girl?, or she...

Yesterday, we went to an Ibadan version of a French Paris cafe,  outdoors, trees,  young students making noise,  we were eating chips and barbecued chicken wings, Ali and I were drinking beer, you were sipping and said to me "mum,  tell me more about my birth story" I smiled at you, lifted my head up from my candy crush saga game, Ali smiled, he looked at me and we smiled at each other,  in that look a million words had been said between us. You are a prize my darling Inikpi Araoluwa. You are the first thing I ever fought for.  (I guess you would be 😕   puzzled)  Inikpi, you were so quiet in my tummy, I was afraid you will be stillborn.  I stressed your dad so frequently to the emergency ward,  the poor chap had turned into a staff member at the general hospital.  You were quiet for another 7.5 years. Clingy, unsure, cautious, you walked late, you spoke late,  I had to leave you with strangers so I could go to work,  your...
