Am I a victim of my own expectations?
Anyone who went to college with me would tell you that I was at the club every Friday and Saturday. It would be pointless to start lying now, if you know me then you know that I enjoyed my varsity days to the fullest. I also wore the smallest clothes possible and I could get [...]
How Well Do You Know The World Wide Web?
I think its safe to say that a lot of us understand internet from where google starts going forward, you want to learn something, you google it and then it appears. Everything you need, google can lead you to it in two or three clicks and you are in. However, are you aware that there [...]
I want to report the police
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to travel to some far away place and because I knew I was not going to come back in one night, I asked my sister to come and sleep over and take care of my children. My sister did that beautifully and then when I arrived home today, she decided [...]
Bills! Bills! Bills!
I am a product of boarding school, went to primary, high school and varsity away from home. Within a year of finishing my varsity, my father booted me out...not in a harsh sense...in a nice way, organised me a flat, furniture and said, "I wish you the best in life." I was over the moon [...]

I Hope You Dance
When I was 25, I was working for a company that I absolutely hated. I needed inspiration to do anything, I would set up 4 alarms before actually getting out of bed. One would be at 4:00am, then at 5:00am, then at 5.30am and finally at 6.00am. The first three weren't for me to wake [...]

Its quite logical really, when someone came up with the calendar, they slotted the weekend in because they knew that people needed to rest besides the fact that God also told them to put in a day of rest. It was actually an exciting week when one considers, my highlights;
The Greatest Legacy That One Can Leave Their Kids
I have always thought that the greatest legacy that one can leave their kids is riches. And that was before I had kids. Now that I have kids and a bit more mature, I am beginning to think that I might be wrong. Yes, like any other normal parent, I want my kids to be super comfortable, I want them to have what everybody else is having and a bit more.
