I turned 22 roughly a month ago, on the 8th of August. A few days to my birthday, I started reflecting on the things I've learned in my relatively little time on earth. I'm posting this in the hope that someone learns a thing or two. Personally, I also intend to use these lessons for some goal-setting and life-planning going forward. #Birthday, #Lessons, #Lifestyle

Music: Here (Live Cover) by Rukky Otive
"Here" is a gospel song by Kari Jobe that reminds us that we are never alone because God is always with us. In this video, I perform a live cover of the song. You can watch the video below or on YouTube (scroll down to view the lyrics). Credits go to Promise Chime (on the keyboard), Favour (on the drums), and Uviboy (video recording). #Cover, #GospelMusic, #LiveCover, #Music

Are we all being controlled by our desire for money?
A couple of months ago, my friend Rita asked me a question: If you didn't have to worry about money or job security, what would you do with your life? This made me curious about whether anyone would even be doing conventional 9-5 jobs on a full-time basis if they didn't have to worry about money or job security. #Career, #Class, #ClassInequality, #Job, #Money
#TwitterBan in Nigeria: Can you be prosecuted?
A lot has happened in Nigeria over the past few days, and they can all be traced to the #TwitterBan imposed by the Federal Government on Friday June 4th. This is my attempt to analyse the legal implications of the ban on citizens. #Law, #Legal, #LegalAnalysis, #Lifestyle, #PublicPolicy, #SocialMedia, #Twitter, #TwitterBan

Hard Work vs Smart Work: A Modern Interpretation of the Tortoise and the Hare
In its traditional form, the story of the tortoise and the hare is used to teach a lesson such as 'slow and steady wins the race' (even though I don't believe that this statement is always true). However, I stumbled upon the picture below while I was scrolling through Instagram, and I found the twist on the traditional tortoise and hare depiction quite interesting. #ClassInequality, #HardWork, #Motivation, #SmartWork, #Success
Music: Peace (Live Cover) by Rukky Otive
Guess who's back with another live cover! In this video, I perform "Peace" by Asa. "Peace" is a song of lamentation about the struggles of life.
