Living In Lagos Is Toxic!

I moved to Lagos in January 2016, to take a certificate course in Film Directing at Royal Arts Academy. This was a big move for me because I had never lived anywhere but the Northern part of the country and I didn’t know if I was going to be able to acclimatize to the culture shock of the new town. Plus, I had heard so many things about Lagos that convinced me that Éko was not for me. Long story short, the stories are true!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MO!

I met this beautifully awesome woman - MODUPE FAKOREDE aka MO - a little over 3 months ago.

She came off as one major ajebutter with her British accent but when she became naija, she was naija! Lol.

Happy Birthday Sadiya!

My Sadiya! My baby! My first child! (hey Sadiya, na play! No vex ko! LMHO!).

I remember when she was born. I remember when she was brought home. I remember how excited I was when my mum finally let me carry her. She was our little sister and we all silently pledged to love and protect her.

There were times we didn’t quite gel. I used to be so hard on her, forgetting that she was just a baby. And there were times we played like the age difference between us was just one year….or one day.

Have I told you that she is the sweetest, most giving person in the world? As little as she was, she taught me to forgive because she just couldn’t keep malice.

In the first post, I talk about church leaders whose actions are questionable at best and downright manipulative at worst. Catch up in I Have A Problem With 'church Folks'. In this one, I continue by listing the types of church members I have a problem with.

First off, let me state that I believe in the story of Jesus Christ and that his existence, birth, life, death, resurrection, and reign is the model of faith that I subscribe to.

SCAM: SAMSUNG (NIGERIA) ADVERT

So yesterday, I had a shoot to do and was on my way to Itu-agan Island in Lagos. I was surfing the web because traffic was really crazy; as if I really need an excuse to surf the net; internet junkie that I am. I got a  DM notification. Usually, I wouldn’t have bothered to check…but I did. It was from a lady called Sanra Williams @SanraWilliamSng.
