However, can we please pray for them. We may not be able to save them but let’s say a word of prayer every morning. My heart aches anytime it seems like we are moving on.
I have watched some beautiful videos from #OjudeOba, but I felt a wave of sadness and can’t continue. I imagined the kidnappers showing the children & principal these videos & how it may sink them. It’s not to say people should not enjoy the festival and its significance.

Out of ten men, one makes a sexual joke at a woman, two laugh, three fake a chuckle to fit in, and four stay silent. None of them speak up. Later, nine of them still believe they're the "good guys." But from the woman's perspective, the laughter, the silence, the looking away, it all creates the same environment. So when women say"most men are the same," this is what they mean: not that every man harasses women, but that most men help protect the system that does.

162 people feared k+lled in Kwara State: one of the de@dliest ter+rist att@cks in Nigeria so far
More than 160 people have been k+lled in coordinated att@cks on Woro and Nuku villages in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State, marking one of Nigeria’s de@dliest assaults this year.
The d+ath toll stood at 162 as of Wednesday afternoon, according to Mohammed Omar Bio, the lawmaker representing the area. He said the att@cks were carried out on Tuesday by the Lakurawa, an armed group linked to the Islamic State, although no group has officially claimed responsibility.
According to local sources, g+nmen stormed the villages, rounded up residents, tied their hands behind their backs and executed them. Homes and shops were also set abl+ze during the as+sa¥lt.
A Kaiama-based politician, Sa’idu Baba Ahmed, said many residents fled into surrounding bushland with g+nshot wounds, while several people, including the village’s traditional ruler, were still missing.
Residents told reporters that the att@ckers were jihadists who had previously preached in the communities and demanded that villagers abandon allegiance to the Nigerian state and adopt sharia law. When locals resisted, the gunmen reportedly opened fire.
Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq condemned the k+llings, describing them as a “cowardly” act by terr+rist cells responding to intensified military operations in the area.
Kwara borders Niger State, where armed groups have expanded their activities in recent years. The Nigerian military has said it recently launched sustained operations against terrorist elements in the region.
In a separate incident on Tuesday, g+nmen also k+lled at least 13 people in Doma village, Faskari Local Government Area of Katsina State, according to police, highlighting the continuing wave of vi%lence across northern Nigeria.
So none of our scholars or imams with reach have anything to say about this? All you twitter alfas giving women advice everyday, this doesn’t upset you? It doesn’t concern you?
People are more likely to believe in you when you believe in yourself enough to not care if they do.
Your obsession with the validation of men is counterproductive.
How Wole Soyinka Inherited the Drama of the Gods — and Shadowed the Nigerian Tragedy
Since the 1950s, the Nobel laureate has worked in rebellion, carving out a complex, fecund torque of an oeuvre. But as his plays of mythic vigor and Yoruba impulse revitalized Anglophone theatre, raising an art form to ritualistic heights, his force of personality kept him in the political arena, a close witness of an African affliction. Few artists have lived like him. Yet at 91, carrying the mantle of “greatest living writer,” he has one more great battle on his hands — with generations who once deified him.

This year, creatives across continents shared stories, built connections, launched projects, found courage, and took up space, and you were part of that growth.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in advance!
this is probably an unexpected opinion coming from me... entrepreneurship is over-sold and self-awareness is under-sold 👇🏾
The not so popular truth is, most people would be happier with a good salary than a successful startup.
But social media continues to push a generation to optimise for lives they don't actually want.
Entrepreneurs like me get a lot of likes and followers when we tell people to quit their jobs and chase their dreams.
But here is the context that we nearly always miss👇🏾
Entrepreneurship can be really really boring - you will have to do things you do not enjoy.
You will deal with big, hard, stressful problems, every day - including bank holidays, christmas and any other time off - for years.
If you're lucky enough to be successful, the problems will get bigger, not smaller.
You will not have one boss. You will have hundreds - every customer, every investor, every employee. You will answer to them 24/7.
You will probably work 3x the hours you do now, have 10x the stress and a tiny probability of significant success.
A recent survey found 87.7% of founders deal with at least mental health issues. That's not a bug. It's a feature of entrepreneurship.
You'll see your kids less. You'll probably earn less (for years, maybe forever).
You will probably pay yourself last and as little as possible.
You'll struggle to switch off. Forever. Your phone will probably become a prison.
And here's the punchline: If you succeed, it all gets harder.
More money = more complexity. More growth = more anxiety. More success = more people depending on you.
In life, when you find yourself following someone else's playbook, you are at risk of winning someone else's prizes. All I'm saying is be intentional.
I'm not AGAINST entrepreneurship, I'm FOR self-awareness.
Truth "wealth" is probably👇🏾
✅ Knowing what game you want to play and why
✅ Having the courage not to play other people's games
✅ Understanding your real strengths and weaknesses
✅ Designing within them, not against them
Happiness is not about the structure, the social media post or the story.
Happiness is about alignment. Building a life that's aligned to whoever you are!
This does the beg the question, why do I do it?
If I'm honest, the answer is probably....I don't know.
It's probably some blend of lower t trauma, my inability to fit inside normal structures like school and conventional work-places (I was fired a few times), my adhd brain that makes working on something for 14 straight hours feel like 7 minutes and some childhood self-esteem issues.
Whatever the reason, this is who I am and what works for me.
This is the weird way I make myself happy and fulfilled.
To someone that is not me, it would probably feel like torture.
And to me, their life would probably feel like torture.
And that’s the thing… when you create a life that feels like home to you, it will probably look like hell to tourists.
Please know what you are not!
