“My biggest challenge is that when I was little, I was living a luxurious life, but everything changed when my mom fell sick. It was hard for me to fit in with my new life. Every responsibility was on my dad, and we all had to adapt.”
matters is the end. There’s a brighter future ahead, so keep chasing it. There will be obstacles, but each challenge you overcome brings elevation. Just keep going."
"If God upgrades me, I have plans for each level of my life. One thing I’m passionate about is influence — showing people that everything is possible. You can achieve your dreams, and you are more than what you are now. What you see today doesn’t define your future; what truly
"Fast forward to after deleting everything, I needed to clear my mind, so I opened Instagram to watch some videos and distract myself. I came across a post about the bamboo tree and how it takes time to grow but eventually skyrockets. The person in the video said he wanted to
share the message with anyone who needed to hear it. Then I saw a post from actor Kunle Remi, showing a picture from his days before fame, highlighting the menial jobs he did. It hit me that God didn’t want me to quit. From that moment, everything changed — someone called me for
from another contest. When I got home, I checked my other phone and realized I had been receiving callbacks for auditions I had already missed. Frustrated and heartbroken, I deleted every song on my phone and decided to give up on music altogether."
"I am a singer, songwriter, and tech enthusiast. One of my darkest experiences happened about two years ago. I was chasing a breakthrough in music, entering competitions and hoping to gain recognition, but I kept facing rejection.
It got to a point where I told God that if music didn’t work out for me that year, I would quit. I had a chance to participate in a major competition, but I missed it due to some registration issues and my lack of persistence in following up. On top of that, I was turned down
"My number one advice is to always be nice. My friends can testify to this—you don’t always need money to be kind to people. It doesn’t take anything to be nice. Live in the moment, be kind, and be prayerful."
"I won’t say it was horrible, but at the end of the day, it’s what shaped my life. I’m not where I want to be in life, but that experience made me stronger. Having gone through it, I don’t think anything can faze me anymore. It shaped my life in a way I didn’t like.
"One remarkable experience I had growing up was staying with my uncle. It wasn’t a smooth experience; it felt like a constant back and forth. Even though we were related, I lived as though we weren’t. It’s an experience I will never forget in my life.
"You can’t do life alone. You need to have friends—you just can’t do life alone. It’s not possible. Try as much as possible to be a giver and not just a receiver. Lastly, go all out. Love as much as you can without holding back, and be a very present friend."
and every language, the kind of love I would love to be loved with. She’s been there to fill the gap, and I pray that God will continue to grant her good health and long life so she can keep pampering me—until I get to that stage where I can return it in multiple folds."
"Okay, that’s a tricky question. I’m my dad’s favorite, but I love my mum the most. I mean, if I don’t brag about my mum, then who will? She’s my bragging right. For the past few years that I’ve been single, my mum has shown off and shown out. She has shown me, in all ways
February 14. My friend really tried—he showed up at my house at exactly 11:45 just so he could give me a Valentine’s gift, so I wouldn’t feel left out. It felt so sweet that someone was so thoughtful.”
“So many remarkable experiences, and I'll just pick one and speak on that. It was Valentine's Day. I have a friend who knows how single to stupor I am, and on February 13, he was busy with work. He's just a platonic friend. He knew he wouldn’t have time for us to hang out on
even the unloving—and at the end of the day, they will be the ones fighting for you, even where you least expect it. I don’t want to, but my husband is the number one person I love. I love and cherish him. But my boys are number one."
"I love two people the most. In fact, I love so many people. Love is love, and love is patient. Like I said earlier, when you're patient with either your spouse... love is patient, love is kind. That's the way I see love. When you're patient with anybody, you will love whoever—
