A little girl in Boston went home one day and asked her Nigerian mother if she could change her name to Zoe.
Nobody at school could say Uzoamaka.
Her mother was cooking. She didn't even turn around.
"If they can learn to say Tchaikovsky, Michelangelo, and Dostoyevsky, they can learn to say Uzoamaka."
That girl kept her name.
Then she went to Hollywood and won three Emmy Awards.
And now the whole world knows exactly how to say Uzoamaka Aduba.
Your name is not a burden. It's a prophecy.

I love watching little kids just live life, have fun and stay happy in this wicked world.
Yet in my darling country,
2year olds and 3year olds are currently languishing in a terrorist cave while the government does absolutely nothing.

My father gave me ₦100,000 the day I graduated.
Then he said something strange.
"Spend every kobo before midnight."
I thought he was joking.
He wasn't.

Referred me for an head of marketing role for a fintech brand last week.
I'm still in shocked. How much growth has happened in my life.
I got a promotion at work last month.
I've kept it to myself because it's both big news and a huge responsibility.
I'm incredibly grateful to God that I've never had to experience being passed over for a promotion, especially after hearing so many stories from people who have.
I could complain about how busy work has been lately and how that has kept me from showing up here as often, but I'm genuinely grateful for the privilege of having work that keeps me busy.
There is so much I could say, but today I simply want to say thank you to God and to everyone who has supported, encouraged, and cheered me on along the way.
Congratulations to me, and congratulations to all of us by extension. ❤️🥂
If you remove my wife from my life this past 72 hours, I fit kpeme.
We have been moving houses and everywhere is so scattered like mad but once I ask “where is my blue boxers with duduke painting”, she will go straight to the point. “Uhmmmn, it should be in the yellow bag beside the bed”. What of my green comb with black tattoo? “It is inside the black box on the shelf”.
Women actually own the home. I feel like an alien. With how scattered and overwhelming my life is, she still has every detail in her head. Obirin 🙌
