Sleeping in the Storm 

Have you always wondered how Jesus managed to sleep while a storm was raging? Do wonder if Jesus is asleep in your stormy days? Bottom line: Trust Him. If He's 'sleeping', go to sleep too cause He knows you won't be consumed. Rest.

The story of the birth of Christ began at the Garden of Eden...

Don't Man Up!

We understand that Men's mental health matter. We understand that they need to be heard, they need to be understood, they need to be loved and taken care of too. Men are not woods or stones that just need to be respected. They need us to cut them some slack and let them breathe. Support a man today.

Not Too Young

This was the first piece I sent to Champions Mindspark Radio Show hosted on Peace fm 90.5 in Jos, Plateau State. It gives me the motivation to keep going. January ended with this episode. Be reminded that you're not too young to be a champion.

Row Your Boat

That kindergarten rhyme was more than just a rhyme. It had different versions but I chose this one! You don't want to meet the crocodile in this piece. (smiles)

LIZZY

We love to judge. We feel righteous because it wasn't we caught in act or maybe we've classified every sin into different levels, and so our sin looks littler than the next person's. But we have no right. None. For all have sinned.

THE HUMBLE BIRTH(Christmas Special)

Imagine if Christ came to earth in this 21st Century in all His glory and power? I don't think He would come in form of a baby even. There won't be any need. This piece draws our attention to the reason for His humble birth.

My Bottle Man

The past doesn't just disappear. It finds sweet refuge in your mind especially when it's all cozily bottled up. It can stand in your way and become your monster. 
Break that bottle. Let the content run out. Expose it. Let it wash over you, yeah it all happened. Breathe and walk out of it's dark corners. It is only then that you'll be free. Otherwise, hold on to it like a stupid drunk and watch your past replay like your favorite song.

What's Next? 

"What's next?" comes with this subtle pressure that messes your mind. And when it's asked by friends and especially parents, it's even more stressful. Those two words hold a lot of expectations you fear you might not meet. Somehow, I just hold on to hope that I'll be fine eventually.

FREE

Dedicated to misfits and those who don't conform to the world nor to ideas that are not compatible with the freedom that God has given us through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

MORE

I've never wanted to settle for the ordinary. Not even the biggest ordinary. I should have added that the inspiration for this piece was this crazy idea that I don't want be a girlfriend. Just a girlfriend 😉. I want to be more than that.

Inspired

For my brother who said my future is brighter than he could ever think of his own. You are my brightest star!
