Whatever your hands find to do is more than enough for the season you are currently in so do it well, but don’t be satisfied with doing what you have well, be committed to building yourself as well because most of the time, the knowledge you need to do what you do now is not enough for what the future requires. You’ve used your past to prepare for now, use your now to prepare for a future you...
It is important to dream, it is more important to stay awake while you dream because going to sleep might present you a semblance of your dream, but being awake will definitely keep you moving towards the dream. I am awake, and still walking towards the dreams I had awake. #StayWoke
GETTING A JOB IS A JOB – Chapter2 Getting a job is indeed a job that requires years of learning and honing of skills to near perfection, but the job indeed is not the job, it is the preparation, the journey to the destination where an opportunity is never unexpected. – Abidemi Babaolowo Oderinlo The first time I learnt that “getting a job is a job” was in 2010 during our very own NYSC...
True Yahoo! Stories… (UNLEASHED) Apparently, I have been away from here for a couple of weeks now because of that thing they call “Mental Block” or should I call it “Early Life Crisis”? (I’m still very young biko!). I’ve actually been in a secondary purdah trying to figure out a whole lot of me, and how to become a better me lately, a whole world of things creating a whole level of shink in...
True Yahoo! Stories… (Beyond borders) After so many failed attempt attempts to gain admission into UNILAG (even before I wrote that GCE that led to my becoming a Yahoo!

The only thing I probably do at home is wake up in the morning, do my assigned chores, take my bath...
HOW I BECAME A YAHOO! BOY (The Yahoo! Boy) – Part 4 Owning or having a phone in 2001 was luxury, but it wasn’t when compared to having an email account. An email account was more like a global identity but as an Ipaja that was ambitious, I had one when I couldn’t even afford having a one-minute call spill into the next at a call centre because it was billed per-minute, not to now imagine a SIM of...
HOW I BECAME A YAHOO! BOY (The Girl) – Part 3 My becoming a Yahoo! Boy was never planned, it just happened and It was all about her in the beginning, because the moment she came along, she was like the queen bee and everything just happened because of her. Eniola was not the regular average kinda girl you know, she was special in ways you can’t definitely put your fingers on, she was just too...
HOW I BECAME A YAHOO! BOY (The Gang) – Part 2 Emmanuel Oshiame is arguably one of the best humans to ever walk the face of this earth. He lived freely, cared truly, loved deeply, held onto nothing even when it hurts and his loyalty to anyone that was a part of his life was never in doubt. He was a troublesome child with no troubles of his own to worry about and to say the least, he lived...
