ENOUGH!!!



Enough! Of taking from us forcefully
Enough! Of trying to silence us
Enough! Of trying to make us the victims
Enough of turning the tables when we cry out.

When we walk the streets at night
We have to look over our shoulder
When we are in our hotel rooms
We have to be wary of intruders
When we voice out
We are silenced forcefully.

Enough of raping us women!
Enough of sexist comments!
Enough of lecherous lecturers!
Enough of wolves in sheep clothing!
Enough of shaming the victim.

We are tired of being intimidated to silence
We are tired of feeling unsafe where we should be safe
We are tired of second guessing ourselves
We are tired of being misunderstood
We are tired of a system that enables you
We are tired of being RAPED!!!

My thoughts are all over the place and I know I had to express myself in the best way I know how to. My heart is heavy and the pain of what we go through cannot be ignored any longer.
I sincerely hope our voices will continue to rise for the right things and we will continue to stand for each other.

I Did Not Kill My Mother!!!

'So my children can not kill me' I don't know whose Mum never said this. It's even sweeter when its said in Yoruba. For real though! That's how I felt tonight. This post is a testimony and a recount of the antics of Mr 4. If 'Drive' was a person, it would bear his name. Or even 'Persistence'. Photo credit @pexels.com Some mornings ago, I told the boys if they follow me to the bathroom immediately, I will let them watch something on my phone for a bit. Even though I was still pressing my phone and not ready to get up. This is a tactic that always works and allows me have peace for a bit. Lol. Judge not! We all have days like this. Before long we noticed Mr 4 was no longer in the room, we found him in the bathroom already with his bathing bowl, sponge and soap making a lather and splashing suds everywhere. Fast forward to last night, hubby went out and brought suya along. I don't remember telling this boy anything about bath...

The Power Of A Beam

Today is Date night with the absolute love of my life and I am so excited. It's been a while we went out alone what with having two kids and no help, its being mission impossible but this weekend my sister is home from Uni and she looks forward to spending time with the kids. By 4pm I had completed all my tasks for the day at work and I was packed and ready to go. I was even contemplating going to meet my line manager if I could be allowed to leave 1 hour early 😂😂. We were going to this restaurant I and hubby had heard so much about from our friends and I wanted to take my time so I could look my best. Femi one of hubby's friends had gone to celebrate his girlfriends birthday there and he had only good things to say about them. Meanwhile the girlfriend turned fiance that night with a dazzling huge rock on her finger. Femis' fiance told her sisters about the oh so amazing place where she was proposed to and so they planned a family dinner, needless to say their experience...

"Stay With Me" says The Lord.

I will stay with you Lord I will trust in you  I will hope in you only To perform your word I will stay with you Lord Even when it looks weird And things may look awry I will not be dismayed I will stay with you Lord It's not laziness Nor is it procrastination  Your plan is perfect I will stay with you Lord I will only go where you lead I am tired of shooting blanks I will not write that Linkedin post if you don't lead it You have the best plans Plans of good always So I will stay with you To know your plans I will stay with you Lord Even when it does not make sense Even when I may look crazy Staying with you is worth it I will stay with you Lord You alone satisfy my soul You alone are my desire You alone do I long for. I miss these deep writings, where I can express myself to God without cover or performance.
