If one door closes, don't wait for another to open...Build a house!


We are not nearly as important as we think we are.

You need to understand this.

Live for your own damn happiness.

Not the validation or opinions of your neighbors or extended family...hell, not even from strangers.

People don’t care about you as much as you believe they do.

They are only curious....for a while.

They might gossip behind your back or to your hearing.

Not because you are too important.

But because they have nothing exciting or interesting in their lives to talk about.

Trust me on this...

They don’t wake up in the morning, thinking of you, your marriage and your future.

They are concerned with their own life.

You will trend o but las las you will expire in their mind and they will move on.

You are just a product they don't need with an expiry date in the minds of people.

So they will window shop you

Until their interest wanes or they see another more interesting me.

So knowing this, why then do you place people’s opinions over your present reality and experience?

Not everyone can or should afford your product.

Because you are a fucking first-class brand.

So second class citizens can and will never afford you.

You are not for everyone.

Learn to live in the miracle of your situation.

Sometimes, that separation is a miracle.

If one door closes, don't look for a spare key or a hammer

Let it close!!!

You probably don't need another door to open.

You need to build a fucking house.

And own all the damn doors in the building!!!

So don't go knocking on doors.

Let them come knocking on yours.

It's up to you now to choose who you let in.

I am not afraid of the storm Facing it alone isn't something I would lose sleep over But I want to conquer with you Set anarchy to never after Bring liberty to forever more Alone we are survivors, caging the fiercest waves Swimming the deepest seas But, hand in hand we would drown the ocean You and I, we would drink the rivers dry And spit out islands Kingdavid Chinaeke Ofunne Authorpreneur

Solomon's Lair!

Rated 18 Solomon's lair  I almost refused to go for the birthday party this year. Solomon always hosted a party every year, and as usual, I always gave the opening speech and acted as the MC too. I hated the drama and fake smiles all around. Each year, new faces present, old faces absent. New Friends present, Old friends lost, only me stagnant. I was always present as the best friend, the loyal soldier, meanwhile I was notoriously known for not celebrating my own birthday. It was so bad that most of my friends didn't even know my date of birth, just my age. Yes, it was that bad! It was an exhausting exercise for me. The cake and speeches, by God I hated the hypocrisy. So this year I swore to him by the old gods and new, that I wasn't gonna be in the spotlight of his special day. I just wanted to drink and chill quietly in solitude. Surprisingly, without any fuss, he obliged me. ''Obi is now a man o'' I smiled. ...

Riotous Love

I have always found Tony, my boyfriend, fascinating His write-ups and rants about bad governance and patriarchy got me wet and awestruck every single time I visited his timeline  Whenever he wrote a piece on Facebook and Twitter, he got thousands of likes and comments I always read every comment, especially from women who were mesmerized by his writing prowess I was once part of such women until I decided to shoot my shot, and, like cupid, I hit him straight in the heart A simple "Hello, I've read and enjoyed all your stories, maybe you could write ours someday, hope I'm not overreaching?" I had to drink almost a full bottle of bailey's to find courage for that stunt, and today, we are celebrating 8 months of the best love story ever. He was my Mr. Perfect, everything I could ever ask for and more It wasn't surprising when he asked me to join him and go for the peaceful protest here in Lagos, and like a love-struck puppy, quickly I jumped up and said yes That ...
