Stop Sharing The Grace, Start Making It!


I don't know who need to hear this, but it's time someone said it!

Nobody tells the Grass to Grave story

I didn't say Grace...I said GRAVE!!!

Meanwhile, that's the most lived story everyone can identify with!

That's the story that happens everyday

But nobody tells it because it's not inspiring

We are only concerned with the Grass to Grace story

We can't be bothered with Grass to Grave

Yet, everyday people go from Grass to Grave, like clockwork

Grass to Grave is more prevalent in life, yet nobody tells it because nobody wants a depressing story

We all want a hero, a role model

We all want a Grass to Grace story so we tell one and pretend the other doesn't exist

Everyone loves a good come back story

And they lived happily ever after is much sweeter than, after a few years they divorced or the husband killed the wife and remarried.

We only want...

How the poor man one day after working so hard, became rich

How the poor widow finally got lucky or blessed and travelled to Canada, now she owns companies and properties

We forget that, for everyone that moves from street to castle, a thousand more goes from street to Grave!!!

Nobody cares if you haven't eaten since yesterday until you are well fed.

Nobody want to hear about your poverty until you are rich

The only time your problems are interesting is when they are solved.

Quit begging and asking for help

Nobody will help you until you help yourself!!!

The only party people will love and attend is a birthday party

Not a pity-party or sympathy(pun intended)

We all want a good Grass to Grace story because it gives us hope and faith in the face of the stark reality, that we too may be lucky to share in the grace.

But I've got news for you...

You don't need Grace to escape the Grass, sometimes all you need is a knife to cut the damn Grass yourself!!!

Let's share the grace...

If you can't...Grit, Grind and make your own damn grace!!!!

Fuck Grace, I choose Grit and Grind any day!!!

Stop Sharing the Grace, start Making it!!!

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 ...
