Create the atmosphere you need and the rain you deserve will fall


Everything in life is built with a structure 

Sometimes, the structure is people

Doing it alone and doing it on your own isn't the same thing

You can do it on your own but you mustn't do it alone

If not having any friends is your excuse

Then whose fault is that?

Most people believe they are not social or friendly enough to make friends

But they have people they they chat and laugh with online

They stay up all night, chatting and socializing, flirting and fraternizing 

Nobody is really alone, we are just lonely 

The truth is, we attract who and what we are

But... We can attract who we want to become even better

It all boils down to creating the right space that such people can exist comfortably in

Someone said,  create heaven and angels will come... Create hell,  you'll only have the devil and his demons 

I needed friends who thought and reasoned like me

Because the life of a writer can sometimes be lonely and quiet

So I needed friends like me who were writers...

Friends who understood words and won't freak out when suddenly in the middle of a conversation, I bring out my pen and jotter and create with words

I didn't put up an 'ad' asking for them, I simply started writing stories, articles and experiences on my timeline, even went ahead to upload my works on other writers group I joined

It didn't take long, some amazing friends who think and write like me came knocking 

I created the atmosphere and they came.

Are you creating the right atmosphere to attract the kind of friends you need?

Or you are just living in another person's box, wishing you could break out!

Firstly, you need to recognize that you are in a box

Next, you need to visualize where you are going to

You can't break out of what you don't know, and you can't break out to where you don't know

You won't have a type, if you don't know the type of friends you need. 

Create the atmosphere you need, then the rain you deserve will fall.

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 ...
