Oru Mu: Sunrise - II
The week seems to be getting worse for Bola, bad news after bad news, she even concludes that she's had a part to play, after all it's always been her fault, right?
Bola is tired physically, mentally and spiritually and now, with everything going on she feels like God has her on a wild goose-chase around Lagos. She hates that the 'chase' has brought her back to the home where all her troubles started.
Will it ever end?
Oru Mu is the Yoruba phrase for “it’s hot” - the heat of Midday has passed and the dimness of the Sun Setting has overwhelmed Bola, will she ever get to rest to see the Sunrise?

Oru Mu: Sunset
It’s been a crazy week for Bola! First, her super star friend, Sharon shows up with a revelation, followed by her ‘moment’ with Prophet Godwin. It doesn’t help that Duro isn’t saying the right things either - so she thinks.
Bola doesn’t know what to make of the past few days, but she can’t help but feel like more is coming. Truthfully, Bola doesn’t know how much more she can take.
The perfect life she envisioned for herself is crumbling right before her eyes, and it seems like everywhere she looks she is reminded of what she doesn’t have.
Oru Mu is the Yoruba phrase for “it’s hot” - however what will Bola do should the Sun eventually Set on her desires? Who will she run to when it gets dark?
Oru Mu: Midday
At the top of her game, the God-fearing Bola Ifetomi is the person everyone wants to know - she's connected and successful, all this despite her unfavourable upbringing. Not only is her career thriving, she’s been married to the best of the best - Duro Ifetomi, for five years. Bola has the perfect life, she has it all!
But Bola doesn't believe so - she thinks her life is incomplete and imperfect, how long must she wait? Just like her upbringing, everybody she knows has something she wants, it’s almost teasing.
Oru Mu is the Yoruba phrase for “it’s hot” - will Bola be able to withstand the sudden heat when her perfect life begins to show imperfect lines?
How far will Bola go to obtain what she wants most and at what cost?
Don't Pity Me Because I'm Single - RELOADED
One thing I’m ever so tired of is the belief that single people are incomplete. I don’t think that of myself and nobody else should.
Life for me is especially good right now.

You Have Nothing to Celebrate Because You're 28+ and Single...
Don't let anyone make you feel unaccomplished because you are single, BUT accomplish much as a single person. Make memories, gain experiences and much more! Be active in your “wait” especially by seeking God before all else, any journey with God is an amazing journey.
No New Friends
I've been in Dubai for exactly three months now! I wrote this [very honest] piece a few days ago because I was having a moment. I find regularly, that my moments always end with hope.
Three months later and I have concluded...
To know that nothing can surprise God is a celebration on its own.

I Started 2016 Feeling Overwhelmed
I knew I had to pray - both my heart and mind were racing and formulating thoughts at speeds I could not keep up with - so I headed to the shopping centre where I went to grab the coffee I was craving for, buy some socks I desperately needed, window shop like a baller and most importantly pray because it was necessary.
Don't Pity Me Because I'm Single
Singleness has for so long been considered a taboo after a certain age especially as a young woman. Understandably, people care and want the best for you, however there are times when their cares turn to worry causing one to feel pressurised - a very uncomfortable feeling. Both singleness and marriage are gifts from God.
Twenty Five
I turned the amazing age of 25, and to have that much life sitting under my belt, is somewhat hefty! I have to admit though, I don’t remember the last time I was so excited about a birthday like this one, I had no particular reason to be so excited but I was and I’m still excited at the fact that I am 25!
Given Away
It was a cold November evening in NYC after work when God asked me to give away something I needed, something I enjoyed using, something I benefited from. He taught me a lesson through the act of giving.
