Rejection, Rewards & Rest
Nobody likes rejection, whether from a potential job, a current job or a community, friends etc., the list is endless, but the truth is that it happens every day.
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: Sunrise - I

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?
Using Faith as a Compass - My First Podcast Feature
Thank you to the guys at BYLU Campaign for inviting me on their podcast while on vacation in America. I was invited to the show following a conversation of conversations with Daniel (co-founder of BYLU) to discuss my journey, how and why I’m in Dubai and how faith has played an important role in my decision making.
Thirty, Thriving and Thankful.
From the moment we turn 20 we start counting how many years away we are from 30 and it is often that people dread turning 30, I am not one of these people. I’m thirty and thankful!
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.
