You guysssssss I can’t believe I sat through 6 season of How to Get Away with Murder, I’m not done though but I’m pretty close to done Here’s one crazy twist that happened that I can’t just get over, so background story; My woman, Annalise Keating spent the past 3 years covering her students murders, being a really good lawyer, she helped them get away with the impulsive silly murders they committed, because she didn’t want them to go to jail, you get right? Now the whole thing blows over, and the FBI catches wind of these murders but no concrete evidence because she has had almost everything buried, however she’s the one connection with every single murder, and hence they came up with a conspiracy to tie everything to her. And omor, I’d be lying if I said I was surprised that the so-called students she took as her kids turned on her, to save their asses, because that’s just the human thing to do. Not everybody is Annalise Keating Initially I was so pissed at them for taking a deal tha...

Merry New Month.

  Did you know today is April 1st? Yes o, April Fool’s Day. A few years ago, this day used to be one of the most unserious days of the year. People would wake up with mischief in their spirit, ready to prank their friends, shout “APRIL FOOL!” and laugh like nothing else mattered. There'll be people planning, their prank for a year, or even months, the disappointment when they don't fall for it and the absolute joy when they do. My favourite prank has got to be that seemingly love letter that starts off as "There's something I've been meaning to ask you", stalls for a long time talking about everything else and ends with something silly like "how much is cabin biscuit in your age", top notch epic.  Everybody used to catch cruise. But now, look around. Everywhere is just quiet. No pranks. No silly jokes. No “I’m relocating tomorrow” message. No fake engagement announcement. Nothing. Everybody is just walking around like “life don serious pass April foo...

Sometimes, life teaches you a lesson in the most painful way. Not because something is impossible, but because you simply didn’t prepare enough. One thing I’ve come to realize is this: just because something worked once, doesn’t mean it will work again. You know that feeling when you escape a situation and you’re like, “Wow, I survived”? And instead of learning from it, you repeat the same mistake because you think the outcome will still favour you. That’s exactly how many people treat preparation. You manage to pass one time with last minute efforts, and suddenly you start believing that last minute is your “method.” But the truth is, the first time wasn’t strategy. It was grace. And expecting grace to keep covering laziness is not faith, it’s taking advantage. Know what's better? Consistency Because the pain of knowing you could have done better is one of the worst kinds of pain. Not because you failed, but because you know the result didn’t match your potential. So if you’re ent...

CHRONICLES OF LADY AVA: THIS THING CALLED SALVATION

Image
Long time, no Ava abi? Let’s gooooo! Me and Ava were having a conversation some days ago, and I casually mentioned that I’ve never spoken in tongues before. This girl was genuinely shocked. “Favour, seriously??” And I’m like, “Yeah na… what’s up?” Then she said something that made me laugh, because it sounded so dramatic. She said, and I quote: “It’s still a mystery to me how I’m able to speak in tongues and some people like you can’t, with all my bad thoughts.” And I just started laughing because… people like me ke? But honestly, her statement is the reality of many believers. A lot of us don’t feel worthy of salvation, or worthy of the gifts of the Spirit, so we assume that if we’re not “holy enough” or “clean enough,” God won’t use us or bless us. But this is what I told Ava. The thing about gifts is that you don’t have to deserve them before you receive them. A gift is not something you earn, it’s something you’re given. And spiritual gifts are not rewards for good beha...

TO BE A WRITER… (7)

Image
Funny how I started this series as something simple, and ended up unravelling parts of me, and what I feel about writing. This series has made me realise something, being a writer is not just about writing, it is about everything that happens before the writing even begins. It is about the becoming.  In this series, we've gone over;  To be a writer is to bleed on paper, yes, but it is also to heal on paper. It is to take what could have destroyed you and turn it into something that makes sense, something that speaks, something that lives. It is to pour your anger into words instead of into people, to turn your pain into poetry, and your confusion into clarity. To be a writer is also to be misunderstood. People assume writing is writing, that a writer can write anything, anytime, anyhow, but the truth is that writing has niches, styles, voices, and growth. And the real beauty is not in sounding like everyone else, but in sounding like yourself, even when you are try...

TO BE A WRITER… (6)

To be a writer is to become... And I don’t mean become in the motivational speaker way, I mean the real thing, the gradual, everyday transformation into the kind of person that writing naturally flows from. Because writing is not just an action, it is a product, a product of who you are becoming. Sometimes people ask me, “Favour, how do you write? What are your steps?” And honestly, I never know what to say. Not because I’m trying to gatekeep, but because I didn’t exactly follow a step by step process. I didn’t sit down one day and say, “Okay, step one brainstorm, step two outline, step three write.”  No. I became first. Then writing started coming out of me like something that had always been there, like software that finally finished installing, and once it installed, boom, I could write. That is the truth about writing, it doesn’t start with your fingers, it doesn’t even start with your pen, it starts with the becoming. There’s this popular quote that says, “You don’...

TO BE A WRITER… (5)

There’s a way a writer lives. And I don’t mean the aesthetic. Not the coffee, not the books, not the “soft life writer” vibe people post on Instagram. I mean the actual lifestyle. The one that happens quietly. The one that happens in the mind, in the heart, in the way you move through life. Because writing isn’t just what I do. It is who I am. It is the way I process the world. Sometimes, I’ll be in a place and everyone is present, laughing, gist-ing, living normally… but my mind is somewhere else, collecting details. I’m watching the way someone’s eyes change when they mention a name. I’m noticing how somebody smiles but their voice doesn’t match it. I’m hearing words, but I’m also hearing what is not being said. And I don’t even do it on purpose. It’s just the way my mind works. To be a writer is to never fully rest. Even in moments that seem ordinary, something in you is always paying attention. Your heart is always taking notes, your brain is always recording, your spirit is always...
