A few years ago, a young professional I will call Tunde sat in my office exhausted, frustrated, and emotionally drained. On paper, he appeared successful. He had a good job, supportive friends, and a close-knit family. Yet he constantly felt overwhelmed. His phone never stopped ringing. Family members relied on him for emotional support, financial Read More…
By Friday evening, Mama Love’s Canteen and Bar looked like a refugee camp for weather survivors. All week, Lagos had been soaked. Rain had fallen with the kind of seriousness that makes every Lagosian suddenly become amateur hydrologist.

To make matters worse, Manchester Read More…

1 Peter 4:12–19 There are seasons in life when everything feels heavier than usual. The things you normally handle begin to drain you. A problem that once looked temporary suddenly stretches longer than expected. You pray, you endure, you try to stay hopeful—but inwardly, you are tired. And in a city like Lagos, pressure has Read More…
Several years ago, I had the pleasure of writing about the heartwarming feat of Oba Adedokun Omoniyi Abolarin, Aroyinkeye I, the Orangun of Oke-Ila, in establishing Abolarin College, the first free secondary school for the underprivileged in Nigeria. Today, products of that school have gone on to exceed the expectations of many people, and several Read More…
