Take Two Chocolates

Hello Fams… How has it been? This is my first post in the month of June. I am excited for quite a number of reasons, you can’t imagine. But there is something that is bugging me…  Lemme go straight.

A senior colleague of mine just returned from vacation abroad. Now, on the day she resumed we were all excited, welcoming her like Christiano Ronaldo returning back after the Champions league victory…

On Resumption - My Happy Sad Face

The last time, I talked about vacations, the fact that I went on a vacation and the importance of going on one. It’s been more than a week now since I got back to work and I resumed with the right spirit except for a hurting feet.

Vacation - Finally Over

Hello friends… I have been on a vacation of some sort for some time – about two weeks now. Those that follow me on Instagram (@egwumba01) would have noticed. I decided to spend the vacation not in Dubai or in Jamaica…lol. I decided to spend it in Eastern Nigeria. Yes, I crossed the Niger bridge. Yes, I went back home and to some other places - Awka, Owerri, Oguta, Onitsha, Orlu. Heheheeee...

Dem Send You?

It's been a while since my last post, and I am wondering why? Sometimes it feels like I am already giving up on blogging or maybe I am giving up on myself, depending on the way you look at it shaaa. Hmmm… I refuse to do this to myself right now (shake the anxiety off).

Yaaaaay! A lot has happened and is happening with me. There is a lot I would like to blog about, but I’ll be brief on this one.

My Lengthening Lent

Since the 1^st of March, the Lenten season began. In Christendom, Lenten season is that period of 40 days where Christians are encouraged to observe sober reflection and adopt positive lifestyles in preparation for Easter, which marks the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This period of 40 days helps us purge ourselves by taking up lifestyles that should/would make us better persons in every ramification.

The church (don’t ask me which church o) teaches us that the cardinal pillars during the Lenten period is Fasting, Prayer and Almsgiving. Thinking about this lately and discovered that it could have been anything, but anything has been summarised in to these 3 basic christian works. I would love to call them “Works of Faith”.

Happy Birthday to Moi

I am a day older today. I remember this day; last year… it feels just like yesterday. I spent the day with this set of people (colleagues and Friends); they made my birthday very memorable for me. I remember how they came together and prayed for me, ate my cake and drinks, sang together and snapped some pictures together. That was 2016.

I Walk for Cancer Prevention

“4^th of February is world cancer day and I would be going on a walk for cancer prevention that would take place at Muri Okunola Park, Victoria Island, Lagos... join us naa” she said to me. This was about 10PM, a day before the scheduled event.

Who gives you an impromptu notification or invite like this and expect you to show up. Most times, such invites are just to fulfill all righteousness – "let it not be like I did not tell him". I slept over the information and by morning around 5:00AM when I woke up, I made up my mind to attend. So I got up and prepared. Some friends accused me for not informing them about the event, I am sure by the time they read this, they will understand.

My Girlfriend is not my Best Friend

I have had this friend for over two years now and I can say that over the years, we have grown to know ourselves so well that I can boast of her as my best friend.

Best friend?
