Today, August 13, is my birthday.  I am thankful to God for the gift of life; I am alive, I am thriving, and grateful for the family, friends, and privileges that God has bestowed upon me.  Happy Birthday Champ, Adekunle Sunday-Fajana I take this moment not for granted because all things to me are beautiful in their time. Over the last year, I have visited some of the most beautiful cities in the world, met with some of the brightest minds, and enjoyed several sumptuous meals. Personally, I am in no position to complain; I can only stare at the clouds and applaud the creator for his benevolence towards me.  I know not what tomorrow would offer, but I am glad for what I have today. Bucket chicken All that I am and all I will ever be is who God has destined me to be. I hope I do not fail God, myself, my family, and my country. All I desire is to become the best version of myself each and every single moment. Life in itself is whatever we make of it; therefore, I am looking ...

Welcome to August, the month for kings and Queens. The ones who embody the essence of God’s upper-echelon creative designs; everything God created is impeccable, and I identify with it. The 8th month, when God conceived the ideologies of beauty and ethereal aura, was wired into the medulla oblongata of individuals born within this timeframe. God instilled in us the gift to mettle and succeed, the benevolence to aid humanity, the mantle of kingship to rule, the mindset to persevere and accentuate towards a level of prominence. August One: For Kings and Queens The month that gave us superstars such as the iconic Pop artiste, Michael Jackson, ex-USA president Barack Obama, Usain Bolt, Jason Momoa, the month God gave us people such as you and me.

 Today at the summer party, we had a great time. We grooved to good music and danced away the summer. This is one of the most exciting midnight events to be at, and it was a great time. grills A time to relax with family and friends, alongside connecting with new individuals who would inspire the help through the day, week, and eventually making a worthwhile, possible lifetime friendship and connection. This is what life is all about, at least, for now, let the stress out. Groove and gyrate with music produced by one of the best disc jockeys from our beloved Nigeria. Today at the summer party, which took place at Pikkukoski Beach, Oulunkylä, Helsinki, we went mountain climbing and skin dipping, creating beautiful memories that would reside at the back of our minds for as long as we can remember. Beautiful moments don’t come more than this. It was worth it since we don’t get to this every day. Live, laugh, and for those who have lovers, they are to have a genuine heart-to-heart ...

Music is a universal language. Everyone understands music and enjoys music; the average human listens to music more than they engage in conversations with their fellow human beings. We reside in an era where people spend more time on their cell phones, computers, and gadgets rather than discussing with their next-door neighbour. Nowadays, people prefer to block their ears with headphones, jamming Asake’s new album, Money , as they focus firmly on their laptop screen, writing code that would influence the next generation. Music is an integral part of our lives, and Bluetooth devices, especially headphones, have helped in propelling the affinity for it. On the buses, it is uncomfortable when someone plays music aloud; it shows a lack of empathy for those in the environment and disregard for those who are going on about their day. Hence, it is important to listen to music solemnly and enjoy the sound that is penetrating your eardrums. Unfortunately, some consequences come with blast...

Written by Peniel The Rice Story: Written by Peniel I pay attention to details a little too much. Today, I notice the few grains of rice left behind; those that didn’t make it into my stomach but ended up in the bin. Not because they weren’t important. Some grains never made it past the washing stage. Some were lost on the farm, carried away with the chaff. Some slipped to the ground while being measured and sold. Others survived every obstacle, endured every process, and finally fulfilled their purpose. The purpose of food is to be eaten, yet not every grain gets that privilege. So, I think of those grains as silent soldiers. They were part of the journey, part of the sacrifice, even if they never reached the destination. Their loss made room for others to make it through. Life is a lot like that. The place you stand today may not seem extraordinary, but it isn’t a coincidence. Many sacrifices, some visible, some forgotten, helped pave the way. Some people, opportunities...
