  I have failed a lot in my life, as a matter of fact, as I speak with you from this exam hall, I write with a broken heart because no matter how much I succeed, the failures from all I don’t want to remember still taunt me.  There are days when I think life should be a bit kinder and more thoughtful towards me, but that'll be being an ungrateful charlatan. I sometimes wish my life were a bit simpler, but to hell with my excuses’s life isn’t a bed of roses, and it’ll deal with me accordingly.   Testipide Life isn’t a bed of roses, nor is it a garden of thorns; it’s the unraveling of daily struggles, wins, and conflict between choosing what’s wrong or right. Under the rain or in the sun, life goes on, transitioning from one phase to another. It’s nonstop, in my native Yoruba language , an adage goes, ‘ Ojo iku ni Ojo isimi’, which loosely translates to ‘ until our dying day, there’s no rest ’.   Life is sometimes peachy, other days, it is hazy, and I feel rea...

  Commencement: the end of one thing is the beginning of another. The day you end one phase of your life leads to a new unraveling- life goes on, and the camera never stops.  There are no rehearsals, and each moment serves as the opportunity to start again- what you fail to do today, you’ll eventually meet once again tomorrow; however, the test would be tougher and much harder than you can imagine. Don’t give up and never back down from whatever life brings your way; in this moment, we go through it and emerge successful.  Trips: Above and Beyond Get in there, take what is yours. This life is your own. 

  Every single day when I wake up, I give thanks to the Lord for the gift of a new day before staring at myself in the mirror and reminding myself that “ I am not where I want to be yet .” Be thankful, be graceful, but never forget that there is a light that we are in pursuit of, constantly. The battle between here and there is taking forever, and I hope I’m not simply meandering with the times. I hope I am doing all that I can, living truly and thoroughly through my potential, or I’m coasting through my existence. I hope I am becoming everything that God has designed me to be. I do not understand the struggle of each day, but it’s in my place to create a sense of purpose, belonging to an establishment, or creating one- it’s me against me. Every day, all day, the battle is within me. Adekunle Sunday-Fajana That’s just life; there’ll always be a war within myself. The feud for what’s wrong and what’s right, the resentment that comes from indecision, the anxiety that comes with v...

Fjizzle wakes up in the middle of the night and asks God to help him with the strength to make something of his life. With an aching heart, you can only be thankful for the privileges and grace that God has blessed you with. This article is coming up around 4:08am on Sunday morning, and I am  writing this piece in a shirt and a tie. Dressed up in a two-piece suit, I am fascinated by the epicureanism that surrounds me, with a glass of juice on the table, I chew my cookies along as I write about what hurts me the most. Life ought to be simple, worth living, nothing tedious, just the absolute embrace of all the beautiful things that God has bestowed upon us. Life As Fjizzle: Adekunle Sunday-Fajana In this moment, I am easily one of the happiest persons in the world- the trees, grass, and the grabbing of ass have made life interesting, life is what we make of it, and in this moment, I close my eyes to reminisce upon some of the most worthwhile highlights that my heart can reconne...

  In this article, the author will explain the importance of starting afresh. Each day brings us the opportunity to begin again, to start life from where we are and continue to pursue the objective of our individuality and seeking freedom, whatever that means to you. The average Nigerian youth is embarking on a journey that they simply do not understand. In higher institutions, they are only there simply because they want to either leave the house or make their parents proud. The Nigerian education system isn’t structured to properly aid in the development of young scholars who are trying to achieve the aims and objectives of their respective lives. At the tender age of 16 (which is the average age to round up secondary school), most students get admission into higher institution, while they are there, they are given courses that neither aligns with their strength and essence, hence, they spend the first quarter of their lives meandering through a quagmire of maze without proper ...

Until you spend some quality time with nature, you might not understand the languages of God's impeccable creation. The whispering of the trees and the allure of the waters as they flow. The world belongs to us, and it is our jurisdiction as humans to enjoy the beauty bestowed upon us by God. At the campfire site the other day, I inhaled some of the freshest air I have ever breathed in adulthood.  Adekunle Fajana (Documenting worthwhile moments)   On Saturday, March 8, my friend and   I , Asko Lippo, cruised down to a campfire site (which is called Nuotiopaikka in Finnish) in Espoo, Finland. The atmosphere was cozy, amiable, and conducive; every moment spent in front of the sea was worthwhile, as it was relaxing and soothing to the skin, simply put, it was therapeutic, and you'll experience it vicariously while staring at this page (that's my aim by the way).  This is the ideal weather for every individual. I recommend it for those who have spent time in harsh and t...
