1 minute, please?

colors get us fucked up sometimes. Why black is underrated.

In the audio attached to this, a friend who has known me long enough said: never met anyone so selflessly pure in my life, trust me. You have no bad energy coming off of you. Like, none whatsoever. And I have met people nigga. I don't know how your parents raised you, but they did a really good job. — Nalin Sharma those words struck me deeply. taking this moment to celebrate my parents. They may n...

I have this virtual basketball space where I hang out on the internet with other warriors’ fans to discuss basketball. But what ends up happening is, it usually ends up being about deep meaningful conversations. Today’s episode features Rich, who is also the founder of that virtual basketball space, which is also one of the biggest warriors virtual fan bases with over 169k YouTube subscribers, 3k...

A friend (Dare) posted his frustration on WhatsApp Status saying: Procastination is a bitch, because… Why did it take me less than ten minutes to do something that I procastinated for two weeks? It’s….It’s a bitch, really. And I thought to myself, yes, it’s a bitch because it makes you do stuff you don’t even want to do. Like doom scrolling on TikTok when there’s an undone assignment and the deadl...

so this nigga whose voice you're hearing is actually a close friend, and he's one of those people that you don't even expect to distill such wisdom. i had no choice but to record this part of the conversation and share it. I feel it’s something we can all benefit from. a man that leaves the 99 to chase the ONE. Knowing fully well that ONE vessel can be so damaged that sometimes he uses them regard...

The dad is the type of Christian I’m striving to become. One that isn’t afraid to be asked questions, also to question, and understanding that It's okay not to have all the answers. My walk with God has been as slow as a snail but I rather walk my walk than become a pawn in the hand of the religious interpretations of people. Just like the dad letting the son know God the most natural way and not...

I always need friends like this because they give me gist that I end up using as material for writing. Like this one: https://jollofwrite.substack.com/p/happy-international-womens-day There are many things that people can hate in this world, but gist is NOT one of them. Everybody wants to know what's going on with this person ABC, every single person wants to know what's the latest news about pers...

one day in 2020, I ordered a ride going to church. got into the ride, and sat at the front because I hate my riders feeling small by sitting at the back. Usually, I sit in my rides without saying a word till I get to my destination. typical scenario: ME: *enters ride* ME: good, whatever-the-time-of-day-is Rider: hi bro ME: *quiet the entire trip* *reaches destination* Me: thanks Rider: you’re welc...

this lady’s heart cry is so loud—it would literally cause your heart and ears to bleed till you hit your truth. It’s that good 1-minute podcast had to bend the 1-minute rule for it. 🥹

thankfully, I’m not writing this from my cell block cos I was found not guilty and all charges have been dropped. But to think that things could have gone south. like: what if I didn’t have these people to thank for convincing the judge I’ve been a good boy? (https://jollofwrite.substack.com/p/coming-soon) you’ll probably never hear from me again and think I broke up with you without saying a word...

“I feel sometimes we may be working, doing our best, and we may not be feeling our best, or we might not feel appreciated or we might start to doubt ourselves—if it’s worth it or if we’re good enough” — Ridah, 2021 (after 30 mins of doubting if her UI/UX skills would ever get better). Here’s the post that made her make such statement: https://jollofwrite.substack.com/p/1-minute-please-you-made-me-...

1 thing I’ll always do as much as I breathe is showcasing my foodie-readers who leave reviews. It’s the least I can do for patronizing my FREE Jollof-Write every week. But don’t eat alone. Share this podcast with a friend today! Thanks Okiki. Ps: the write up she talked about: https://jollofwrite.substack.com/p/job-forms-annoy-me Back to you. Let me know if you also feel the same way when you read...

If you guessed my woman? You’re on point 👍🏽 If there’s anything I’m sure of doing with my life other than being with this woman—it’s chasing a career in writing. To brag (I know I’m supposed to say “not to brag”) — I’ve picked up this writing art faster than my imagination. And now I fart (cos it’s bad for my system) when I see writing of people I used to look up to. I now understand that people...
