NoTable Talk

In a lot of the things I am hoping for and looking forward to, I have found myself encountering situations that make those things impossible. Those situations then cause me to have feelings of fear, worry, and doubt and in the past I have succumbed to those feeling with the things I feared eventually being my reality. I am learning now to keep my eyes fixed on the goal and have that be an antidote...

When I was struggling in college in Nigeria, my circle of close friends had very similar struggles educationally. We were also involved in the same distractions and didn't seem to have a clear plan or willingness to change the downward course of our lives for the better. Your company is a key instrument in shaping your perspective. Perspective is a particular attitude toward or way of regardin...

After school tutors (popularly known in Nigeria as "Lesson Teachers") really helped keep me accountable with fulfilling my responsibilities in school. They kept me on my toes and pushed me out of my comfort zone, which helped me maximize my potential and reap the positive benefit of very impressive grades. I use the impact they had on me to highlight some benefits of having an accountabi...

Reminiscing about my college experience in Nigeria reminds me of the amazing parents that I am blessed with. In this episode I express my appreciation to them and other parents who at every turn made a conscious effort to show their children unwavering support, especially when inconvenient.

Story time! In this episode I give some detail to some challenges I have faced academically and the lessons that I took away from them that informed changes that I made moving forward. I hope this encourages you to see that now is the best time to make the adjustments you need to make to recover from you lapses. If you have let things get too far like I did with dire consequences to show for it, b...

I have recently been confronted with some of my frailties and inadequacies and it's been a very humbling experience. It all came from a place of humbling myself before God and seeing myself in the place of who I really am...a man...a man that is just being helped by God. We could get so used to seeing the world through our eyes and get carried away with being the first person, and we forget th...

In this episode I kick off banter on my second table and dive into the topic of vulnerability. I could say that breaking my tables has introduced me to a level of vulnerability that I had never otherwise explored and I now more than ever see the need to be vulnerable as human beings. When you are vulnerable, you give permission for self diagnosis towards improvement and it has tremendous effects o...

On this episode , I break the last legs of my first table. I have to say that I have enjoyed this journey of breaking my table. It's given me a lot of room for objective introspection and increasing self awareness. I am looking forward to addressing many more tables!

I get discouraged. I struggle to stay committed to the process. I fall off sometimes. In this episode I continue to break my first table, highlighting mindsets I have imbibed to produce actionable results in staying the course towards my end goal.

This episode is the beginning of an exciting and slightly nerve-wrecking journey as I take on the introspective excessive of breaking my own tables. As I explore this first table, the goal is to not just talk about my business for the sake of it, but to recognize with you or someone you may know.

In this episode, Otnba shares his thoughts on how your actions are a reflection of your passion. He urges us to reflect on where our passions lie, using our actions to confirm or deny the authenticity of what we profess the passions to be.

We often find our feelings hinged on the feelings of the people we love. Their happiness is our happiness, but we also often share their pain and frustrations. In this episode Otnba shares his thoughts on having an independent source of happiness.

In this episode I talk about why you should have a vision, why you should live by your vision, and what that does for you. This transformative episode would do one of two things for you...encourage you to get on the right (beneficial) course for your life, or remind you why the course you are on is the right (beneficial) one. You would see reason for every decision you make and have confidence tha...

As we exist in a world with unfettered access to information and content, there is a higher demand to be conscious of the nature and amount of content we consume. Just like when faced with an open bar, we have to respect our body's tolerance to alcohol and most importantly not feel the need to have to have a drink just because it is available for free and in limitless quantity. Writers: Oluwat...

Don’t become your problems. Don’t let them be written all over your face. You’re facing certain problems, but they are not you. When they become you, they've overcome you and they've won. The goal is to overcome your problems. Put on a smile, it looks good on you, and you’re better looking anyway ;)

'faff about'(Phrasal verb) If you say that someone is faffing about or faffing around, you mean that they are doing things in a disorganized way and not achieving very much. Writers: Oluwatobiloba Ojo, Olukorede Megbope

Just like most of the past episodes, this one came from a place of personal introspection. In the anchor bible passage (John 9) the literal blindness of a man who was even healed by Jesus was placed in comparison with the figurative blindness of the Pharisees and religious leaders who were too blind to realize (a little pun intended lol). Owning up to your blindness comes with the necessity to not...

Otnba encourages us to strive to add value in our different spheres of life by being significant and important. He explores two core spheres of life (being our spiritual Life and our social life), and discusses how we could be valuable, dangers of not staying valuable, as well as being aware of the value that others being into our lives.

Otnba encourages us to maximize the resources available to us by adhering to sound guidance.

Otnba paints a scenario that highlights the need for us to exercise wisdom in our acts of goodwill and also the importance of seeking clarity when one finds themselves in confusing (in this case romantic) circumstances. He offers suggestions on how to seek clarity in the most expedient way as well as how to deal with the reality of your situation...especially if it is a reality that one wouldn&#39...

When you considers the humanity of others in the same vein you have accepted yours, there tends to be more room for grace. It not only makes our existence much more pleasurable without strife, it promotes more efficient human growth. Let's give each other an appropriate measure of grace...especially yourself. Matthew 7:5 (KJV Version)"Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; a...

Otnba reacts to a video by Pastor Oge (IG: pst_oge) where he talks about consistency over intensity. He emphasizes the importance of consistency and labels it as the "how" to achieve your goal, which is the "what".

In this episode, Otunba draws inspiration from a social media post and talks about the importance of watering your flowers. As important as it is for us to consciously give people their flowers while they are alive, it is also as important for the recipient to tend to those flowers efficiently to promote healthy organic growth.
