Greetings, young people. What’s your definition of Freedom? I’m not asking about the dictionary’s meaning or if you’ve read about it in books or seen it in movies. I’m asking, have you felt it? Have you tasted it? In this context, Freedom is the truth you speak without shrinking. It’s the wind that blows your […]
In winter, we bundle up, yearning for summer’s return. Come summer, we shield our eyes with glasses and shade our faces with hats, fleeing the very sun we once longed for. What’s the colour of our problem? That’s life, the concept of seasons and the contradictions we wear so naturally. We long for what’s absent, […]
Last Sunday’s Gospel brings to light a powerful and painful issue one that continues to echo through time, gender bias, as depicted in the scriptures ( John 8:3-11). We hear the story of a woman caught in adultery, brought before Jesus by a group of men, while the man involved is nowhere to be found. […]
Good morning, everyone. I want to ask you something simple but powerful: What’s your Story?

Only a single blink.With her eyes shut tight.In her quiet moment.In the stillness of her mind. Her reality begins to unravel.Her dream calls her by her name.The truth they never meant her to find.Finally saw her. Slowly, it overtook her mind.Unveiling the mystery inked in silence.The world she always prayed for. And she journeyed.The farther […]
“The swelling of the womb is not all that makes a mother” I heard this quote from a Nollywood movie I saw recently (Titled Broken Hallelujah) and it resonates with me. It defined motherhood beyond the biological experience and left me to ponder on these questions. What more is to motherhood after carrying and birthing […]
