A strong girl builds a strong NATION! That's what crossed my mind when I read this post via Bellanaija. Kudos OmoT, WaJe and Yemi!

After releasing a powerful song a few days ago (click here if you missed it), Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Waje and Yemi Alade were at a press conference yesterday, May 21, to officially launch the song ‘Strong Girl’.

The song was recorded to enforce the rights of women in Africa as part of the African Union year of women empowerment.

Check out the photos from the event.

For My G.Ma - Felicia

I never knew I would miss her this much. People never understood why I love Christmas. I didn’t quite get it too – apart from the bursting joy of the birth of Christ, the melodious songs and beautiful decorations; there was more to the super hyper and lovey-dovey feeling I always have this season. So, I was scrolling through my phone gallery and saw the last photo I had with my G.Ma. Oh by the way, Christmas was her birth and death day. I’m writing this because of her. Just to share a bit of her awesomeness with you. That woman was a bad-ass! Reminiscing on my childhood memories with her, I realized she was the reason I love Christmas.

The older I get, the more I think I’m beginning to understand the true essence of life. I hope I do. One moment, the people we love, know, or care about are here and the next they are gone.

Or why we make loud noises in the announcement of our arrival and walk away in silence, sometimes without notice. Is life that meaningless, as the words of the king in Jerusalem, son of David? I never entirely fully agreed with some of his words in Ecclesiastes, the idea of it is very understandable though, actually very deep for one who has seen it all, I suppose. ‘One generation goes its way, the next one...

Slow me down...

Here is my typical day: Wake up, say a word of prayer -sometimes in my heart while I brush my teeth and take a quick cold bathe; Jump into my clothes, do some little amateur work of art on my face (of which by the way comes out 'not too good' especially when there's no power and I had to use a torch!); grab my bag and shoes and any extra luggage and out I go.
