MY 2021 TESTIMONY

 When I tell you my life has been nothing short of the grace of God, I promise you I'm not joking. God has really been faithful to me in these past years

Looking back at 2021, it was a tough ride. When I tell you that I was unhappy most times and had terrible anxiety, it was only God that saw me through. Most days, I would wake up sad and moody, not wanting to do anything at all through out the day. Most times I cried myself to sleep for absolutely no reason. The kind of sadness that engulfed me during that period was intense.

I remember being so sad and almost depressed the day before my birthday. I cried my eyes out and I told God just one thing. I wanted to experience what peace felt like as I had lived most of the semester in sadness and anxiety. Anxiety in the sense of not knowing what to expect from each passing day.

My mental health was in shambles and I broke down mentally from May to September constantly. I couldn't open up to anybody cause I didn't think they would understand what I was going through at all. I had completely shut my friends out and wouldn't even speak to them at times. It was that bad.

How that semester was the highest GPA and CGPA I had ever gotten, it was only God. Cause judging from that semester, I could have had my worst result due to a terrible mistake I made during one of my exams. Still God was faithful

Coming home for holiday, a few weeks after, my mum caught covid. That was the most traumatic experience I had ever had in my life. From waking up to see my mum couldn't breathe, it felt like a hand was strangling her. From waking up to rushing her to the hospital to get her treated, I was just crying all through

I was so overwhelmed as I was just thinking about various things. Yet on our way to the hospital, God sent his word twice to us that day. Before the end of the day, my mum could speak better and now she is Covid negative 

I was in close contact with her through out that period and I was negative. God didn't allow this virus spread round my family as that would have been another thing entirely 

I will always be forever grateful to God. The things he has done for me can not even be quantified. Despite my unfaithfulness, he has remained so faithful. He has a track record of keeping his word as he sent his word that we would not be buried and we would not bury anyone in 2021

This is to a better year in 2022. And yes I'm graduating this year. There is just so much to be thankful for. Here is to a greater tomorrow filled with so much Joy and happiness.

NAIJA TO YANKEE

  NAIJA TO YANKEE On May 31st, I left my seemingly perfect life in Nigeria for greener pastures abroad. This was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make in my whole life. I am naturally a very indecisive person, so making this kind of life altering decision for me was the last straw that broke my camel's back. "Tami please stop crying now, I promise you'll be fine" my friend said to me as i broke down in tears at the airport. Nothing he said to me or tried to do made me feel any better than i already felt. I didn't see any need to leave the country that had become my home over the years to go and start building all over again in another man's country. But that is the beauty of what's ahead. You get to rewrite your story all over again and erect structures out of nothing. I cried till there were no tears left to cry. I cried till my eyes hurt and didn't have the strength to continue. I had lived in denial all along till the day i was to go ...

Ota girl, Lagos babe.

  OTA GIRL, LAGOS BABE RELOCATION   It all started when I packed my life into two boxes and headed for Lagos A week earlier I had just graduated from the university and celebrated in grand style. Little did I know what was waiting for me on the streets of lagos. It was NYSC that brought me here o. I had worked my posting to Lagos and also gone to collect my acceptance letter from a media house on the island. “Me, a 9-5 girlie?” I thought to myself as my journey to Lagos began on a Saturday morning.

How would I seamlessly transition into office work? Me wey no get any single work experience. Would my colleagues at work like me? I wasn’t about to deal with any office drama with anybody o Work resumed on Monday. I was introduced to my boss alongside two other girls who were go...

THERE IS LOVE AT HOME

                                           THERE IS LOVE AT HOME Let these words resonate in your heart no matter how much you try to doubt it Repeat them over and over again till it all makes sense to you Know that there is someone who fully knows you and deeply loves you He will carry you on his shoulders. You’ll never have to stumble or fall   That fierce and relentless type of love that leaves you in awe all the time That sweeps you off your feet and renders you speechless The kind you don’t even have to beg or plead for It is always there. All you have to do is look up   When the realization hits you of how much loved you are You’ll begin to wonder what you did to earn such magnitude of affection Then it occurs to you again You couldn’t even earn it no matter how hard you try   Only if you could see yourself through your creator’...
