I am laughing right now as I remember how i used to be very conscious, whenever my elder sister who was learning how to drive at the time was behind the wheels especially because the memory i have of her driving wasn’t really pleasant 😂 she had tried some james bond movie moves and well lets just say it didn’t end particularly well😂 but..... ~ moving forward to recent times i even sleep off when she is driving, i am like let me know when we are home, I am more confident in her skills, i seldom hold the car handle or help to check if a car is coming or any of that. ~ I just trust her to get us to our destination and it got me thinking🤔.. who is behind your wheels??? When we are with experienced drivers who have travelled that same route multiple times there is hardly any cause for alarm because the driver knows the route so well. ~ And same thing with when God is behind the wheels of our lives there is no cause for alarm l, because we know that when it comes to our matter h...

Hello amazing member of this international family, to be honest i have missed you all so much and i missed writing to you , I have been feeling quite guilty that I haven’t written to you even once throughout the lockdown , and i can’t even use the excuse that time is not on my side, time has finally been freed from the constant blame it receives  from us all Lol 😂   You know my dear international friend,  this morning i was thinking of how i spent the last 3 weeks of the lock down, yes i would say it was quite productive, but i know in my chest that i could have done better.   Look my friend , even though the excuse of not enough time was taking away, I still wasn't doing what i should be doing and i know i am not alone in this we are plenty,  that business plan still hasn’t been written, that online class still not completed, that book still unread, that call still hasn’t been made!   We used to blame it on time now what??? This should open us to th...

Its been a minute but today isn’t our day to meet, but amidst the days activities i thought to share, over tome i have come to the realization everyone in the world is watching one person or the other and attaching so much value and interpretation to what ever that person does. And if indeed we are not living a selfish life and we are working towards making the world a better place then we must be conscious of our choices and what actions they result to. If someone was to meet you just once and they were meant to have a life long impression of your personality and it was to be something they will have to add to their principle set, what impression would you want to leave them with??? I always want to spread Love, ignite Joy and encourage Growth wherever i am found ? Let me know about you below👇🏾   Also...

( Took this pic in a village i visited recently, I don’t know why i chose it but here you go, Lol) I had so many experiences during the past week, highs & lows and i got so confused on what to share, maybe something that just happened or events from the early part of the week, said a little prayer and now i believe i this is what someone out there needs to know. If you are in your 20’s late or early, you are probably at a phase where you are trying to put things together, and figuring out life, be it education, purpose, spirituality, marriage, raising a young child and all the issues that come with being this age and that’s ok! Trust me when i say you are not alone there are millions of us within and outside your country just trying to figure out life, its also an age range that is very familiar with disappointments and things not going as planned, you are probably reading this right now and saying to yourself “EXACTLY O!! I am tired!” .... I had my fair sure of disappoi...

Keeping to promises, I had a long weekend, my friend lost her mum who was more than just another mother but one who showed all her children’s friends love and care, and we went to pay our last respects and support our friend. It was such a sad experience, but was also an example of how important it is to live your life well, show love, be kind , be good, serve God and many other lessons. I can’t stop thinking about how much freedom people who have crossed to the other side feel, with no worries about dying or any form of pressure...... it must be beautiful. I am genuinely exhausted from the trip and putting out this post because i am learning to keep promises and i made a promise to be here every week and to remind everyone to live well and have great impact on the life of others like Mummy Cecilia Alu did!!!! This post is dedicated to her I love you Thank you for your care and love We will still blow for you, like we promised! What do you think about life after death??? Sh...

AM I DECIEVING MYSELF??? Yayyyy!!! You are here again or maybe you haven’t even read last week’s episode well if you haven’t.... i think you should...  Last night at about 1am i sat on the floor in my home and i began to think about what I originally planned to share today, and asked myself the same question i had asked the blog team members a few hours earlier.... Why???? what exactly do i want to gain from the topic i want to share, is it really my reality, am i really being honest and as open i promised to be with this section, or was i trying to make people see me in a certain light, was i simply chasing clout, likes, shares, compliments like, “this girl has sense sha” or was i really seeking for the growth of any one who reads My Open Diary.  You know a lot of times even when we say God i just want you to bless me so i can raise the gospel or shine your light, if we sit down and check ourselves most times we are declaring empty words and being selfish cau...

I remember back then in secondary school my friend Semirat Bello and I used to keep diaries, it was her idea and since i was already writing all over the place i was like why not!!! But as usual i was Extra with mine! I had a section for highlight and low point of the day, gossip of the day and more.😂 Then if our Diary gets lost for even 2 mins our heart will be doing Gbim Gbim, kikum kikum, ahhh everybody’s secret was inside oooo, we can’t go and have enemies because of recording memories and we were in a boarding school, 2secs everybody go don hear😂. Well i am grown now and being sincere with thoughts and what one is going through still isn’t easy, but i have decided to use this platform to share my process and lessons i learn.  Hopefully  i have grown enough to be consistent and share with you every week, anyways here is my Open Diary,  i hope you learn, i hope it brings joy, shows you a little more about love and helps you grow!     Though we are ...
