Mobola Writes

More often than not, I have put my friends to test just to know my standing with them. Would you blame me? I guess not because I go into friendship with my heart and trust my friends to the core when they finally pass. You can easily say that is why I have a small circle. Need me to ask you the most silly things you have done with your friends? Thinking of this now and I'm currently laughing. It should be nine years ago if I'm not mistaken and the parties involved would have probably forgotten about this incident. There is a high chance they will remember upon reading this. I attended a single school and this fueled my hatred for the other gender. Not hatred per say but I guess you understand that feeling of being caged in one environment for three months and not getting to see the other gender except your gender. Okay! Let me say I was irritated by their presence. That mentality of "can't it be only females living in the world". To all the wonderful guys reading ...

Picture credit: Redbubble A lady shared her story or should I say a testimony and while reading, I had this strong conviction to write about it because this is exactly what we get to hear in the society or what most people do due to our religious mind.  Constant blaming of the devil even for minute things we caused with our own hands has become a major deal. Our bodies cannot demand for rest even after stressing it without us ascribing it to the devil. Back to the said story/testimony, she had difficulty breathing for days. According to her, it was so severe that her bones were weak and she could practically do nothing. Sometimes, it was as if her breath was suspended. She had a production later in the week which required energy hence, she started "praying" for quick recovery and kabashing the devil. This is where I will come in. Do we truly understand the meaning of prayer? I am not denying the existence of divine healing rather am I criticing  it but truth be told, most peo...

I try as much as possible not to take part in public argument especially on trivial issue or trending topics. This is not because I do not know what to say but because I understand that not everyone is blessed with the gift of logical argument; while some can logically argue with no beef or fight, others cannot. Plus we are quite different and so is our reasoning. but I need people to understand that the world is not always black and white and that someone does not see from your perspective does not make them less human or less knowledgeable. We are wired differently in order to think critically.  One of the main ingredient to a successful agreement is critical thinking and open mindedness to learn and unlearn things. In this case, it may be you learning something or the other party. However, it has been established that most argument in Nigeria is not tailored towards critical thinking and to some extent it is always narrow-minded. Please note that I am not saying those who engage...

Right from my dream, I've seen pictures of how I should slay today. That sweet moment when you have your clothes figured out in your head and you can't wait to sway your beautiful portable body that Jesus gave you. But the unexpected happened! The clouds began to gather and rain was imminent. I didn't want to imagine what will happen. It poured and eventually stopped and daughter of Zion set out. I need to commend the weather today. It really did a good job soothing my skin compared to the scorching sun lately. However, the odds of living in an area that is susceptible to flood is annoying but I can't say rain should not fall. Although that's the least annoying thing that happened. I was walking gently and trying as much as possible to avoid any stain when this bike man came from nowhere and splashed water on me (one of the perks of rainfall in Lagos). Kai! My beautiful cloth was in ruin. Spontaneously, I had carried my big umbrella and hit him on the head just like...
