Mobola Writes

Picture credit: we heart it When I mentioned having the unserious ones among the team, I wasn't lying. There's this particular human who seems so unbothered about anything. Tell him there's fire on his head, he'd laugh and tell you to calm down. I don't know if this is a sort of defense mechanism but one thing is sure, he doesn't seem bothered by anything ever since I knew him. All hail the unbothered king of cruise - Dharmey. Dharmey, as he's fondly called, is so annoying. You really don't pray to meet him when you're off to do something serious. He'd laugh your destiny down. Sometimes, I wonder if he's human at all. Apart from laughing at everything, Dharmey has other ways of annoying people. Yeah, he's a lover of movies. With this, he's so skilled at changing topics. We all can be having a nice time chatting about random things and he'd pop out of nowhere with his famous question "have you guys watched..." and right t...

Picture credit: dreamstime.com What is CWG without a sprinkle of vawulence ? One minute, everyone is smiling and laughing at each other's jokes. The other minute, everywhere have scattered. It leaves one wondering what went wrong at the space of a minute. Like who switched the plug? Infact there was a FC specially dedicated to that and it was headed by uncle Dexter. Dexter has one of the sweetest smile but don't be deceived: agbero ni bobo yen. He learnt the art of vawulence from the grandmaster of vawulence himself. Small play and this guy is already breaking bottle via stickers.  Eskiss mi sir, what did we carry, what did we throw?  Another thing Dexter does is supplying stickers to both parties involved in the disagreement, urging them on and serving as a referee. But do I blame him? Not at all. We all love drama. It was like an icing at the top of our day's cake. Dexter, till date, is still proudly repping the vawulence geng. I'm very sure you'll see him in a...

Picture credit: Shutterstock A lot of times I wonder how the group managed to accommodate everyone. It is still a mystery because when it comes to the different available human attributes, CWG has it all -hoes, prayer warriors, fighters, ghosts, peacemakers, serious and unserious ones. Master Piper falls into the category of the serious ones. He seldom talks nor drops his write-ups on the group but when he eventually does, they are always fire. You can feel the seriousness in his pieces. You can easily refer to him as the agba in the market that won't allow a child go astray. He did not stop in his mission to oppress small girl like me. I could remember a time he dropped his profile and professional picture on the group. At that point, I had to ask Angel Michael what I was doing on earth gangan because... I had to pray to God to help me be serious with my life. Tori gbogbo oppression yen ko necesstri. When I finally saw Piper at one of our hangouts, he was and still is the definit...

  Picture credit: Yoruba101 Ikinni Asake mi, eleyinju ege The only ododo in my garden Ileke idi re dami lorun... I'm very sure you're in love with those lines. Well, that's exactly how I fell in love with Adebayo's writing. His writings are infused with indigenous language. He is indeed a psalmist just like his pen name HrmPsalmist. His poems create a romantic aura that can melt the hardest of hearts. It's perfect for a proposal, that is, for someone who loves to go the  ibile way. Adebayo will make you fall in love with Yoruba over and over again just like Brymo's album playing in the background while I'm writing this. Collaborating with him is sweet but I'm no match with his deep knowledge in the language. Ade too sabi Yoruba proverbs abeg. Well, in every gathering of human hoes, there should be a preacher. Ade is a typical example of a child of God: not failing to remind Ayusco and his cohorts about the kingdom of God. But every human must have his/he...

Picture credit: Depositphotos Have you met a screeching human bird? If not, I'm here to introduce you to one - Excel. The very first thing that fascinated me about him was his group name: Garrijebu . Another was his profile picture. He was in love with this Snapchat flower filter so I resulted to calling him ugwu . I still have issues when it comes to his pen name. I don't know if it's Akeelah or the other way around. I know this infuriates him alot😂 He holds a PhD when it comes to being weird. No doubt about that. Excel and I didn't start on a very good note because of his screeching sound; it was always annoying. Imagine waking up to a VN where someone is just screeching: nothing tangible. However, this human bird has one good attribute which is replying to every messages by midnight.  I don't know the agreement he has with midnight but he would always reply every messages even if there are thousands of them. He was also an editor but not as detailed as Ola. Exce...

Picture credit: Pixabay Who would have thought that the next human I was going to meet on the group was an old man who had eyes for details and would never let anything pass his eagle eyes? He would notice something as simple as a full stop. His name is Ola. Both his first and last name starts with Ola, so very few members can differentiate between both. As a matter of fact, people are used to calling him his last name. I hope his dad doesn't break our head when we meet. Ola shares one similarity with Ayusco: amebo. In the past, amebo used to be an attribute for girls but these two humans took it to the next level. I really don't know why both of them didn't open a fan page like instablog. I describe them as worldwide web. His write-ups were mesmerizing, with a touch of lovey-dovey and I was always looking forward to them. He had one series going on then which I really loved and daughter of Zion decided to take this love beyond by shooting her shot.  Entering into his DM wa...

Picture credit: Cartoon Art I love writing and it is safe to say I miss it. It's the only bestie I have, that no matter the distance or fight between us, we'd still connect.  Back then, my specialty was poems. I wasn't so versed in them but I tried my best. However, it is said that a tree cannot make a forest so I decided to join a writing group: Creative Writers Group (CWG). This brings me to the koko of writing. I'd like to do some "amebo" about the wonderful people I meet on the group, although I will take it one step at a time.  The first person that re-added me to the group was Ayusco. He writes beautifully but has one flaw: killing off his characters. You dare not read his poems at night except you're brave at heart. Heeey Jesus! The name Ayo has a tainted meaning already. They're known to be serial heartbreakers but this one chose a different path. I mean he's single to stupor so he's got no heart to break in the first place. This guy ha...

Many thoughts filled my head before I came here to write but as the page popped up, I couldn't put pen to paper. The words are screaming in my head, however, my mind is blank. Lol One thing is sure: decision making has to be one of the most difficult chores of adulthood. Hopefully, I'd write about this when my mind is in a better shape. By the way, how is the year 2021 treating you/ how has the year treated you?
