Mobola Writes

I will try as much as possible not to sound like a motivational speaker because I am not one and it takes a whole lot of professionalism to attain that feat. Thinking far back now, I would probably had laughed out so loud if someone had told I would fall in love with writing. Writing, to me, was an unattainable goal. I considered it very complex and the dos and don't were all just too much for me to comprehend. As we are aware that there are basically four communication skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing; I will still choose writing over speaking despite its complexity. You must be wondering in your mind that I am a weird fellow. Of course, I am. Being normal is boring. I do understand that every skills has its own area of complexity, in which writing and other communication skills is not exempted, however, as individual we are always willing to bend to the tenets of one than the other. Writing started off as a discipline for me. It took me years to discover t...

"Eerrrrrrm...today...I'd be t.a.l.k.i.n.g...so so so" I'm quite sure most people can relate to this. Sometimes in my year 4, I was to represent my group in a group presentation since the spokesman had an appointment with our project supervisor that same day. The topic "feminism" was something everyone could relate too. I had even prepared by making researches and reading extensively on the topic. You needed to see me bragging among my peers that day. As in, a whole me, Mobola wants to do presentation in class. Dem go collect. I remembered rehearsing even before the class and everything was perfect.  The set time came and the lecture commenced. Of course the lecturer called out the groups scheduled for presentation that day and we all came out. The first group did their thing and discussions were centered on their presentation. Mobola should have been prepared by now, right? Ehn ehn. That's where the real deal came in. Suddenly, everyone was looking lik...

Hello lovers, I hope you had a lovely day coupled with the lovely rain. As for me, I feel cool taranranranra.  You do not need to correct my lyrics.😇 It has been a long time since I last posted on "Variety Thursday" session. Oh well, I have glad tidings. I would be throwing back to a funny event that happened ten years back. I know you just screamed, lol . I do have a good memory. Now, imagine the little version of Mobola in a pink check house wear coming into the hostel wearing a tired face, with a bucket of water on her head. Did you get the image? Yes, I trust you did. Well, we would come back to this. Prior to that very hour, I had undergone my normal routine as a student. The school schedule was designed in a way to wear students out each day. As a student, you get to wake up by 5am and not sleep till around 10pm. Let me spell it out for better understanding. A typical routine is waking up by 5am for morning devotion, after which one would go and prepare for class. JSS ...

Thanks to everyone who have shown concern towards my sudden MIA. You all gave me reasons to continue on this journey. I have been thinking all day on what to write and thankfully, I came up with something. Since today is Thursday, let's do a throwback. Sounds fun, right? Obviously. I will be throwing it back to series of events that happened in the year 2006. Did you just exclaim? Lol, it's a long time indeed but the memories are still fresh and intact. Kindly note that this is a long read. Sit back and enjoy. Back in the year 2006, it was time for the annual graduation ceremony and preparations were ongoing. Everyone was up and doing but this little girl didn't join any activities. Maybe as a result that I was shy or because I didn't like the stress that accompany each activities. I think I was lazy. Yes! That's the word. I was simply lazy to stress myself. So all what we do, I mean myself and my lazy group of people, is jump around from one group to anothe...

Wow! It is another Thursday and guess what, I love Thursdays. Basically, we all have that one thing we wish to change about the world, the society we live in and even about ourselves. So today on Variety Thursday, we would be sharing and discussing that particular thing. What would you love to change about yourself, the society you live in and the entire world if you had the power and opportunity to do so?

Yaay! It is Thursday and we've discovered that it is boring to be serious all the time. The human brain, mind and body needs some time to rest, relax, enjoy and free some memories. As a result, I would not be sharing my experience(s) today but rather, we'll be sharing our favourite childhood memories so we could learn, laugh and relate. It is tagged THROWBACK MEMORIES Feel free to share your memories with friends and lovers in the comment section. I'll be waiting!
