I hope this comes out right but don’t give up your aspirations because you’re not getting the support you think you need. Embrace the support you have and who knows maybe the support you need will come along the way.

Maybe that is why I am always in defence of Nigeria because what I hear in meetings vs what I see on twitter… hmmm. The situation is bad no lies but there is a lot of embellishment.

This time last week, called my mom only to find out that my Dad's BP was in the 200's, he had just been given injections. I immediately raised an altar in my room & within my prayer group. Thankfully, Daddy walked me down the aisle. The devil lost the battle yet again. Oluwaseun!

Everytime I attend a “church” event in Nigeria, I silently wonder how our country would look like if half of the people in the room follow the tenets of the teachings of these events. I don’t know if that is judgmental though, I just like to wonder.
