Am I Still Here? Celebrating the greatness of God in Me!
Really, Am I still here?
I can’t just believe my eyes…that I am still here!
Here, not there!
I still can’t believe that I found me here at this time.
Death has tried several times, but I still found me here.
Challenges of life has made me wanna leave for there, but I still found me here.
I later get to know I can’t leave for there unless I’m truly done here.
So I’ve got to still stay here.
As long as I have breathe in me, I will still be here.
But, I’ve got to do something to make the rest of my time here counts.
I know my failure to yield to the requirements for going there, I’m still bound to be here still.
My HERE is life, the last day of my presence on this earth means the end of my here, and the beginning of my THERE.
I’ve got to make a decision about impacting my here. That’s my utmost purpose in here for now till my father calls me there.
I never felt like I was going to make it till now. It’s been a very long time since I had the drive to write. Content creation hasn’t been working out for me lately.
But, I AM HAPPY THAT, I AM STILL HERE!
Happy new month of April.

Nigeria (Africa) to the World!
Another amazing history was made in Nigeria ?? yesterday.
Currently we can proudly say we have 2 World Champions in the Heavyweight division Anthony Joshua (AJBXNG) and welterweight (Kamaru Usman) popularly known as “The Nigerian Nightmare” from Nigeria.
Never in history of this great nation has this happened until
@anthony_joshua and @usman84kg raised the bar. Another interesting thing is, we have our own Isreal Adesanya (The Style Bender) also making us proud as a champion. He is King in the Ring two-time cruiserweight and heavyweight champion. That is the most titles in King in the Ring history so far. He was also the former Glory middleweight contender winner. Anthony Joshua is the current heavyweight champion with three of the world’s heavyweight belts in his medal cabinet. He has been tipped to face Wilder later this year in order to unify all the belts.We (Nigerians) are proud of you guys.
Keep Reppin’ us and this is a strong message of #Hope to every Nigerian youth!!
Don’t give up!
The Hustle is real but rewarding!
It shows that we are fighters!
We fight against all odds to become our dreams and fulfill purpose.
Be proud of your #Origin you can’t change that, but what you can change is how people see it.
This is a fight not just for you, but for your family, community, state, country ??, Continent ?

The Big Wedding
Let’s play a quick game.
Take a good look at yourself.
Compare your dreams to your biggest available resources. 9 times out of 10, you don’t seem to have enough to make your dreams come true. Naturally, your dreams are bigger than what you have now.
Sound familiar?
Then, pay close attention.
This scenario? I call it the big weeding.
Everyone you look up to went through this season.
Actually, scratch that…
Everyone you look up to GOES through this season.
It’s the feeling of a giant drinking from a thimble. How can he ever be filled?
This situation? I call it the big weeding.
The test of men. The proof of worth.
This is where many quit.
And many more will.
You know why?
The big weeding never stops.
The big wedding never stops, you have to experience them in your lifetime. It is moving at a jet speed. You have just got to move along or it leaves you behind. 
Just when you are jubilating after scaling a hurdle, the next one is just ahead.
But I didn’t write this for the weeding. This is about you.
If you couldn’t win you wouldn’t have been worthy of this, in the first place. No one writes an exam that they haven’t studied for.
All right, some of us did in school, but I digress..
The fact that you are facing bigger challenges every step of the way proves only one thing — you are growing.
Your challenge is not a sign of a treacherous universe. It’s a sign of a giant manifesting.
Change your perspectives about the test of life.
If you had everything figured out from the start, would you have grown into the person you are today?
Even video games get harder, one level to the next. Yet, we play them. And what happens when we break a game? It gets dropped.
Too much comfort makes you weak.
Pains, tribulations, and examinations — these are the things that show how strong and wise you are. They are what make you bigger and better.
The pleasures of victories?
The pains of setbacks?
The thrills of the chase?
Let these drive you.
I said in the beginning that this is a quick game. Maybe, maybe not. 70 years or 100, we are all here.
Playing…
Keep this one thing in mind.
Many players started this game with us.
We are the only ones left.

One Way, Many Wills By Tope Fabusola
ONE WAY, MANY WILLS by Tope Fabusola is the latest piece in the BurnUporBurnOut Series hosted on Olawale Daniel website. You can read the previous editions by clicking on the categories below. Hands up if you still look both ways before crossing a one-way route!
Don’t be shy now! Legion is our name, because we are many.
Whenever I cross a one-way route, I still look both ways. I don’t care if the vehicle was supposed to come from just one side. Thanks, but no thanks.
While I understand the law enough to obey it, I don’t trust it enough to heal my aching bones or bring my dead body to life if someone decides the law doesn’t apply to them.
But then, that’s just me, right? Many others just trust the law blindly and cross the road…
To za oda world.
I have learnt in life that the presence of a law is not the same as the obedience of it. Because a standard is set doesn’t mean everyone follows it.
I have seen people set high standards for themselves — in their business, life and relationships. And it works. High standards bring great benefits.
However, I’ve seen these people trust others to respect these standards. And yes, I’ve seen them screwed over and over again.
It’s not that deep, really. Most people simply don’t care. They don’t necessarily hate your guts. They just don’t care. Unless there is a dire consequence, most people don’t care.
It’s your standard, not theirs. Deal with it.
Does that hurt? Calm down, sir.
It is important you understand this now and save yourself avoidable hurt this year.
“Don’t be so green to think the world revolves around you.”
It doesn’t.
Unless you are the sun, but that is a whole ‘nother subject.
If this is business and your standards are that important, be ready to enforce it. Don’t expect others to look out for you.
Have you heard about backstabbers? What about backbiters? Well, they exist and they are everywhere. Now, they are also on social media. Isn’t God wonderful?
People get hurt in this strait alley. People eat people for supper. Even if the law would eventually defend you, remember that dead men don’t bite.

Welcome to February – Month of Actualizing Dreams & Witness of Funny Dramas
Happy New Month to you!
Welcome to February 2019.
This February is your month and everything that has failed to work since January, they’ll begin to work for you.
February is your month of execution and actualization of your big dreams. It is your month of divine encounter. You will surely be favoured in this month. You will move from Good to Great and from Grass to Grace. This february comes lots of dramas from politicians, don’t be distracted.
Lots of love in the air for the Valentinians!Doors of opportunities will open. And you shall take advantage.
Go harder this month because there are lots to be done and lots of money to be made.
Don’t joke with anything about this month. Consider how other person on the receiving end would feel by your actions or non-actions – so think it over before you click, post!
If Asiwaju the furniture could commit suicide right here in this country because of banters, abuses, attacks, and non-challant attitude of fellow Nigerian twitter trollers on Twitter, you should be prepared for the worst. Our advancements in this world is vastly eroding us the benefits of humanity – we don’t care anymore, but just about our individual happiness.
And lastly, it is going to be a month of funny dramas and telenovelas in this country, be prepared for the premiere. In fact, go get your front row ticket because Twitter Nigeria is getting ready.
Do not get carried away by sweet talkers in the political scene of Nigeria. They may come as saints trying to woo you onto their own sides…never get carried away because of a morsel of bread.
Get smart and Vote your future wisely.
Vote for your conscience.Don’t vote on emotion…getting emotional attached to politicians ain’t gonna change their thoughts and decisions towards you.
In fact, emotion and sentiment are part of the tools used in winning your heart during political campaigns. It is part of the game. Don’t fall for it.
Remember that;
“all tyranny requires to get a foothold is for men and women of value and Valor like you to stay uninterested in challenging the status quo.”
If you are ready, God is ready to make everything work in this nation once again.
We’ve been outside the country and know how things were in those places.
We can duplicate them here if there are good policies and execution in place here as well.
We can do it by choosing the right leader with good hearts and experience towards driving the affairs of this country forward.
Let’s show our future generations that in our own time, we stood for what we believed in – a working nation. A nation that stood up despite all the odds and challenges before it.
We can do this.
If Ghana could do it, we can.
If Rwanda can do it, we too can.
If South Africa could stand up against apartheid, we can stand against any form of tyranny in our nation.
And all that is really important to effect such change is your Voter’s Card…yes, your PVC.
I was at the INEC office earlier today to get mine. I applied for a correction of name the last time I was there a year ago, but I was surprised they didn’t actually made any correction. Instead, they reprinted it as is. I love it like that because that priceless jewel will help me to choose a leader with conscience in the next couple of days.
You should feel the same way. Your PVC is all that you have left after several years of failed leadership in this country. So this February, don’t make the same mistake of not realizing the value it carries.
Don’t sell it for cheap or any form of stomach infrastructure.
It is worth more than $50 Million if you know how much poverty affect a nation and deprived its citizens of their self worth.
Don’t sell yourself too short.
This February is your month where you make amends and record great feat.
Make it count.
You can, and YOU WILL!
