Who betrayed the football game in Ghana and beyond, Anas Aremeyew or those who took his money?

I keep meaning to start a mini-public journal about the many documentaries I have seen. After work, my favorite pastime is lying on my couch and binging documentaries. That was how I found the world’s most dangerous roads and the most dangerous ways to school — premium content. Some days…

They lied — starting is NOT the hard part.

It’s not always easy to continue after the first step, and no one talks about this. — Week 33. I’ve often shared about the need to start — regardless of whether or not one is afraid or does not feel 100% ready.

How often do you check on yourself?

Week 27. Today’s reminder is on checking up on yourself. Let me explain. Sometimes I go weeks, months, or days without hearing from or checking up on some people. Then I randomly remember them and text them to know what’s up. How often have you thought about yourself and asked yourself how Ebele (or inserts your own name) truly is? I ask myself, ‘Ebele, are you okay?’ And I allow myself to respond to me as I listen, as I would do to my friends.

Week 26. When I was a fresher in Nsukka, I attempted jacking during night class. I’d go with Dinma and Cally. While men read, your girl slept like tomorrow was not promised. Those days I was using a blackberry curve 3 that my sisters had got for me. Dem no…

Here’s an easy guide to introspection.

Week 24. I fell off a bit for a few weeks, so I’ll push out every backlog I’ve kept in my draft. I thought of quitting, but my mama did not raise a quitter. I grew up believing that it was St Augustine who said that an unexamined life isn’t…
