2022 What a year! I remember heading back home with my Twinnie and her kids after crossover. It had just been declared our year of Fullness 💃    I noted it down and added it to what God has called the year for me; a year of Bumper Shifts . I can’t recall the events that occurred after we got home but I remember waking up with a clear picture and word from God; a travel gift. I smiled and held on to it. Someone may be wondering why a travel gift.. In 2016, I had enjoyed trips to some countries, and I remember on the last trip after arriving home, and trying to get the much needed sleep my body was crying for. I woke up to see someone at the door of the room dressed like a babalawo (a high priest). I struggled to pull myself up ‘cos I was damn tired. I woke my cousin up and she prayed (God bless her heart), and I went back to sleep. I knew I needed to pray some more but I whispered a prayer and gave in to sleep. Yes, God answers our gentle whispers, however, when it’s time fo

Hello Fam,   How was the month of November?   November was awesome, and I am deeply grateful for the gifts and blessings that God sent my way in the month of November.   The highlight for me was seeing and meeting up with friends I had not seen in ages; my dear mama Ibeji, and then my FEGO Lang sisters, with whom we had a mini reunion. At the reunion, we were asked to share some fond memories from school. I remembered mine much later, and that’s what I want to share with you all today…lol. I laugh as I recall the whole scene😀.   *** Day : I can’t really recall, but I think Saturday or Sunday. Time: Let's say between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. Class : SS2 Location : Senior L’s Corner   So here we go…😎 The hostel was kind of empty that night, and I can vividly remember that there was no power supply, so I guess people were outside in different locations gisting. I can’t really recall where most people were, but what was most important was that no one was arou

  Hello Fam! I hope we are all good? How was October? Today, I will be sharing the 2nd chapter of the book of Adira for your review and comments. I am hoping that as you read and drop your comments. *** Chapter 2 -  After Dr. Noe left our home, myself and Red walked towards the tree house my dad had built for me. I climbed up and peeped through the window to see if Athira was seated with her sister Fina at their usual spot beside their mom's kitchen. I smiled happily when I spotted them. I lifted the lid of the window, pushed it up and screamed excitedly, "Athira, Fina."  They both looked up excitedly. While Athira quickly made her way through the bushels separating our homes, she patted Red on her way up to the tree house. Athira was the only friend I had. We talked, played, laughed together, and fought sometimes. Our meanest fight was when Dinah, the daughter of the village chief, wanted to steal Athira away from me. Our mothers had to resolve the fight for us. I couldn

Hello Fam! I hope we are all good? September went by swiftly, and I am grateful for God’s daily mercy and blessings. Today’s post is a book I began writing years back; I will be sharing the first chapter for your review and comments. I am hoping that as you read and drop your comments, I will be gingered to quickly finish it up..lol. The book is titled ADIRA.  I hope you have a good read. *** "Daddy please, tell me the story again", I pleaded. He laughed and lifted me onto his laps. "Alright Adira, I will". Daddy was the best story teller I knew, and I always loved to see his expression and gestures whenever he retold the story about my birth. It was like he was re-living that moment again. Just as he was about to start, Red rushed in through his dog hole and began hopping left and right excitedly. "Not now Red" I said trying to shove him away but it refused. I looked around in search of something to throw but found none. I pushed myself off Dad's laps

  Greetings Fam! How are we all doing? How was the month of August; the birth month of Queens like us….lol August was beautiful and busy-full. I felt like hiding away at some point but I remain the child of my father coupled with the fact that I work, walk and pray with people who are like him; individuals driven with the desire to attain heights and accomplish great feats. However, I pray September is filled with days of ease that will allow me wax in sweet hours of pure laziness so I can catch up on courses and recoup lost weight..😁 Today, I write about a family I have adopted as my tool of gratitude; I walked to the balcony as usual to bask in the warm rays of the sun, to drink in the beauty of the blue sky and to feel the gentle breeze across my face. As I looked down the balcony, I noticed the family in the next compound; few of the kids were on the farm working, while the others sat by their thatched house watching their mum prepare breakfast. I looked closely to see wha

Hello Fam! I trust the month of July went by sweetly As the month rounds up, I will like to share a true life story, not mine but a friend's. I hope it inspires and blesses you. Here we go... "When next you have the privilege to be in any car I'm driving, it's either you shut the hell up or simply get out and walk. You certainly cannot be Mrs *** in my car."   Those exact words were what I received by WhatsApp from my loving husband ❤ To say the fact, this jolted me back to reality.  It got me really thinking. The truth is that I was wrong and I overreacted. Let me narrate the genesis of this. Sit tight please 🙏  ... Some years ago, while we lived in one of the countries in the Middle East, about seven years thereabout,  I went to visit a family friend in some other part of the country.  Not just once did I witness the wife rudely speak to her hubby  - about the way he drove.  "Didn't you see that bump?", "Slow down now!" "Trafficate

Hello People, The first half of the year ends in few hours 💃 I look back and all I can say is THANK YOU JESUS! The first day of the year came with the promise of a travel gift from GOD. It was so clear, and I held onto it. Fast forward to the month of February, an opportunity presented itself but the timing was short and it looked impossible cos getting a visa in that short period seemed close to impossible. I almost let it go but I was encouraged by some friends to give it a try. As I mustered the strength to, I remembered what GOD had promised, so I equipped myself with it, booked an appointment and went to the embassy, the Wednesday before the due date for my trip. I walked to the counter when it was my turn to submit my documents. The lady I met, looked at me, and asked: “when are you to travel?” I replied “Sunday”. She stared at me and said “today is Wednesday, its not possible for you to travel on Sunday”. I looked at her and smiled, please go ahead. She said “are you su

  The month of May went by so fast, but I have so much to be thankful  I look back, and I have to say GOD was truly faithful Today, I will be sharing the story behind the picture above;   April 7th 2017 I was packing and getting ready to travel for my brother’s wedding. As I quietly shuffled things here and there trying to make room for more items to go into the bag, I heard God say “Let nothing shake your faith”. I tried to make sense of it, but I couldn’t. I kept wondering what was about to happen that might likely to shake my faith. The next few days made it clear, and the early warning was what I held on to as the days and months passed by. Lessons: -God still speaks! -As our earthly fathers will go to any extent to warn and protect us, God does the same April 10th 2017 We all arrived to our respective destinations and work resumed. Daddy was not feeling so good, and we were glad he arrived home to be treated. I still had those words ringing in my head, so I decided to create a des

Hey Fam, I trust we are doing great! Today I will be sharing one of the many ways I have seen GOD at work in my life. 2015… I finally got to publish the first edition of the Yspot Children’s devotional (YCD). I began writing the devotional 2 years back, and it was great to see the finished product. I was excited about the lives that would be impacted by it.   *We are an embodiment of grace and it is our duty to impact lives with the gifts we are endowed with Well, I needed to print more copies and decided to reach out to friends and loved ones for support. I had just moved to Abuja and was getting used to life in the beautiful city😃. I was amazed at the level of support GOD sent my way. I printed more copies with the money I was blessed with. One of the best gifts to have is the gift of men; individuals who are there to give you a push and support you when needed   Fast Forward to 2016… My cousin went into the bank to make some transactions. I stood by her car ha

 Dear Fam,  We made it to the end of the 1st Quarter  🕺 🕺 🕺    Glory to GOD!!! So to continue the series we started in February; true life stories of some of my dear friends, I present to you Tong'ret Lot😍😍😍  I truly do not know where to begin my testimony.  It’s a pretty long one😄😄😄  My name is Tong’ret Lot.  I truly am grateful to God for  GPPA ( Global Prophetic Prayer Altar)  🙏🏽 We all know the hip joint is one of the major joints in the body. Well, a bout 3 years ago, I had a left hip replacement.  Yes, my left hip bone was completely taken out and replaced with metal.  This happened because of what medicine will call vascular necrosis of the femur head.  It is when the ball of the socket joint in the hip begins to eat itself and wears out.  It completely disable ones walking, standing, seating, you just name it.  It is the most painful thing on earth!   Lifes' situations can seen overwhelming and unbearable until you hear what others are going through and the w

    How was the month of February Fam?😎 No matter how it was, we are grateful to GOD. That we are here today, alive and well, with a sound mind and an ever caring family and loved ones in our lives, we have GOD to thank👏 I am sharing a personal experience today… smiles😊 I walked to the check-in officer to check in, and she asked for all my documents. I gave her all, and she paused and asked for my permit to travel to Nigeria. In mind I was like… are you joking? Why would I need a permit to travel to my country, like why na? She kept talking and gave me the link to get the permit. I found a place to seat and did the needful. While doing that, I thanked GOD the driver picked me up earlier than planned.   Thanksgiving is the key to life. Always find reasons to be thankful in every situation. No matter how bad and dark things look, there will always be a reason to be thankful, and you realize that as you give thanks, your spirit man is strengthened. If you spend time to think, you will

So, over the next few months, I am going to be sharing true life stories of some dear friends. I truly pray that their stories inspire you and stirs your faith to believe, even in contradicting times and seasons. If you will like to share your story so others can grow, learn and be inspired, we will be glad to post your story. You never know how many lives will be transformed by reading it. Okay, so here we go... Hilda's story Life got so hard that I thought we were going to be swallowed up. Everything looked like we were just spiraling downwards....we moved back from abroad to Nigeria, moved from a two bedroom flat to a one bedroom flat, and at a point we began selling our properties; we sold our TV stand and our center table.  In fact, we had earlier sold a part of our sofas, the three - seater because it c
