(I found this in my Facebook Notes. It was written in 2010 - and I think I should write a sequel) A Walk Down Memory Lane . . . I remember sometime ago, when I was in college studying Petroleum Engineering, I always told myself that I would be one of the most successful Petroleum [...]

. . . of Ravi and Charlie
I remember sitting in my living room, watching the funeral of Ravi Zacharias, tears streaming down my face like I was weeping for my father. This man was an instrument that the Lord used to change the way I think, and now he was gone. Anyone who didn’t know Ravi when he was alive suddenly [...]
Of Pollen and the Call of God
So if pollen supports plant life and they can get anywhere via many a means, it feels like such a heavy responsibility to be called the pollen that spreads the words, love and life of Jesus - but that's only because I'm thinking about it logically.
The ‘Jonathan’ Legacy
There is something about the story of David and Jonathan in the Bible that always moves my heart (see 1 Samuel 18 - 20), and I know that if you carry out a random Google search about them, you'll come across some weird theories that can never hold any water. People do not understand how [...]
Of Paul, Apollos, and Asherah Poles
I joined our women's prayer conference call one morning a few weeks ago where the voice of a beautiful sister was sharing about the spirits of Ahab, Jezebel, and Elijah and their manifestations within today's church. We prayed along the lines of what she shared, interceding passionately for the Body of Christ. As we prayed, [...]
“Be More Wendy”
(Written on the 19th of July, 2022) It's not every moment of our lives that become defining moments, but when those moments come, we know know without a shadow of doubt that they have come to transform us; and they are not always pretty. A few weeks ago, a dear friend of mine lost her [...]
Sam’s Stories: Happy 70th Birthday
On the 30th day in December 1952, a special baby was born into this world. That baby grew up to be the most dashing man I have ever met, and I have met many. That baby became a source of joy and encouragement to the people that crossed his path. That baby became a brother, [...]
RECKLESS ABANDON
(Written last week) My sister surprised me on Thursday night all the way from Abu Dhabi. We spent the whole day together yesterday before she left for London to surprise her parents. She had booked a studio session (her birthday gift to me) for a song I had written in 2020 and were supposed to [...]
20 Years and a Legacy
It seems like no matter how hard I try to keep up with my writing on Alethea's Mind, there still come moments of silence. These moments are not bad in themselves as I spend them on other assignments, but I'm grateful that I can always come back here and feel like I never left (WP [...]
‘Village People’
Village people are surely out to get us . . .
Insulate ‘Christians’
As I listened to those words come out of her mouth, I became quite ashamed and worried at the same time.
Sunflower Chronicles
At the end of the last term of Nursery, Bumblebee came home with a plant in a cup. During the term, they had planted sunflower seeds and watered them till they grew out as beautiful seedlings. I placed the cup on my famous kitchen window sill and watered it as faithfully as I could. It [...]
of Gekko Underpants and Contentment
The long awaited day had finally arrived: Bumble Bee's 4th birthday. The night before, Boo of life and I had spent some time decorating the living room with balloons, buntings and honeycomb decorations as a surprise for him the next morning. So much for being born in winter; so far, Bumble Bee has had less [...]

When Obedience Hurts
I came across a movie on YouTube titled 'The Train', based on the life of one of Nigeria's prolific Christian movie makers, Mike Abayomi Bamiloye. Although it's a Yoruba movie and considering I'm the fakest Yoruba girl ever, I still enjoyed every bit of this true-life story (thank God for subtitles, the Yoruba they spoke [...]

"Bridges" The greatest glories and challenges of my life have always come in the place of relationships. My hottest tears, my hardest laughters, my insecurities and greatest moments of triumphs - all laced around a relationship or two.

Photography and Truth Series #3
"THAT'S JUST HOW I AM. I DON'T TAKE NONSENSE!!!" We hear these words a lot of times, and we may admire those who live by this mantra as 'no-nonsense' people. We might even want to be like them so that no one will ever take us for granted. But is that the best way? Colossians [...]

Sow Good Seeds
When I was a son with my father, tender, the only one in the sight of my mother, he taught me and said to me, “Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments and live. Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth. [...]
