It was a beautiful Friday evening with @sycamoreafrica listening to stories of Epic Fails from Ope Adeoye and @kemionabanjo. Location - @bogobirihouse . I enjoyed listening to Ope's story as he transitioned from a ball of excitement who didn't think of failure as an option to a wise man who knows that his project could fail but it wouldn't be the end of his life. *You should know when to admit failure, and make a plan from there. Analyse your alternatives and get moving. . Kemi! I was engrossed! Maybe because of that, 'everything that could go wrong went wrong all at once'. I managed to take my eyes off a few times to take notes. . Failure is not about who you are, it's about what you've done or not done. Focus on what needs to be done. . Separate yourself from your failure or problem. . Failure is just early apprenticeship. (Tweet that) . You need to go through the process so that you arrive at your destination ready. . Say no to more responsibilities. (On time management. I need this sooooo much!) . People say 'yes' much more than we think. We just don't ask enough. (On going after opportunities and taking chances) . Hindsight is 20/20! (This one ehn! It takes grace to learn and just keep moving forward without being held back by regrets) . Be honest with where you went wrong. (Don't live a one-sided story . You can't win if you are not being you. (On being authentic) . It was a pleasure to meet you, @kemionabanjo . Thank you Sycamore Africa. I actually liked 'Toogeder' sha 🙄. Looking forward to the next event. . . . #sycamoreafrica #networking #epicfail #success #inspiration #keepmovingforward

Welcome to July. Halfway through 2018 already!! . So what if it hasn't gone like you hoped or planned. Best believe it is going as you would be grateful for. . I am grateful for desires that didn't come through. . I am grateful that I recognise my mistakes, some of them at least. 😂 . I am grateful that I can sneeze without pain. (Super grateful Lord 😂😂) . I am grateful for food and a place to live. . I am grateful for life, peace, hope. . I am grateful for friends and family I can share laughter and tears with. . I am grateful for my trust in God. As this scary, free fall new season continues, I am grateful that everything good will fall in line. . . . . #grateful #peaceful #fearless #july #happynewmonth Amah shot it!! 📷 - @amahafadamepotraits.

Systems are built and run by people. Systems are also destroyed by people. What are you doing in your corner? Are you one of those who will stop at nothing to serve your personal interests? Bringing others down to get by? Taking advantage of sorry situations? There are so many ways we are a part of the problem. It is time to turn out a new leaf. . #Nigeria #getyourpvc #getinvolved #enoughisenough . I need to update my PVC. Will be starting that journey next week (day TBD). The more the merrier. Let me know if you'd like the company. I'll bring a scrabble or chess board or something. ☺

I had to break my commute today. While waiting for the second vehicle and dabbing a drizzle from my cheek, I literally heard the question: "Damilola, how come you are still not frustrated? You should be in deep pain and tears now" . My answer: "God keeps me in perfect peace for my mind is stayed on him, because I trust in him." 😁😊 . This is for you who thinks you've reached your breakpoint. You will cross it more times than you can imagine, each time thinking you've reached the end. But you will stand. You will mend. You will move. . Don't lose faith. More importantly, let nothing tamper with your peace. Guard it jealously. . #peace #faith #fearless #strong #alive #grateful #waiting #praising #singing #dancing #laughing . Location: Heritage Place 📷 - @sayfay_

Copy Regrann from @slkomedy - I really wish I could have all Nigerians in one room and say this. Each of us really needs this. Our leaders are a representation of us. They were not imported from Ghana. If we can place passion over money as a people...things will be better for us as a nation. Everybody puts money first...that's the bane of our society. If we had policemen that place the protection of lives and properties above what they can get money wise...If we had engineers that are passionate about making world class roads as against just aiming to win contracts and then doing jejune roads just to make ridiculous profits, if the people in charge of generating power actually are passionate about lighting up the country over the money they make from the lack of it, if transport workers are passionate about the comfort and safety of their commuters over the extra money they inconvenience them for, if only we had LEADERS that are passionate about serving the people as opposed to enriching their pockets......and on and on and on. Every sector needs this to make for a wholistic change in the nation. Those buses that were charging 1000 naira to beggar yesterday, you think if those drivers become ministers of transportation tomorrow....You think they will care about you???? Lives will be lost when companies or individuals choose to make money over concern for safety for the people. If we operate like this....what we will then notice is that...That money...we will now have it even more because every sector is effective. Let me just cite a practical example!! A cab guy loading his car....will put 2 people in front and 4 at the back....no one in the car is comfortable including the driver. Meanwhile...If you had one person in front and 3 at the back...probably increase your price by 10 naira.. You might make less but your car will last longer and everyone is comfortable....which should be your main concern as a transporter!!! Imagine our transport system was comfortable....there will be less cars....less traffic. You can see the ripple effect. Enough said....my heart goes out to the families of those that lost their lives...God bless Nigeria. #GodBlessNigeria

God will do his own work at his own pace and in his own way. * Sometimes, he does it with a sense of humor. 😂 You may not laugh immediately. But you'll see eventually. Do not let events dictate your reaction. Remain firm in faith and keep trusting God for his best. * Lord, help me to hear you and do as you will. * All things are working for my good. * #faithful #intentional #grace #Lord #wonderful #father #thefathersdaughter

It is sad that what we'd refer to as basic human nature has become a luxury. I was speaking with my mother about the killings in Plateau, and she told me of how some farmers in Benue had run into a village in Kogi State to escape a massacre. The herdsmen followed, caught up with them and butchered them. This is criminal. This is not human. This is evil. Security in any part of the country is an illusion. This violence is not far from you. It is a friend away. It is a border away. It is one negligent government away from hitting your doorstep. . #stopthemadness #enoughisenough #prayforjos #nigeria #standupnigeria #getyourpvc #getinvolved. Let's stop acting like it is not our business. @eienigeria marches in Abuja on July 4. Please, check their handle for details if you are in the FCT.

Through it all, I choose peace. And I choose to pray. . I pray protection over my family, my friends, our brothers and sisters in the north and middle belt of the country. May God keep you. I pray for a spirit of love and sanity to take the place of wickedness and madness. I pray for strategy and direction, for us to know the next step to take. Tweeting and talking won't do. I pray that God raises responsible and capable leaders as we register to vote in the coming elections. The arm of flesh can do nothing without you. Father, take control. Be the way maker. . I pray for marriages squeezing through trials they never imagined as they took their vows. Where that better tomorrow looks like something they must learn to cope with. Father, I speak peace. I speak joy. I speak breakthroughs. Help them find strength in you. . I pray for singles tucking their fears at your feet. Help them to leave them there in exchange for your grace, for faith, and a firm belief that your plans for them are good and your purpose in their lives will be fulfilled. I pray that they recognize that the uncertainty of what a marriage can be is a call to depend on you, not an excuse to run from the desires you have created for your glory. . I pray for parents going through pain over a child's health or state of mind. I pray for calmness and wisdom and direction. I pray for peace and that laughter will fill their mouths again. I pray against guilt. They will celebrate that child. They will enjoy that child. . You alone are the way. Lead us. You alone are the truth. Enlighten us. You alone are the life. Quicken us. Thank you, Jesus. . #Jesus #nigeria #peace #almightyGod #thewaythetruththelife #justice #plateau #fairness #faithful #prayers #nomorekilling #nomorefears #unity #understanding #injesusname
