Happy International women's day.

Dear woman,

There was a time I wished I was a man for I was thrown in an environment where men were celebrated more and being a woman was not so encouraged.

I gravitated towards guys more due to that, it was an unconscious act but one I did anyway. Later, I took note of this thing and decided no more, no more will I celebrate men more than I would women.

It's beautiful what you do, dear woman. It's beautiful that you take what life gives to you and stand despite it. Amidst the catcalls and the insults, amidst the segregation. Amidst it all, you do not let it stop you and keep going.

It's amazing that you do not settle for less and use your strength to do good, women who would change different things and dare to be different. At times, women speak of the pain they go through every month-the menstrual cycle- and this is one that can be seen, blood... it shouldn't make sense that one is bleeding from the body but it happens because we have been given an amazing framework.

Many at times, I have been treated differently for and on a different standard because I am a lady and ladies are meant to be so many

April 2021 - All Hail Omokhuwa: the Hair stylist || The Breaking

I matriculated this month and because I could not afford to make my hair, styled my hair myself in the morning before leaving, my mum really wanted to come for my matriculation but somehow fell sick so my elder ones came instead. Matriculation connotes something of joy to people but I wasn't really happy, I felt shame and at the same time, I did not post anything because I wanted to keep my life private however, I posted a picture due to my hair, I wanted people to see the beauty but unfortunately, I had not taken any picture without the cap and gown for my hair. The picture I posted👇 This is a spillover for you. 🥰 Despite all this, this was a very depressing month for me, I was going through a lot of things and not talking to anyone about it, it messed up with me a lot, and at times, messed up with my relationship with people. I was reading something into what was not. I had days where I would cry endlessly and it always transited into other ...

February 2021: I have to leave Landmark University! || The Breaking

I had mixed feelings about being in LMU, people would see me as my brother's sister, those who were keen on the information and I would just be Elisha's sister, in a sense to them. A good name makes way, yes but we went to the same secondary school as well. I had some assignments God had given to me before now as well which was to be online, I had also started a #learndailychallenge on twitter and without a gadget, it seemed I would not be able to do them till much later, I did not mind not having a phone, I just did not know how things will work out. *** Although it was a time of bliss for the two weeks I stayed, I was in pain at certain periods of time in that first week and when I felt overwhelmed, I either laid on my bed and cried or went to the bathroom. I was tired, this was the second university I would be in. The next week, I went to t...

A New Year Push

Happy New Year! 🎊 It's a new year and I am quite sure some of us have written our new year resolutions forgetting the one we wrote last year, 2021, that we could not accomplish. For some people, t hey are still working on their new year plans while some others have decided that New year resolutions are nothing and so they will not plan. A new year means different things to people. For me, a new year means starting a blog.. a new phase of taking my writing to an even larger audience, Jesus advised me to by the Holy Spirit. So, if anything, we have him to thank for this. I am Omokhuwa, Omokhuwa is an Edo name and it means Child is wealth. I am basically telling you that I am wealth seeing as I am a Child. I am a writer, a student, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a teacher, an influencer and Jesus's Bride amongst other things. Once again, It is a new year and this new year will come with prophecies as with previous years, prophecies that if not built on, will remain only in a ...
