Are you superstitious?
No I am not. My heart is innocently plain and true.

Adieu for a Path Anew💯
(An Unrepentant Abuser)
No more the harm, I sound my alarm,
Long have I wronged, it’s time to be charmed.
You are not the plight, I have seen the light,
Deserve much more, my wrongs take flight.
I have felt so low, a grand sorrow’s flow,
You are my hero, I failed to show.
A life so bright, envy in sight,
Yet inside, I hide a shadow’s bite.
I release your heart, we must depart,
Find an angel to mend the part.
For you, the best, let peace invest,
My dungeon’s guest, I will bear the crest.
It’s not just adieu, but a path anew,
Forgiveness is due, for sins I accrue.
Though tough to grasp, our final clasps,
Time now rasps, freedom gasps.

FORSAKING WHAT IS RIGHT
Pensive I sit alone,
A dutiful wife, my love I have shown.
My heart, a fortress, steadfast and true,
Yet shattered by the secrets I now rue.
Through years of vows, I stood by his side,
In trust and in faith, I could not abide.
But shadows whispered of his hidden schemes,
Revealing truths beyond my wildest dreams.
I tended home with love and care,
While he roamed, unaware.
His smiles hid the lies he spun,
As my trust waned, my heart undone.
Each bill paid, each coin saved,
A testament to the love I craved.
But his deception, a weight I bore,
Leaving my spirit bruised and sore.
The whispers of deceit grew loud,
Breaking through our once-happy shroud.
I bore the burden of his lies,
Watching love’s light slowly die.
My love, a beacon in the dark,
But truth’s sharp arrow left its mark.
With weary eyes and silent cries,
I whispered softly, my last goodbyes.
Tonight, I surrender the fight,
A dutiful wife, forsaking what’s right.
My love, a casualty of lies untold,
As I walk away, my heart grows cold.

LETTER TO MY 100-YEAR-OLD SELF
Write a letter to your 100-year-old self.
Dear Future Me,
As I sit down to write this letter, I cannot help but wonder what life must be like for you, a century ahead of me. I hope you are reading this with a smile on your face, filled with memories of a life well-lived.
First and foremost, I want to express my deepest admiration and love for you. You have weathered a hundred years of life’s ups and downs, and yet here you are, still standing strong. I imagine you must carry within you a wealth of wisdom and experiences that I can only dream of at this moment.
I hope you have had the chance to love deeply and wholly throughout your life. Whether it was a partner, family, or friends, I hope you have cherished every moment spent with those you hold dear. Love is the most precious gift we have in this world, and I hope you have embraced it with open arms, even in the face of challenges and heartache.
I also hope you have pursued your passions relentlessly. Whether it was through art, music, travel, or any other avenue, I hope you have dedicated yourself to the things that bring you joy and fulfillment. Life is too short to spend it doing anything less than what sets your soul on fire.
As I write this, I cannot help but wonder what dreams you have fulfilled and what adventures you have embarked upon. Have you traveled to far-off lands, experienced different cultures, and soaked in the beauty of this world? I hope you have never stopped exploring, never stopped seeking out new experiences and opportunities for growth.
Most importantly, I hope you have lived a life of purpose and meaning. Whether through your career, your relationships, or your contributions to the world, I hope you have made a positive impact in the lives of others. There is no greater legacy than knowing you have made a difference, no matter how small.
And finally, I want to thank you. Thank you for persevering through the trials and tribulations of life. Thank you for your resilience, your strength, and your unwavering spirit. You are a beacon of hope and inspiration to me, and I can only imagine the incredible person you have become over the past century. I hope your husband, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren are proud of you ❤️
With all my love and admiration,
IFEDOLAPO OGUNNIYI

MOJISOLA
What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance?
‘Mojisola’, which means ‘I woke up in wealth’. More like I was birthed into wealth. A Yoruba name from the western part of Nigeria in Africa. Not that a billionaire’s daughter 😂, I guessed my parents were kind of speaking positivity into the air, lol. Growing up, God answered their prayers.

DON’T ASK!
Don’t ask me
Why my breast is sagging
Ask me about the four comely children
That suctioned my breast for two years each
Thank God in my life for the robust way they look
Appreciate the good job my breast did
In flowing ceaselessly with opulent milk
Don’t ask me
Why my tummy is not flat
Ask me about having a baby who weighed 4.6kg
Another who weighed 4.8kg
Ask me about two other who weighed 5kg
In my tummy for nine months
Thank God for me that I gave my womb disposingly
The stretch marks can bear me witness
Don’t ask me
Why I can no longer twerk
The same way Shakira will do
Ask me about the cumbersomely hefty load my back fortified
For nine months times four
Ask me about the pains it bore in the labour room
Thank God for my life that I withstood the pain
Thank God for my life that my bones were not broken
Don’t ask me
Why I am suddenly able to withstand any pain
If you have ever been to the labour room
You will understand the denotement
Of breaking two hundred bones at the same time
Thank God for me that I did not give up
Because of the excruciating pains
Now no matter what anyone does
It cannot be more than the pains of distribution
Don’t ask me
Where I have got my strenght from
Ask me how espousement has edified me
How to multitask naturally
And withal perform my task excellently sexually
Thank God for my life for vigor
Thank the owner of strenght himself for being so munificent
Don’t ask me why
Thank God for me
The transmutes you optically discern now
Is as a result of the fire I passed through
I came, I performed and the result is conspicuous
Blissful International Women’s Day!!!

TOGETHER WE WILL STAND
In times of joy or sorrow, come what may,
You stand by me, through night and day.
Through laughter and through tears, you are there,
A friend so true, beyond compare.
In every trial, you stand with me,
A steadfast rock, unyielding and free.
Through thick and thin, you lend your hand,
Together, we conquer, side by side we stand.
When challenges arise, you stand for me,
A champion of my dreams, you will always be.
With courage and with strength, you fight,
For friendship’s bond, burning bright.
Cheers to you, my faithful friend,
Forever by my side, until the very end.
In every moment, come what may,
Together we will stand, come what may.
