What is your favorite season of year? Why?
It’s WINTER all the way – December. It’s my favourite because, firstly, it’s my birth month.
Secondly, it’s my wedding anniversary month.
Thirdly, it’s always the coldest month of the year in Nigeria. I love the way cold caresses my skin and make me feel so loved.
Lastly, it’s CHRISTMAS. I love the unboxing of gifts, sharing of food to the less privileged, cakes, chocolates, sales, etc.
What are you passionate about?
Writing. Every part of me screams PASSION when it comes to writing.
What countries do you want to visit?
I have always dreamt of being is CANADA. I hope I get the opportunity to visit soon and probably work there as a Skilled Professional Writer.
What’s your favorite thing about yourself?
My wild imagination.
In a world of fleeting moments and fading dreams,
Where life’s tapestry weaves its intricate schemes,
There lies a truth, concealed yet so plain,
A tale of existence, full of bane.
In pursuit of riches, we amass our worth,
Chasing hollow treasures, since the day of our birth.
We yearn for glory, accolades, and fame,
But find no solace, only a fleeting flame.
Like wisps of smoke, our aspirations ascend,
As time’s relentless grasp, it does not bend.
In our quest for power, we sow seeds of despair,
Ignoring the beauty that is tender and rare.
We measure success in titles and gold,
Ignoring the warmth of a love that unfolds.
The vanity of life blinds us from whatis true,
Leaving our souls empty, with no purpose to pursue.
We chase illusions, mirages in the sand,
Never realizing life’s essence slipping from our hand.
For what is the worth of material gain,
When joy and contentment remain so disdain?
The beauty of existence lies not in the strife,
But in the simple pleasures that color our life.
A gentle touch, a heartfelt smile,
Moments of laughter that make life worthwhile.
So let us break free from this endless chase,
Embrace life’s fragility, with its delicate grace.
Seek the profound in the simplest of things,
And let gratitude be the melody that sings.
For in the tapestry of life, though vanity may dwell,
The seeds of joy and love will forever swell.
Let go of the bane that clouds your sight,
Embrace life’s beauty, and bathe in its light.

How do you want to retire?
Lying in the coolest beach on earth, with a cup of Chapman and fried shrimps; checking my phone and receiving huge bank alerts of profits made from my investments
