I love growth. I love how it smells;fresh, alive, becoming. But the challenges make me miss childhood; adulthood can be choking sometimes. And when old age comes knocking my knees, I’ll miss this face, this version of me. I don’t know what to call life. It’s a hmmm.

”....TO HAND ON TO OUR CHILDREN, A BANNER WITHOUT STAIN...” Learned Colleagues and Fellow Nigerians, As we celebrate Nigeria’s 66th Independence Anniversary, we honour those whose courage and sacrifice gave birth to our nation, as well as those whose efforts over the years have kept the Nigerian dream alive. Sixty-six years of nationhood is both a milestone and a reminder: that the work of building a just, peaceful and prosperous Nigeria is a continuing responsibility, and one to which we, as lawyers, must remain firmly committed. Independence Day invites us to reflect on our responsibilities, first as citizens and, even more so, as lawyers to uphold the values of justice, and liberty; to respect the Constitution and the rule of law; and to consider what it means to build and leave behind a Nigeria worthy of the generations that will follow. As lawyers, we owe that special duty to protect and advance these values. This Independence Day therefore provides a fitting opportunity to renew our commitment to the ideals upon which our nation was founded, and to the task of building a Nigeria we can proudly hand on to our children; a banner without stain. As we mark this 66th birthday of our nation, may we continue to work together towards a Nigeria defined by unity, faith, peace and progress. Happy Independence Day, Nigeria! Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, SAN, FCIArb President, Nigerian Bar Association

People who think life can be fixed need to understand that, not everyone will be giving the opportunity to fix their mistake... one mistake can cost you more than you imagined.

Happy birthday to me 🥹🥰❤️

I visited a prison once. I thought I was going there to observe. I didn’t know it would change how I see the law forever. Thread.

I was a walking death… until I stopped living in the past. (let the silence after the line do the talking)

When No One Came Sometimes the ones I ache to reach Are shadows out of time’s own speech. I try to live where my feet stand, Yet need and silence go hand in hand. I’m striving alone, though the night is wide, Click the link to read the full piece whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vac…

Still I show up even when yesterday slipped. Not because I never fall, but because rising has become my habit. I am my own restart. My own reason to keep going.” #Day3 #PoetryChallenge #KeepGoing #PoetInProgress #DisciplineNotPerfection

Like a cut, I could feel her ache. Even when her mouth was closed, I heard it all — the strength in her falls. #PoetryChallenge #Day2 #SpokenSilence #EmotionalPoetry #WritersOfX #DeepFeels #PoetryCommunity

Love Before Sunrise✨ What does love feel like before the world wakes up? It feels like I’ve got heaven right here, Even distance can’t dim it it only deepens the ache, makes the feeling fuller. This love;it’s quiet, but it’s everywhere. #Poetry #30DayChallenge #MorningLove

“Night with You” When the night feels like you, the world slows, but my heart stays with you. My mind, full of your love. So gentle… take me to the moon. Let’s dwell there just us, in our own time.

I will NEVERRRRR.

“The Kind of Love I Want” I don’t plead for perfection. I want you;real and you. Someone who’s there; emotionally, physically… and more. One who holds my hand and makes me feel safe. One who chooses me, out loud, And every time #RomanticPoetry #Uwakypoetry #Day1Challenge

At dawn, I watched the moon slip away from the night. The night wasn’t lonely I was. I used to beg for peace in their chaos… Now I light my own candle and sit with silence. Today, I choose to become the lover I kept begging for #SelfLove #Uwakypoetry #Day1Challenge
