Mr Olalekan Ogunkoya is a 53 years old widower with two children.
On the 13th of September 2023, he was on his way to his friends house when he heard a gunshot and joined others in running without knowing the cause.
The policemen were able to catch up with him because he is too old to run fast. He was arrested and taken to the police station.
A week after his arrest he was arraigned in court with two other boys he has never met in his life and arraigned for belonging to Eiye Confraternity.

Advice no one wants to hear:
you HAVE to put in the work or it isn't going to happen. this means, yes, you're going to need to actually work constantly for a solid year to reach your goals. probably longer than that, honestly. you are going to be tired and it isn't as easy as anyone makes it out to be. but if you don't get up and make the change in your life, no one is.

In the second year of my MFA in Iowa, an essay of mine got a Notable Entry in Best American Essays. Someone in my program emailed me asking which essay, asked for a copy and went to a party to rip the essay apart. he rubbished the essay to everyone.
they are a SICK bunch

ask anyone who has been through any creative writing MFA or MA and they will tell you, these suspicions are not new. a regular jack in your class who cannot write shit will call your writing useless because he doesn't understand it, and that's on the days when they're being nice.

Black tax doesn’t exempt women, infact daughters are taxed twice. You are expected to be the breadwinner and the housekeeper simultaneously.
It’s the responsibility of most African children

You are allowed to experience joy while things in your life are unresolved. If you postpone happiness until everything is perfect, you’ll be postponing it forever.

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it’s called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don’t care, but because you care too much.

yes that's called neo-colonialism. dont want data centres in the US? lets move them to south asia. literally exporting their actual waste to us and then saying this. ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT.

A public officer laughing when confronted about failing to do her job properly, while people lives are at stake, is the height of impunity.
