In Retrospect of 2023

Image
Welcome to Limitless!  This is going to be a really short read. It is a reflection of 2023 from my point of view. So, enjoy the read.  A major prayer point that I kept bringing to God at the beginning of 2023 was to water every seed in me that wasn’t germinating yet. And did He answer that prayer! Of course, I won’t be going into details because I’ve not been instructed to.  I would say some things though.  1. I felt God’s presence in my life this year like never before.  2. I got closer to God. I tarried more in the place of prayer, read the Word more, spent more time with Him, and worshipped more.  3. I heard God more often and more clearly. 4. I really understood the meaning of obeying and  following His instructions.  5. I loved the assembly of the brethren (aka church) more.  6. I got corrected a lot by the Holy Spirit and saw some flaws in my character that needed to be pruned. 7. I started seeing signs of my secondary assignment for Hi...

Father Christmas, Christmas Jollof, and my Favorite Christmas Memories

Image
Welcome to Limitless!  Here’s a fun fact about me. I never knew about the Grinch as a child. In fact, I only knew about it recently. I could have seen it somewhere on TV, but I didn’t do much watching of television as a toddler. It was more of an outside play and adventure for me. The most memorable cartoon for me, if I watched at all, is Teletubbies🤣.  Also, I only knew Father Christmas, not Santa Claus😂. Okay, I’m joking. I knew what Santa was, but I knew him as Father Christmas, the guy with a big tummy and scary white hair, of course, with lots of goodies by his side. I guess we could say that Father Christmas is the Nigerian name for Santa. I was always terrified of Father Christmas though, I do not even know the reason. I would cry and try to run away from taking pictures with him. Real tears. I still wonder why exactly.  The culture here in Canada is, parents/guardians would put gifts in stockings and boxes, and tell their children that it’s from Santa. Then, eve...

The Canteen

Ariyo Canteen was flooded with an interesting mix of customers. Men in their suits, women in their corporate wears, bike men, trade apprentices, and children all crowded around the giant coolers and pots being served from.  Jollof rice, white rice, beans and bread, swallow and soups, were in coolers on the canteen’s serving table. The spicy meaty aroma of freshly-made buka stew engulfed the whole canteen.  There was also Afro beats playing in the background; competing with the chattering of customers anyway.  One thing was lacking in the canteen: Coordination. There were no queues and everyone was pushing their way through. Faces were covered in sweat and frowns; customers clearly ...

7 Gift Ideas for Christmas

Image
 Welcome to Limitless!  Thinking of giving out some Christmas gifts this season?  Here are 7 Christmas gift ideas for you!  1. A kitchen gadget You could get a blender, air fryer, pots, set of utensils, kettle, garlic presser, grater, or pans for them. It is even better if you’ve been to their kitchen, and you know what they might need. Also, try to remember if you guys have had any conversation about kitchen utensils or gadgets.  2. A work gadget This could include an equipment or materials that they might need at work. For instance, if the person is a hairdresser, you could get comfy slides for them. Also, it could include work pants, dress, shirts, ties, socks, or shoes.  3. Clothing and shoes You could get them a particular clothing or shoes you think they would love. Some suggestions are pants, shirts, dress, loafers, boots, or heels.  4. Food stuff Food is now expensive🤣. So, I think most people would appreciate foodstuff. Items like raw rice, b...

In Defence of Ghosting

Image
Welcome to Limitless! In case you are new here, we discuss real life issues, relationship, and enjoy some fiction on Limitless. Enjoy the ride❤️.  Okay. Someone is already annoyed in advance and about to counter everything I say😂. Just calm down and stay with me.  Let’s talk about ghosting. Please refer to my Ghosting  blogpost. I explained what ghosting means there. That post was more directed at people who had experienced or who are experiencing ghosting. Today, I’m facing the ghosters! So, let’s peek into the heads of people who ghost and see what they were probably thinking.  1. They are busy:  This is the most common reason I’ve heard. “You know, my workplace is currently going through this accreditation thing, and it’s been so hectic”. They are too busy to reply you and end up replying your texts days, weeks, or even months after. They are either too busy with work, school, exams, ministry (for those doing talking stage with ministers😭).  Some will ...
