Limitless

Welcome to Limitless!  ——————— Sku tum pum p … I watched in horror as my sick gen went off and started to emit so much fume. Ah, aye o!  This thing has succeeded in embarrassing me. Kunle instinctively clasped his hand on mine and pulled me away from the choking smell of the fume.  “Oh my days. Did I do something wrong? Was the fuel gauge on?” Kunle asked, with genuine concern in his voice. I wanted to be serious for once but I burst out in laughter and looked at him unbelievably, “Yes, it was on. But, take a look at this gen. Does it look okay?” Ah! Gigabyte! This rascal has scammed me again. My hard earned 10k. Hm! “Tanwa, what happened?” Came my sister’s voice, “ Eh , wait, what’s this? Why are you using this type of gen?” She stared at me in disbelief. I tried to suppress my giggle but I started laughing immediately I looked at Kunle’s face. This guy has a very contagious smile. The kind that would make you burst into laughter immediately if you’re trying to be serious. I turned to

As much as your words have the power to comfort, they also have the power to crush a person’s soul.  Welcome to Limitless!  Have you ever thought about why some friendships or relationships end because of just one word? Did you know that just your words can leave a lifetime damage on someone?  However, I believe there is a way we can have better friendships and relationships, by being sensitive to people’s emotions. Thus, there are are some words we should not say to people because whether they react or not, those words could cut deep.  1. “You’ll be fine” I know you are already like ‘👀wait what? What’s bad in that?’ Okay, hear me out. There are some times that it might be okay to say this word.  But, imagine you vent to a close friend about something, you pour out all your heart, you are sad, weak and on the brink of tears. Then, they just give you a cold “you’ll be fine” and walk out.  I consider the word inappropriate because it gives me the vibe of “deal with it yourself, it happe

Welcome to Limitless! —————— Tears. This is the one thing about living alone. When you have money, you enjoy and chop life alone. When there is no money, you suffer alone. Omo. This life is one kind. How can a whole me Omotanwa Olowe be eating 50 naira fufu and soup with no meat. Eii God abeg .  Alawee has finished like this. If not for this my nonsense ‘I better pass my neighbor gen’ that keeps having fault, it wouldn’t have finished so fast. I’ve spent 10k on it just this month. Maybe it’s even that Tunde boy that is spoiling the gen further. The gen never ceases to give me problems. Why is the power supply in this place so terrible?  I paid electricity bill 14,500 naira. When it’s not as if it’s only me that is using light in Nigeria .  Maybe I should get a meter because I’m very sure I don’t use up to 15k worth of power. These thieves. Mtchw .  I’ve spent 5k on transport. Owo ti ku waso (money is remaining 50 naira). 3,500 naira actually. Wait how come it was just 2k in my purse

Hi! Welcome to Limitless!  Today, I will be showing you what went down last weekend😂. My version of ‘we outside’😁😂. I had loads of fun.  So, I went to a cottage owned by my sister-in-law’s mom, in Gananoque. She was very warm and receptive. The place was so beautiful and peaceful. You should know now that I don’t like noise. I like soft life lol😂. The cottage overlooks a river which just made the scenery perfect. I felt like a movie character who wakes up opens the curtain, looks outside and sighs while closing her eyes😂.  First off, I want to show you guys some sculptures I saw at my SIL mom’s house.😂 This was the first thing I saw when I entered the house. My heart first did gbish gbish😂. What do you think I said immediately I saw it?” Blood of Jesus, of course. Egungun, be careful😂😂.  Then I saw these… They are nice sculptures actually. Some black heritage things going on. I liked the Bantu knots sculpture the most.  Moving on, I saw this!  This right here is iconic. That’s

Hi guysss!! It’s been a long time! How have you been? (I usually don’t get any answer to this question😂). I hope you’ve been keeping well. I apologize for disappearing on you. Here’s my bribe for the long disappearance.  ———————— ‘Jeez. Why on earth do I feel so sad watching this movie? I have a very bad feeling this guy is gonna die. No freaking way, why would he go there? Oh no. I’m so not watching this movie’, I closed my iPad, picked up my phone and dialed my best friend’s number.  “Olureni Peters! Didn’t I tell you not to recommend tragedy or melodramas to me anymore? Girl, life is sad enough already, why would I want to watch something that would make me cry?”  She huffed and laughed, “Miss Omotanwa Olowe, always so dramatic aren’t we? Now, that movie wasn’t as bad as you make it seem.” “No really. Isn’t the point of watching movies to escape reality? I mean my life right now could make do with some escape anyway.”  “Tanwa. We can’t really escape from reality. Besides you don’t

Welcome to Limitless! ————————— To be honest, I didn’t know about the term ‘writer’s block’ before I started writing, but sure, the thought of ‘what if I run out of ideas, what if I don’t know what to write anymore’ came. However, I never fully processed or thought it out. I didn’t know it was really a big deal for some people.  Some people have prolonged writer’s block for as long as ten years or more but it could also be as short as just an hour. So, writer’s block is when someone who writes is stuck with content, unable to think or come up with ideas.  I think writer’s block can be a metaphor for us being stuck generally. There must have been some points when you have been stuck with your projects, assignments, ideas, contracts. Things like this happen and it’s totally okay.  The first thing I do when I’m stuck with writing or any assignment generally is that I don’t dwell on it too much. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not like I don’t brainstorm, I do. I just don’t brood over being ‘stu

Welcome to Limitless!  I promise, Limitless isn’t turning into a bi-weekly blog or should it? That’s an attractive proposition. I’m kidding. Haha😂. I apologize for not showing up last week.  In case you are new to Limitless, we talk about real life experiences, fiction, and relationship here. So far so good I must say. I’ve had a wonderful Limitless family. Thanks to you!  —————— Motherhood . I don’t know if it’s just me but believe me, my thoughts have been straying to motherhood and it’s frigging scary. Not just my thoughts but movie recommendations, posts, and some experiences have been making me think about it. That’s weird abeg😂.  I see how my sister-in-law takes care of my niece and it’s like a superpower, believe me. To be honest, I don’t think I can remain calm with whining or tantrums. I see myself shouting “shut up and stop making noise”😂.  I have a big sister who has a very troublesome and playful kid. He is so energetic and I struggle to keep up with him some times. I ca

Welcome to Limitless!  Last week, I promised to tell you all about landing and quarantine. To be honest, it feels so weird letting everyone asides family in on this whole journey. I mean, I wanted to keep it all to myself, but I just thought I should share the whole experience. All for my Limitless family!😉🥂 So, let’s dive in.  We landed and I was in a very good mood because I had just watched that really interesting movie (I still can’t remember the name) plus it was a smooth trip.  Immediately I came out of the gate, there was a border officer there asking everyone to show their passports. This guy didn't even stop anyone before me. He was just checking passports and if you are a young person, he would ask, “are you a student and is this your first time coming?” I think it was not the first time for the other people, because it’s only Rolake they stopped o.🙆‍♀️😂 So, this guy asked if I was a student and if it was my first time coming, I said yes. He asked for my institution’s

Welcome to Limitless!  Oh my goodness gracious! It’s been ages! I’m cryinggg. I missed this place so much and I missed you guys too. Sigh. While away, I was thinking, and I figured it wasn’t just me that was busy. You guys were busy too. Exams, tests, assignments, projects, work. I can relate.  But, guess what? Limitless is for chilling and unwinding!! So, after your busy week, you can always balance with your popcorn and read through this blog! Isn’t that nice?🤗  I sincerely apologize for being away for so long. 2 long weeks! Feels like 2years, trust me. Lol!  Hmm. These past few weeks have been hectic, but so totally worth it. My brain, eyes and body have never worked like they did (back to back lol). It was so hard for me to squeeze time for Limitless because the schedule was so tight. I’m finally resting somehow now, so, I’m backkk with a bang😂. Did I hear a round of applause? Okay okay. Thanks thanks.  That’s why I will be giving you guys the full gist today to make up for the a
