Limitless

Welcome to Limitless!  The first thing that comes to mind when I think of trust is believing and admitting that my possession is safe with someone or is safe somewhere.  I have also come to terms with the fact that trust is relying on an entity.  I trust that the bank will keep my money safe because it is government-approved and so on, so I put my money there. I trust that my cooker would come on when I turn on the switch because I have paid my electricity bill.  One of the similarities you will notice in matters of trusting institutions, things, or people is that they are probable to fail. Think of examples of how things could go wrong with the instances I have given.  However, I KNOW A GOD who never fails even in the slightest bit. He is PERFECT.  One of the major things the Holy Spirit highlighted at the beginning of this year was TRUST. He highlighted Surrender as well which we have discussed in a   previous post .  The picture the Holy Spirit...

Welcome to Limitless!  I hope you are keeping well?  Today is one of those days that I have lots of serious things to say, yet I do not feel like writing on them. So, I’ve decided to just gist you guys today. Rumor has it that some of you like gist🤣 .This one is a cringey one though. Warning! I’ve warned you😂. Okay, let’s go!  ~ My Undergrad project supervisor, Dr. Akoja, called for a meeting with all her supervisees. I really went in for this meeting as a normal person.  Halfway through the meeting, my stomach started protesting. I rolled my eyes (of course internally) and ignored it.  However, I knew it was serious when I started sweating and getting uncomfortable; the stomach upset was getting worse. From the pain and discomfort, I knew it was gonna be a diarrhea poop, you know what I mean?🫠  That kind you can’t hold in. Oh my days🤦🏽‍♀️😂.  This meant only one thing, I had to ask to be excused. So, with a stifled but put-together voice, I begge...

Welcome to Limitless!  On Resolutions  I promise to hit the gym every other day this year. I really need to keep fit. This is my new year resolution. Just kidding. It is unrealistic for me. I know I only hit the gym 3 or 4 times last year, so it is laughable to think I would be able to keep up with 4 days in the gym per week. But, is it actually possible? Of course, it is; as long as I don’t get tired mid year.  Whatever thing(s) you’ve resolved to start doing this year, just make sure you have checks in place. Your checks could be a friend, siblings, your spouse, a reminder on your phone, or even the reality of things. For instance, if I decided I would be hitting the gym every other day because I feel unfit and have a lower back pain. Then, the reality of why I started in the first place, along with how I felt when I wasn’t doing it should set me on track.  All I’m trying to say is remember the reason for the resolution whenever you seem to have discontinued the re...

Welcome to Limitless!  We enjoy fiction, relationship topics and real life experiences here.  Just in case you are wondering, I talk about God because he is the backbone of my real life experiences and relationships. Hey! And happy new year my highly esteemed Limitless audience. Thank you for always reading!  ~  So, what ways exactly can we stay with God this year? I will be concentrating on two points which are Surrender and Trust. However, we would only be discussing Surrender today because there is a lot to unpack here.  Surrender could mean different things to different categories of people.  First Category: It could be that you do not have a relationship with God at all.  Maybe you’ve attended church your whole life, or you’ve always heard people around you talk about God, or maybe you even have these family members that are Christians. But, you are scared and hesitant of going all in. Hmm. “Does it mean I can’t listen to my music anymore? So I wo...

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...

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...

Photo from Adams Arslan on Unsplash  Welcome to Limitless!  ~ “Can you move your busy body back, do you want to enter my stew?” She snarled at the customers, “In this economy, you will pay for it o. ”   She scraped the sweat on her forehead with her thumb and retied her wrapper. 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 ...

 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...

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 ...

Welcome to Limitless!  Do you like living with people? Or you just don’t have another option yet?  I’ve had roommates almost all my life. Let me share a summary of my experiences with you.  My mum was my roommate for the earlier part of my life.  I used to sleep in my mum’s room until about a year before I had to go off to high school.  My high school had a boarding school and I was in there throughout my study. My hostel didn’t have small rooms though, it had large halls instead. We could call them large rooms. So, there were three halls/hostels, and each hostel had about 15-20 bunks. Hence, you can say I had about 30 roommates!  There was always a closer roommate though, asides my close friends or clique. I don’t remember having a clique though, lol. I digress🤣 .  Okay, on track again, the closer roommate is called your “bunkie”. To be clear, the person on the upper or lower part of your bunk is called a bunkie. You also had bunk side mates i.e. tho...
