Limitless

Welcome to Limitless!  I am in love with the evolution of Christian films in Nigeria. I mean, the details and extra care put into them to ensure the story lines reflect modern day issues are remarkable.  I absolutely love watching Christian Nigerian films! Not only are they edifying, they are also interesting and riveting. Boy! I’m so happy Christian content is being pushed out there.  Here are currently my top 5 Nigerian Christian Films!  5. What About Us? Photo from @pst_iren via Instagram  I definitely want to see this movie! I watched the trailer and it looked really interesting. Have you seen it? I think it’s only in Nigerian cinemas for now. I really hope I get to watch it!  4. Abejoye  Photo from @jay_mikee via Twitter  You just have to love Abejoye . From the cast, to the costumes, to the location, to the plot, to the makeup. 100 over 100!!! My favorite character after Abejoye is Kinkinyiun. Her scenes literally give me goosebumps. I love ...

Welcome to Limitless!  It feels surreal that I’ve been writing for about four years on Limitless!  Can we have a series story, Limitless?!!! I would love that!🤣 It’s been a while since we had some fiction or those crazy false memoirs. Hehe. Remember “Miss Koi Koi”?  Why am I talking to myself? Me, myself, and Limitless🤣. That’s by the way though.  I like the fact that I can just come here and say what’s currently on my mind, and you, my Limitless reader would still read.  Fortunately for me, and to be very candid, the majority of what fuels me to write is not the number of reads I get on a post or what my view Stats is showing. If you ever had a chance to read my bio on here, you’d see what I wrote and that is majorly what fuels me.  Don’t get me wrong, I love it so much when you read and comment on my work. I especially like when you read my controversial posts and take time to absorb before reacting or responding. Even when you don’t take time to read b...

Welcome to Limitless!  Yes, I see the weddings and engagements also.  It’s as if 2024 is majorly for weddings! Bruhhhhh. Everywhere I turn to Wedding, Engagement, Proposals🤣. Is there something you guys are not telling us? Is the world coming to an end soon? Becauseeeeeee I can’t keep up😂.  It hits different when you see that your friends are getting married and engaged also. I guess it’s that age already. Lol.  The craziest rumor I’ve heard about myself recently is that I’m married. Bruhhhhhh? Don’t kill me abeg 🤣. Secret marriage? I don’t think so.  I actually feel like I will be going for lots of weddings next year. lol. Just a feeling.  It’s plentyyyyy o ! You guyssssss! I’m just here to rant about the 2024 weddings.  The funny thing is I don’t feel choked, oppressed, depressed or anything. In fact, I feel so at rest. Unusual rest, becauseee🤣. And I’m actually really happy for the people I know who are getting married! So excited for them!...

Welcome to Limitless!  Maybe you feel relegated? Do I really matter in the grand scheme of things?  Will this ever end? Why am I caught in this web of circles?  Why are things not going the way I planned? Will it ever get better than this? When will it get better?  Does God actually care about me? I think God has His own favorite people because why can’t He just do this one thing for me?  How long do I have to wait? I’ve prayed, I’ve fasted, I’m prepared. When exactly do I see the light? I’ve been in this tunnel for what seems like forever. I’m so tired.  Bro, I feel you. To be real.  Let me share a scripture. This was Jesus speaking.  “Look at the ravens. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any birds!… And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?” Luke‬...

Welcome to Limitless!  Today, I’m grateful that I have a father who was present during my developmental years and who is still present in my life.  One of the fondest childhood memories I have of my dad is from when I was about 5 years old. I tagged along with him to buy some bread that day and he carried me on his back all the way to and from the bread shop. That act, as simple as it may seem, is forever ingrained in my memory, and it reminds me of how affectionate my dad was and still is. He still rarely says “I love you”, but he definitely shows it. :) My dad never flogged me, and I can remember him punishing me only once. There were lots of scolding, seizing, and corrections though. Hehe. I was a softie, so scolds could make me cry, you didn’t even need to cane me. Lol. I remember that he would always say “o fé té” which means you are about to pass your boundary as a note of warning. If my dad shouts at you once, you would rethink your whole life. Hehe. I wonder why he was...

Today is a special day!  After, that one interview with Victor Alausa,  Life as a Theatre Arts Student , I’ve not brought anyone to write on Limitless. So, i’m really excited for this one!  Today, Edna shares her experience and view on Unrequited Love! Enjoy the read!  ~  Unrequited love is a story a lot of us know well or have probably experienced, but my story unfolded during the days of the COVID-19 pandemic.  It started in the isolation of lockdown, when the world outside was hushed.  I was home from school and started catching up on old friends from secondary school and then I reconnected with him - let’s call him S. We bonded over our shared love for nostalgia of our high school days and soon, our conversations extended beyond the nostalgia to our current feelings.  S and I started video calling each other daily. It was incredible how we connected despite never meeting in person...

Welcome to Limitless!  I feel like if I did just as much as sigh this day, it would be enough. How do you fathom that someone who was once here, who you once talked to, laughed with, and ate with, is no longer here?  Brutal reckless death.  I heard about the passing of one of my university friends/roommates some days ago, and it is so hard to come to terms with. I really feel like I’m still in denial. Maybe her family would still come tell us that she isn’t actually gone. Is it just a rumor? It’s too painful to believe, and writing about it is even much harder. It’s making it feel real, which is so hard to accept.  I tried to tie a bow with my pant’s belt this morning, and my mind immediately went back to her. She would tie my sabbath’s dress bow so perfectly that even after we moved from Room D16, if I saw her on my way to sabbath worship, I would still ask her to tie a bow for me. How do I move on from that memory?  I don’t know if what I feel is pain or numbn...

Welcome to Limitless.  Here’s my line of reasoning: God is highly interested in weak men. At the lowest where you feel like you’ve hit your breaking point, it piques God’s interest even more. Am I here to sputter rubbish. By no means. Let me show you my basis.  Consider Apostle Paul’s exchange with Jesus in 2Cor 12:8-10. There is a whole context to this, but let’s start from verse 8.  “Three times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time He said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.”  “So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.” Verse 8 and God’s response to Apostle Paul in 9 seems to me like God wanted him to admit that he was weak.  My question now is, who on earth boasts about their weaknesses?  I think I have an idea- someone who has admitted that she is a weak woman, and who would allow Christ’s strength to be perfected in her weaknesses.  For the past few weeks, I hav...

Photo from Muhil Mohan on Unsplash.  Welcome to Limitless.  I shuffle between consciousness and the sleep world, forcing myself to sleep in just a bit more because it’s my day off. Morolake, give this body some extra little break.  Then, I receive a call. Hoping it’s not a work call, I lazily pick up my phone, “oh it’s my dad”… I check the time, 7:45am. Why so early? Okay, I think he is returning my call that he missed yesterday. He called to give an update of things. Perfect. I dropped my phone and flickered my eyes from object to object in my apartment. I stare intently at the bottle of groundnut sitting pretty on my island. I really need to cook, or I might just keep living on bread and those two-bite chocolate croissants which is bad because believe it or not, I’ve been gaining weight. Impressive.  I sit and wonder if this is the new life to embrace. This hectic, busy, adult life. Every day is a dramatic one, and most likely a rollercoaster. Am I embracing this n...

Photo from Patryk Sobczack on Unsplash.  Welcome to Limitless!  I was watching a Q and A session with TrueTalkwithTED, and one of the questions they dealt with was on loneliness and completeness. Their answers made so much sense.  I find that loneliness is one thing that we need to deal with before getting into a relationship. It might often not be the case, but getting into a relationship because you are lonely is a recipe for relationship strains. I would rather get used to my own company and be content with my single season than impose my ‘loneliness’ on another human.  I guess that’s why there’s a difference between aloneness and loneliness.  I find that some people place so much of a high expectation on their partner in order to solve that loneliness. Then, they discover that it’s not working, and they start to think their partner is not giving their best. lol. You sure about that?  You’ve just gotta be comfortable with your own company. Most times, pe...
