By Olusola Adeyegbe We are living in an age of overwhelming noise. Opinions fly at us from every direction. Social media dictates trends. Influencers prescribe lifestyles. Society subtly insists on what success should look like. Even inherited dogmas and popular creeds, often accepted without question, add their own weight, shaping thought and narrowing perception. Yet […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe There is a quiet tragedy in the careless way we inhabit our physical bodies. We live inside them daily, rely on them absolutely, and yet treat them as incidental to our purpose on earth. Only when pain intrudes do we awaken to the truth that the body is not a burden but […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe L Comparison is a quiet thief. It rarely knocks loudly. It slips into our thoughts in ordinary moments and begins its subtle work. You scroll through a photo. You hear someone’s promotion announced. You see a friend launch a new business, publish a book, build a house, travel the world. And almost […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe When we were children playing table tennis, the game was never just about the bat and the ball. It was about the score. As each rally ended, the counting would begin. Convenient counting. Creative counting. Strategic counting. If I won the point, the score sounded clear and confident. If I lost it, […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe There is something deeply jarring about the sound of bombs during a season of fasting. When war drums rise at the very moment millions bow their heads in prayer, civilisation is forced to look at itself in an unflattering mirror. Lent and Ramadan are not minor observances. They are structured interruptions in […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe Familiarity rarely announces itself as a risk. It comes quietly. It often begins the moment we drop titles and say, “Please, call me by my first name.” That small sentence sounds harmless, even warm. Yet in many professional and cultural settings, it is not casual at all. It requires permission. It signals […]

By Olusola Adeyegbr Human life is framed by a certainty we often push to the edges of our thinking: it will end. Death is not an interruption to life’s story. It is the boundary that gives the story its shape, earnestness, and meaning. We live on a rock spinning through space at astonishing speed, in […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe The Christian calendar unfolds like a journey walked with intention. Each season slows our pace, draws our attention, and gently shapes who we are becoming. From the quiet threshold of Pre Lent to the radiant light of Pentecost, the path leads through discipline, joy, surrender, and renewal, as living experiences that form […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe Laughter is one of the most unguarded human responses. We can control our words. We can curate our opinions. We can edit our public positions. But what we laugh at often slips past the filters. It reveals reflex before performance. And reflex tells the truth. What makes a person laugh says something […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe In 2017, I wrote a short piece titled Publish and Be Damned, at: https://samueli.blogspot.com/2017/01/social-media-news-moguls.html reflecting on the responsibility we carry whenever we share information. At the time, my concern was simple: too many people were in a hurry to be first, to forward unverified stories, shocking images, or slanderous claims, often hiding […]
