By Olusola Adeyegbe It is easy to blame the phone. The endless scrolling, the constant notifications, the reflex of reaching for it in silence. But the deeper truth is less about technology and more about avoidance. The phone has simply become a convenient hiding place. Many people do not pick up their phones because they […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe Across cultures and centuries, a simple truth keeps resurfacing. Eloah (Hebrew) • Alaha (Aramaic/Syriac) • Allah (Arabic) Different linguistic expressions that trace back to a shared Semitic root referring to the one God. Shalom aleichem (Hebrew) • Shlama (Aramaic) • As-salamu alaykum (Arabic) Different greetings across related languages, each carrying the same […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe There is a quiet pressure many are carrying today. It does not always show on the surface, yet it sits heavily within. Rising costs, persistent obligations, uncertain inflows. Outwardly, life continues. Inwardly, there is strain. Financial stress is not only about numbers. It is emotional. It weighs on the mind, disrupts sleep, […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” These words were spoken in the midst of pain, injustice, and betrayal. However they were not words of defeat. They were words of power. Forgiveness can appear counterintuitive. We are conditioned to respond, to defend, to retaliate. To hold on. To prove […]

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 […]
