TONI CHUKWUIWU

In my school days, I was into faculty politics, I was president, paved way for the yahoo boys then in my department to approach me with their academic problems, that's because before then I dabbled into all sorts for survival, I took tutorials and did assignments for people. I was basically one of the few go to persons for your academic resuscitation.  I started hanging out with them, I knew it was only temporary because the life of yahoo boys is that they associate with you only because you offering them help, once they've gotten enough, they evade you. In this sojourn, I learnt so much. Yahoo life is like the Igbo apprenticeship style, one young novice comes to a renowned yahoo boy's house and serve [literally like houseboy shit] while learning He will clean the toilet, as well as entire house, go to the market, cook, go errands and fetch water. He does this even when ejanla has a girlfriend.  Now here is the real deal, this Sport will still be calming himself with the i...

It appears as if I'm always talking about this, I realize I'm always thinking about this, when the grass is at the first stage of its growth, It's always greener, so was how I saw the picture then, great happiness,  an unending one indeed, now I'm here staring at its ghost, wondering how I could still gaze at it with my naked eyes. It's not easy to stare at it, you see horror, you see your pain, you see torture, you see the efforts put in, you see a once unending desire, you see dashed hope, your eyes 👀 have seen it all, but it's not going away, the ghost is crying, shedding tears, expecting your help, infact crying for your help but you are numb from the sight, what seemed ever green, is dead before your eyes and you are powerless to help. How it began: When an answered prayer reminds you of a human being, When a man is fine and still gives you money 💰, When a woman knows the heart of her man. Those can cast a ...

Fantastic Abe 💁‍♀️, full name is Abena, she was driving me crazy, the only beautiful girl I ever saw in Kaduna, she is actually from Ghana 🇬🇭 yet she makes my heart do a rabona 🤸‍♀️, it's been more than a year since we've met but it feels like yesterday, are you sure it's not "Iya Basira". The way it is for me, even when I'm sad, I see her and it all goes away, she has my button, she is the girl of my dreams, Abena, "na only you I go love ❤". I prayed for this, I prayed for you, I told God, I want a woman, a real woman, that would understand me from inside out, you walked into my life and I have never looked back ever since, I would like us to end up together, am I moving too fast? I would want to spend my money on you, am I going crazy? Every plan I have for my life has you in it, I would go any length for you. Abena, this is the last confession piece I will drop in recent time and I want you to read it and know it's ...

There is something about me, when I have this constant memory or thoughts, the therapy is to write about it, when I do that, it eases off. I thought about writing this one down, but not to ease it off, woah! I never want it to go away. The memory is my strength 💪, it is what I resort to when I want to make decisions, when I'm bored, when I have nothing else that makes me smile 😃  and above all else, when you are not around for a long while. It all started when I went to eat after a long day of chasing shadows in the marketing job I got myself into, the numbers were not adding up, my intestines were not having it, my head was acting and my body was telling me I needed to feed, I went to the back of the plaza I work at, to grab some bite and there you are, I would like to concoct the cliché "and the rest was history" but it's not and that's why I pick up my pen to scribble this amazing story. I gazed my eyes 👀  on this beauty f...

I have this stuff in my mind that I am curious about, can you help me out?  I have this paradox that I can't seem to place. I will try as much as possible to paint you the picture of what I mean, translate the picture 📸 into a question then find me an answer.  There is this discombobulation about population that I can't seem to figure out. Please read attentively because you must help me out! 🙄 My case study is Nigeria 🇳🇬,  a country said to be about 200 million people, the most populous country in Africa. Nigeria 🇳🇬, a country renowned for its level of poverty, and at the same time for how industrious her citizens are. This population is said to be reducing, the "japa" wave and the mass exodus of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and of course the investors. When you visit Nigerian Immigration Service Offices in various states, you will encounter various applicants who are plotting their exit from this once great country, when ...

Ladies and gentlemen behold the moment has come, I type with heaviness in my chest and with a shaky hands, with bruised ego, low morale and a bitter taste in my mouth. People, good people, what you all keep saying has happened, I want to share my tiny experience. I lay awake in my bed, wide awake, my heart kept beating like it is going to blow out from my rib cage, I kept wondering, was I too harsh, I kept hating myself for going too soft, I kept asking why I don't have alternatives, why focus on one case that keeps making me sweat through the cold, laugh through the pain and hide from the crowd. I didn't know the answers to my current predicament, I was pissed at myself, I was trying to get over my situation, worst is that I was worried if I was wrong, I was heart broken 💔.  I used to like myself, I'm a shrewd personality, I'm a calculative person, very assertive, very intentional, I still like myself, heck, those qualities are not gone, just that I can't apply th...

Sometimes you stay up, pondering on the journey called life, going over the decisions you've made but not necessarily with regrets, thanking God for his presence all through. Sometimes you realize that you have all it takes to be great but you look around and you don't feel that greatness therein. Sometimes you go through all these thought processes alone with the concerns that no one would understand or the inclination that no one is there. I went about my day like it was normal, I did do some unusual fun activity but I didn't have fun, I pretended to be living my dream, I was superficially happy, I laughed at the jokes and smiled at the gestures, it was as if I was acting a movie 🎬. It was better there than nowhere, I felt I was getting used to staying indoors, don't get me wrong I love staying indoors but the thoughts of getting too used to it awakens me from my sleep, I had to step out more often, I'm not an introvert I tell myself, go out, you could meet peopl...

My mom taught me that unrequited love is suicidal, that should be approximately 10yrs ago, I held it that way, not a single word class did I forget, because I don't want to kill myself by myself. 

In this my journey with God, I have been faced with lots of challenges and some sorted and some didn't. I have always told God that I trust him with my life and destiny, that means that wherever he is taking me, I'm willing and consent to go. It's down to even a tiny stuff like Even when my plans are not working the way I thought they should, even when I have any cause to worry, heck even when my relationship or love life struggles, I just sit there, fold my arms and trust him to align me.

Thank God I'm not gay, Jesus thank you I'm not a Pedo, thank God I'm not a woman wrapper. God, can I believe you that I'm not a flirt? Cuz I'm not too sure. 🥺

Politicians and cold Zobo are like 5 & 6. Frank Nweke Jr told my pastor that Obasanjo during his regime told the Governor of Enugu that time that he (The governor) should give him (OBJ) the best brain in Enugu. The Governor gave him Frank Nweke II and OBJ made him the minister of info. Frank Nweke II, I love you but this your Zobo cold abeg Chai 😍

One thing about Kings is that they don't serve, they are humble but they don't serve. The 💯 million dollar question is; are you a king? Just tell me no jeje let me move on, this motivational speaking thing ne'er dey give me money yet, I no wan dey waste too much time on am.

Kids, "I pass my neighbor" generator is now N50K during my days, it was sold for N13K to N15K, even Pepsi bottle 50cl was sold for N40 and Coke bottle was sold for N50. 2 days ago, I had the opportunity to see 50cl Coke for N120, when last have you tasted bottle Coke? Long & short of it is that, the taste differs tremendously from the plastic one, when I tasted it, I felt like I was still in Benin 🇧🇯 Republic. Life was good then, no be child's, imagine comparing Can Amstel with bottle Amstel? Shey you dey whine me ni 🙄😒 Anyways thats all for now, if you have any further confusion, talk to me, I am always here to guide you. 😁 In a bit ✌🏽

"Just look around And all of the people that we used to know Have just given up, they wanna let it go But we're still trying... So you should know this love we share Was never made to die I'm glad we're on this one-way street Just you and I" This 👆🏽never gets old 🥰

Left of you is one random fine girl asking you "what do you really want from me" like she is gonna say yes, waiting for you to cap, ka o wuo gi n'ala 😀

I was looking at the chicken 🐔 next thing, it has started turninonion upside down, I looked closer, I saw a snake-like you know... The thing crawled up to it and scxiii on its jugular vein, blood begin psst out. Omo, I took cover, expressed shock, tip toed closer to collect eye witness report. Next thing I saw was this human being, carrying painter bucket with hot water inside, the vapour coming out of it, baba carry this chicken that has cooled down by now, the cold hands of death has gently smooched it into a deep slumber. Immediately baba raised the chicken, that he did not know what killed o, from the hot water and started preparing it for evening meal. That's when i knew there is hunger.

Don't leave me in all this pain Don't leave me out in the rain Bring back the nights when I held you beside me Un-break my heart Say you'll love me again Undo this hurt you caused When you walked out the door And walked out of my life Un-cry these tears I cried so many nights The best breakfast song ever

A certain Pastor to Congregation: we are going to be having a revival service session by 5pm on Monday. A certain member of the church: ah ah... tomorrow no be sit at home? Me no go come o, I go dey with my boyfriend all day long, spending quality time.  To be continued...

You think you are having challenges in this country? People are being killed by missile attack in Ukraine, Someone is queuing for 10 days just to get half tank of fuel in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰, Hunger wan finish some children for Haiti. In all these, we give God praise that we still have hope in this country.

It's a still water, calm as calm can be, there comes the turbulent wind, took the gentle nature of what once stood still, not because there is why but because it can. The pain it caused, the disruption of a course and further destruction therein. I stood there, watching, in awe, there came a silent voice, in an inaudible whisper, shouted in a very low tone, "ride with the wind". "Don't chose the victim" "ride" That's when I realized...

I am like Jesus, I like to sleep amidst the storm, I like to cut off unproductive branches, I like to curse unyielding plants, I chase disobedient people away from my space with 2by2. I am like Jesus, I want to author and finish faith, I want to raise the dead and heal the sick, deliver those who are in the bondage of the evil one.  I am like him, the one who was, is and still is to come, the one that call those things that be not as if they were, the good Shephard. I am like Jesus, i want to say talitha cumi and she lives, come forth and and the rottening man fix up, ephpheta and the deaf-mute of Decapolis receives his senses. It can only be Jesus, He washes feet, He gave his life as a gift, Reaches out to you, to come oh ye who are heavily ladened.
