Growth is undeniably an important aspect of life. The truth is that once a living thing stops growing, chances are that it begins to die. Physical growth may seem normal, and like the usual thing to happen but we have come to learn that a couple of things influence physical growth. Because physical growth is one that is very obvious, we tend to...

He said "..looking at you I could see Janette Ikz" To start with,if you don't know who Janette Ikz is, pause, go search for her on Google but make sure you come back to finish reading this. Anyways, Janette is my number one spoken word poet. She inspires me a whole lot. Back to the original story, receiving that compliment was really a...

What value do you place on yourself,on your time? Your worth in your own eyes is what you will be able to demand in the market. In your heart,you secretly know whether you can be trusted or whether you are worthwhile.That is your value! Until, you in your own heart, recognize your honesty and worth, you will never come to a level where...

"I am a divine project Not to be abandoned I am a divine project Never to be abandoned I am a contract to my God He will NEVER abandon me..." I don't remember exactly if it's this song that inspired this post or the post reminded me of the song. This is one song that reminds me of home, church and specifically children's...

There's pressure everywhere. From 'friends' to 'family' to even 'yourself'. There's this unspoken and sometimes spoken standard of what you should look like, speak like, wear, when you should get married, wait, I think I got too fast, there's even pressure on when you should have a boyfriend, hmm! But how low can you go? Your life is special, you are unique! The...

This song popped up as a suggestion on my YouTube feed and I've been hooked on it since then. We all want to be happy and daily we are this pursuit of happiness. None of us has ever lived before and on our own, we're navigating through life blindly.  One other thing with humans is that we keep doing the things that hurt...

Helllo! What's up you guys? Hope you had a great week and month in general. Today's post is way over-due. I've been posting it in my mind only so today I decided to just let it out. I've had lots of people ask me questions about "KAYDO" so this is me answering them. To start with, my name is Gift Oghenekohwodo Ogwa and...

The other day I was walking with a bunch of my group mates and one of them says "why are these people staring at us?" The truth  is that no one is staring but every time we take a walk, he perceives that someone is staring at him. Well, that most often is the case with us, just, from a different perspective. We...

Life happens to us all at different times. It shows us how beautiful, colourful and painful it can be all at the same time. No matter how much we try to cover it up, wear smiles, keep our chin up, inside our shoes, our socks may be slipping. Growing up in church, I remember hearing this quite often 'whatever makes you cry at...

It was 2 am and as usual, I was asleep but that was right up till something felt different. There was a wind just in my room and the wind seemed to have a voice, it was talking to me. I could clearly hear it speak to me and I was sure beyond a shadow of doubt that it was God confirming His...

Only a few people have touched my heart the way you have. Only a few people can make me smile.

We're almost birthday mates BUT We get to be age mates on one day every year And I like it. You're...

I pledge to Nigeria my country, their country My country just when I need a permit to be absent on the 1st of October Their country when they talk about misused resources My country when names like Chimamanda Adichie or Aliko Dangote resound from afar Their country when it's discussions on electricity I don't go to far, I just claim Ghanaian but they...

Hi Everyone!!! It's the weekend and ummm, I don't know about you but I cherish my weekends because I get to spend some more time writing! And hanging with one of my good buddies, Helen. Life is beautiful and people add colour to life; bright, dark, shady, popping. The diversity of people is what makes life interesting. I'm pretty sure that more than...

It was a warm Wednesday afternoon. I was in a taxi on my way home. Too tired to carry a conversation with my group-mates, I slowly wandered into the field of thoughts. Looking out the car window, my eyes rested on a pretty lady, one whom I had said 'hi' to more than once. My face had beamed smiles to her some time...

Sometimes we get to that point where we annoy ourselves, where step on our own toes. Forgiving ourselves can be pretty difficult because of the high expectations that we have for ourselves. Today I just want to encourage you to let go and allow the Holy Spirit to heal you. p.s: Do subscribe to my YouTube channel. It's Kaydo ...

If you think that someone isn't beautiful because of how you think they look Or believe that you're beautiful just because of how your face looks, Then you've been looking through the wrong lenses Your vision clouded by thoughts not true For true beauty is more than skin deep. It reflects from within the soul It precedes from a heart of gold True...

All I do is mix a little sugar with the medicine Put a little flesh and skin on them skeletons Hidden deep down in my cupboard's crevices Look on me and you see no blemishes I'm not Ed Sherann but I'm thinking out loud As I'm sitting up high and feeling so fly About all you low class moving on with the crowd...

Matthew 6:10"..thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven"  If you've been in a church for a while, you should be at least familiar with 'The Lord's Prayer'. Sometimes, I think that we've said these words so often that we've lot sight of what exactly they mean and the heart behind them. One line that always gets my attention in...

Usually, everyone prefers to live in their comfort zone. Come to think of it, no one really wants to live an uncomfortable life. This is not just because of the uncertainty that clouds the outside and the fear that grips you just thinking about it. It is partly because we have learnt to live life by set rules and defined boundaries have held...

Happy new month everyone!!! Wow! It's September already. Like for real this year is almost over. I wish you all a blessed and exciting month. Well, my holiday is over so classes begin. Hmmmmm! 'happy', 'sad', 'excited', 'nervous'. I am just a bunch of mixed feelings. I still kinda wish for one extra month break but that month isn't coming. First year wasn't...

Just yesterday, I had just written a couple of articles. My week was planned and then I found myself thinking, 'what do I do next week?' What!! It was  just Sunday!!! Within, I felt the Holy Spirit nudge me and say me, 'trust me, one step at a time' God will always keep His word. If He said it, He'll do it. We...

We live in a time and age where people are less concerned about the source of where things come from. They'll rather just sit and enjoy a load of blessing and wouldn't care about who gives them. Most people don't really care how you get stuff, it's only important that you have possessions of some sort. Many churches teach that when the praises...

Hi guys! Happy new week. This is just something I want us to have in our minds as we go into the week. Our minds are constantly working. It's important that we have a shield around them and are careful about the kinds of thoughts that we allow in our mind and be conscious about what we meditate on. "A good man out...

One of my  favourite pastimes is watching videos on Youtube. Hair tutorials to be precise. On the days when I am quite energetic with nothing much to do, I make attempts at pulling off the hairstyles. Well, braiding my hair is one thing that I have always wanted to do but the thought of it alone kept scaring me off. A couple of days...

Hi there! Yay it's Monday. Well I can still be excited about Mondays because I'm still on holiday. The time off from school has offered me so much time to myself. I've time to sleeeeeeep zzzz's because sleep is one thing that is hard to come by once the session begins. So, I've given myself to more sleep. It's just been a little...

Damaged goods: Products that have are broken, cracked or scratched. Usually people don't go shopping for things that are broken or out of shape. In fact, when you buy something and discover that it isn't in the right shape, you return; when possible. It breaks my heart and I shed a little tear when I buy a pack of ice-cream; after careful selection...

Her fragrance brings smile to many. Her presence commands respect. Although she may not meet all needs, She clearly can quench wants. She's a gift, a reward. She's a trainer, a steward. She's like wine, she's like poison A beautiful sunshine, a night-time melody. By herself, she is neutral She absorbs her personality from you. She loves to work but she won't, Except...
