Introduction?? Probably.

Pardon my manners, I forgot about first impression You see, when Olamide released “first of all”, I probably wasn’t paying attention to the lyrics because why would I forget to introduce my self every time I meet new people. i no too spoil, at least i better pass Vic'O career DISCLAIMER: don’t assume you know me simply because you’ve read this, even I see new versions of myself daily. Basically, the name is Habeeb Anuoluwa Boluwatife, an U-25, ravishingly handsome young Ijebu Man. I am a professional cleaner, business owner, young people enthusiast, a writer and a whole lot of things you probably don’t want to know. yes, this is what I look like. Thing is, I took to writing because lately, I noticed that histories are told by victor and those who have access to the internet, so I’ve decided to tell my story myself before y’all say I am God’s younger brother. I actually started writing because I came to realize writing about my experiences and feelings gave me closure and clarity. H...

On-Equally Yoked.

Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14 A few weeks ago, as always, a conversation broke out on X, formerly Twitter, about dating or marrying a person of another faith, as a Christian. This conversation, while necessary, has/is/and will always be an indictment on our churches and religious leaders, in this case, pastors and parents, because this should be something your daddy, mummy and Sunday school teacher should explain why the bible says you shouldn’t be unequally yoked in marriage. you don’t know keh?? source: tenor                                     Proverbs 22:6 – “ Train up a child in the way he should go: And when he is old, he will not depart from it. ” The first argument against unequal yokes is the difference in religious convictions and systems. I lived with...

Who Dey Use Umbrella Block My Inspiration?

Wrote this piece 22nd of December, 2023 Hi It’s been a long time since you last saw me, no vex, I went to receive “Abido Shaker” from Odumeje.  Actually, that was a lie, life has been showing me 70 positions in less than 7 minutes. Jesus please save me😭 Today I’ll be talking about something that basically all creatives hate but all of us have in varying proportions, mental block .  The other day, I was talking with Tife and I said that my next article would be on the mental block that most creatives face. And she was like “You are a child of God, you shouldn’t have a block.”  She might be right, she might be wrong. But then, how will I build a house without a block?? mon tun gbe yin debe The thing is, mental blocks happen to even the best of us. 2022 was the year I was infatuated with poems and spoken word poetry, so I attempted to write a poem. My brain got stuck so bad that I can’t even remix ‘My Mother’.  So I did a little bit of word play and named it ‘Writers B...

I Love You, So I Have To Leave You.

Wrote this piece, 16th of April, 2024.   I think I’ve said it before that I am a pretty laid-back guy. I’ll take anything from you except when you threaten my sanity. I saw this meme recently, and it prompted this piece.  Saying people only leave, in this context, abandon, people they are using is grossly untrue and a poor attempt at excusing personal responsibility. It belongs to the same group chat as “she is a woman, ignore her,” and “she, and occasionally he, doesn’t know what they are doing”.    @theladymotara on X (30/01/2025) This week, at the expense of jobs and tasks I needed to do, I decided to go through my contact and blocked list on WhatsApp, and I realised that I do not have the circle of friends, should I say acquaintances, that I brag with anymore. lmao, my social skill is gone, but then, I digress. Anyway, back to the issue at hand, I’ve had to leave friends, partners, lovers, even family members I actually love, because if I can’t be confident you w...

Ah💔, I’m cooked

What in the name of misandrist feminism did I just read?? 😭 dem don traumatize me😭 First off, sorry this is a bit late but then, this new year has been equal parts hectic and rewarding. So, you’ll have to bear with me whether you like it or not. (I’m joking guys, I love you) I love you guys, now send tukay🥲 Thing is, I’ve been reading “The List” by Yomi Adegoke and I am imagining myself in Micheal’s situation. So, any of the girls I’ve ever teased/offended can just put my name in a blacklist of sexual offenders at anytime    just to score revenge points. Ah mogbe 🙆‍♂️ shouts in ptsd😨 Basically, Grace can add my name because of the jokes I’ve shared with her. Odunayo, my landlord’s daughter, can write a thread on Obasanjo internet for harassment when the reality was  a mutually consensual touching ; I mean, she has done it before. Oluwatosin could easily accuse me of sexual assault. Boluwatife can accuse me when gaslighting her when all I did was to ask her out. Anuol...

2023 Roundup

It is the end of the year!!! Honestly, it has been a rollercoaster year. I have delayed writing this for days now because I believe the year is not over for me yet. Now, the end is here, so let's get this done with. Honestly, it has been a rollercoaster year. I have delayed writing this for days now because I believe the year is not over for me yet. Now, the end is here, so let's get this done with. a rare picture of me at a public speaking engagement, actually that was a scene in OUAF. I’ve had cause to visit a therapist/ seek professional help several times this year but it was worth it.  I’ve had to cut off several relationships (family, friends, business) and I am glad I did.  I’ve been down bad, like deadass broke but God has been coming through for me each time I have a need.  Majority of my acquisitions this year have been with other people’s money and I am grateful.  how I spend other people's money I am not an entertainer but this year, 80% of the events I’v...

Plans, Purpose and Milestones.

  This is a 2023 roundup for THA Cleaners. When I was starting THA cleaners , I had a clear cut aim: provide well paying part time jobs for young individuals. How to go about it, I didn’t know. (P.S I still don’t know how ) So I mapped out what was meant to be our milestone for the first 2-3 years.(find attached) My letter today is two pronged. One: Plans Change. Be sensitive to notice the changes and be flexible enough to bend with the changes without losing your original form. We started out as a cleaning company but this year, we’ve done cleaning, laundry, moving, logistics, branding and even publicity. Thing is, our major goal is to provide temporary jobs, that is why it is first on our checklist. So, we would undergo any job that would help us achieve our primary goal without losing our form which is cleaning. Also, in our milestones, we had plans to start branching out to other cities by the end of the fist year but by the end of the fifth month, we realized that that would u...
