1 minute, please?

thankfully, I’m not writing this from my cell block cos I was found not guilty and all charges have been dropped. But to think that things could have gone south. like: what if I didn’t have these people to thank for convincing the judge I’ve been a good boy? (https://jollofwrite.substack.com/p/coming-soon) you’ll probably never hear from me again and think I broke up with you without saying a word. except I luckily have an inmate who sneaked in a phone I could borrow to write to you every week. you’ll eat this Jollof-Write every week without the slightest idea I’m cooking from jail. back to reality, no one is going to jail. this isn’t the first time I’ll get falsely accused. The other day it was Okiki telling the world how I sneaked into her room, without her permission (https://jollofwrite.substack.com/p/1-minute-please-you-were-in-my-room) this time around Ella (the 16-year-old) accused me of killing something so precious to her. If you listened (the audio) to her statement here’s what got her triggered: “Today’s Jollof-Write is a bit bitter, but sometimes life throws us lemons and the best thing to do is to just (forget about making lemonades) suck all the meaning that’s left.” but who would think a statement I made in what i wrote about my late uncle (https://jollofwrite.substack.com/p/hes-gne-so-what-now ) would be used by Ella (now ex-friend)—to haunt me? Like, really? anyway, I’m good and without waking up to iron bars in front of me. We’d talk soon. cheers to the weekend. have fun, avoid friends like Ella, and do imaginable things. okay? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tobitotheworld/message

“I feel sometimes we may be working, doing our best, and we may not be feeling our best, or we might not feel appreciated or we might start to doubt ourselves—if it’s worth it or if we’re good enough” — Ridah, 2021 (after 30 mins of doubting if her UI/UX skills would ever get better). Here’s the post that made her make such statement: https://jollofwrite.substack.com/p/1-minute-please-you-made-me-laugh --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tobitotheworld/message

1 thing I’ll always do as much as I breathe is showcasing my foodie-readers who leave reviews. It’s the least I can do for patronizing my FREE Jollof-Write every week. But don’t eat alone. Share this podcast with a friend today! Thanks Okiki. Ps: the write up she talked about: https://jollofwrite.substack.com/p/job-forms-annoy-me Back to you. Let me know if you also feel the same way when you read it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tobitotheworld/message

If you guessed my woman? You’re on point 👍🏽 If there’s anything I’m sure of doing with my life other than being with this woman—it’s chasing a career in writing. To brag (I know I’m supposed to say “not to brag”) — I’ve picked up this writing art faster than my imagination. And now I fart (cos it’s bad for my system) when I see writing of people I used to look up to. I now understand that people can be years ahead of me in xyz and still not be as great as I thought. That being said, currently, the hard part is getting people to hire me for their writing headaches. You heard the Queen in the audio—I gotta put food on the table!
