What I'm about: Jesus, wine & everything fine||About me: Content marketing specialist, Book reviewer & social media manager|| Motto: Necessitas non habet legem✨
I’ve seen at least 4 “I got the job!” tweets today and I’m honestly so happy for them. I’m taking seeing all these tweets as a sign that I’m next in Jesus name 🤍
I think one of the sweetest lines I've come up with in a birthday epistle was when i wrote something like
"I won't catch a grenade for you because I no no wetin carry you go there, but i go hold your hand run"
I still remember it and smile because there's hope for me in terms..
I don't mean to brag,
But I just grew the reach of this brand's Instagram page from 1000 to 11,000🤭
I also posted a reel that got more than 15k plays, which is 8k plays higher than their highest played reel.
Give me my flowers please 😌.
I promised myself I'll write a story/essay every month of 2024
I'm happy to announce that I just finished writing June's story 🥹🥹.
I know it's July but a win is a win, yeah?

U are really good 😮😮... Wish I had a friend this talented back in secondary school... Would have saved me from a lot of punishments and from going to assembly 😣😣
It just hit me that I've been offered jobs without applying and I keep rejecting them.
Yet I'm the one still looking for a job😂.
Sha, it's God when, not God anyhow.
Because what do you mean I should write about 60,000 words for 30k 👀?
Fear God please😑.
One thing getting a lot of rejections does for you is that it gives you mad audacity.
Like what's the worst that can happen?
The highest you can do is say no😂
@Philz_adamz
My thoughts on this matter is why she spoilt this story for me by spelling disease as decease😅😅
At that point, my brain processed it that she don knack ghost, till I reread it 😂
I took some lit pictures yesterday
And I feel like gatekeeping it and revelling in the fact that I've got these mad pictures of me in my gallery and nobody knows 🤭🌚
Writers, readers and artistic crackheads,
What do you say we organize a space & talk about
•The weirdest idea we've had
•The weirdest thing we've read or seen
•And general life philosophies
An intellectual amebo session 🌚.
Who knows?
Inspirations and collabs may arise.
I joined a class today and they were talking about storytelling frameworks
And I just discovered that some people don't know about storytelling frameworks and archetypes 🫥.
If you'd like me to talk about storytelling frameworks/archetypes,
Leave a comment 😊✨.
Whenever I ask this man if he has eaten and he says no, I get to work immediately.
I jump on Google and search how many days the human body can survive without food.
Then I come back and tell him how long he has before he dies of starvation 😊
Me 😌>>>>>>>>>>>

Service my calabash & drive straight to his house. Get in the kitchen to cook up a storm. Serve him a platter, kiss him while telling him to fatten up, then zoom back to my house.

Period diarrhea is enough to make me irritable throughout my monthly period. Do you know what it feels like to be purging unnecessarily??? Don't get me started on the back pain.
Cue in:
XY: I am monkey B1 B1
You: I am monkey B2 B2
XY: I am monkey B3 B3
You: I am monkey B4 B4
*Maniacal laughter from XY while pointing:
"You are monkey before before 🤣🤣"
You:
XY: I kill your one star
You: I kill your two star
XY: I kill your three star
You: I kill your four star
XY: I kill your five star
You: I kill your six star (sister)
What in God's name was that?!

In the last picture, This baby looks like he reincarnated and can't believe he's going to go through the stress of childhood again so he's manning up sooner than later
The one thing I'm unable to do:
Rereading a book/rewatching a movie
My brain is like what's the point?
You already know what's gonna happen at the end.
The few exceptions are comedy and movies that really slap
But books esp. fiction - nahh
I have an idea for socio medium growth,
But I'm scared to try it alone in case it flops or doesn't work as well as I hope 😭😭
Who's interested in jumping into this lagoon together?🫠

Ever since I started this book review job, I've noticed a certain pattern.
The worst books, and I mean the very worst,
Like, the "what the heck am I even reading? & "make it stop 😭"
kind of books I've reviewed, were all written by men.
Also, the best books I've reviewed...
Keep on creating
You may not get the kind of fame that leaves others in awe
Or the kind of money that makes you use cash as toilet paper
But your work could leave an indelible mark on one person's soul which they'd carry for the rest of their life
Wouldn't that be enough?
Last week was crazy 😅
So I manage 3 Instagram pages and make about 5-6 posts daily.
That was how I mistakenly posted the right content on the wrong account.
I tried archiving immediately I realized, but my phone started hanging 😭
The crisis was finally averted.
Next thing,
@ehienabs
Immediately I saw the setup and results, I was put off.
"You are being "classist"
Okay, am I right though?
Peter obi said "To answer your excellency, the process you go through must be excellent" and we all cheered, bookmarked etc
Please where's the excellence in this?
I went to a new church today, and the pastor kept dropping bars😂.
It was only grace & hunger that made me maintain composure throughout service.
'Cause if I'd heard another "somebody scream hallelujah", I for faint 🫠.
Anyway, here's a list of the top 5 bars I heard today 😌
Shades were thrown at prince, everybody laughed.
Shades were thrown at Erica, everybody laughed.
Bt immediately shades were thrown at ozo and nengi, it automatically becomes jealousy?
Make it make sense pls.
Y'all are just grasping at straws.

The day they called me out in assembly that I took first position overall in a school of about 2,000 students
I was now looking like a mad person
No button on my pinafore, etc

writing challenge ✨
I applied for a couple of jobs some weeks ago and got no response.
Sent a follow-up email today and got one response 😅.
What's the lesson of this story?
Send follow-up emails guys😁.
Better than the silence even if it ends up being a rejection.
Pro tip: wait at least a week
Nothing is more beautiful than being intentional about growth 🥹.
Invest in your career.
Invest in your family.
Invest in your relationships.
Ignorance or "that's how I was raised" is no longer an excuse.

Kudos to y'all writing a full length manuscript 🙌

This is more of a challenge 😁.

Kidd and Erica
The maturity wey go dey that love no go be here.
They both have mad ass comportment so shalaye no go much.
We live in an age where emotions are faked and everyone is afraid to say how they truly feel, all dying a lil inside and hiding behind parties and bad jokes to take the pain away😔
This reminded me of something I posted on my WhatsApp a while back😅
It's the story of the Israelites and the Gibeonites🤔.
So, this was the period when Israel was possessing their possession in the land of Canaan.
They were defeating kings and taking over territories.

i have been wanting to do something like this for a minute ,it’s a story I find rather fascinating,so brace yourselves it’s gonna be a thread.
When you read 2kings3
Israel had split into 2 kingdoms
Judah and Israel
Joram was king of Israel while Jehoshaphat was of King Judah…1/
I downloaded 80 short stories/essays this year.
After reading, here are the top 8 that made an impression on me.
This could have either been due to the writing style, plot structure, lesson or general creativity.
1. The unicorn by Emily Neuberger
Y'all remember this?🤭
Well I finished reading the stories yesterday and I'll be dropping links to the ones that really slapped 😊.
Heck, I got inspired after reading three so you might too.
Stay tuned 😁.

I downloaded 80 short stories from 25 different magazines which accept literary fiction.
The idea was to get an idea of what editors love to publish as well as explore different writing styles and ideas.
Here's what I discovered.
I fucking love Dora, that girl is underestimated, her emotional maturity and all.
What she's doing is what every female friend that cares about you truly will do.
I Stan a queen, my faves now include Dora❤️, laycon and Erica❤️

Buy a lot of other "side attractions".
Buy shawarma, chicken pies, pizza, ice cream and then suya.
Buy it at night or late evening.
Start eating, by the time you're on the pizza, you're full and sleepy and can only eat small suya.
BOOM! Leftover suya.

Day 3:
I don't like cooking. I appreciate the art but I hate the process.
I enjoy carrying out food experiments though 🫠.
I'll probably stop cooking when I find a man that loves cooking or when I start making the kind of money where I can order food with ease 🙂↔️.
Day 2.
Random fact about me: I don't eat hot food.
Most of my friends know this. Eating hot food hurts my stomach and makes me "purge"🫥.
One of the sweetest things my friends do is they usually dish my food before calling me over to come eat or wait till it's cool to call me.

Since it's world book day, I have an excuse to show off my little stash 😁.
It's bigger than this now, guess I need to take a new picture 🫠.
P.s: You won't find fiction here for personal reasons 🙂.

what their eyes saw and didn't think to consult God.
So I've added a new prayer point to my prayers; Lord, whatever my physical senses make me believe is the real deal but is not true, give me the spiritual vision to discern.
Today at the office, we kept hearing gunshots and everyone was panicking.
Road cleared and the only thing that kept going through my head was
"He that keepeth Israel does not sleep nor slumber 🙂↕️"
Spiritual purrrr🥹✨
So, I've noticed a trend 🤧;
Some of you here struggle with pronouncing or spelling my name.
So you either shorten it, or spell something abominable 😭
So please, if chinecherem is hard for you, call me sapphire.
Not chineche, not rem, not cherem
Please 😭🤲🏾.
I just finished writing the review for one book I was paid to review last week and I feel like I killed a lion 😩.
Me that wrote more than 20 reviews last year and read a total of 53 books
Now, I've only read about 15 books this year and we're already in second half 🥲
I wish I can say I remember the first day I met you,
But I don't.
My memory has always been one to play tricks right from childhood.
And a child I was...
Yes, wise beyond my years but a child nonetheless.
Because who else carries a crush for over 4 years straight?
Writing prompt Wednesday
Let's do something different 🌚
Write a letter about the first person you ever loved romantically.
Talking about why you fell in love with them, how and why it worked or didn't work out 🌚.
Amebo dey hungry me 🫠.
One day you’ll just close your eyes never to open them again, everything that’s a priority right now. That’s so important you give your self heart palpitations over won’t even matter. It’s kinda scary and exciting at the same time.
All this wahala for the XY chromosome 😪.

If I listen to "I'll be here" by Dunsin oyekan, I'll just have flashbacks of crying in the bathroom.
Those were troubling times.
One thing I know for sure eh
As real as the blood in my veins
Is the fact that I can never go hungry in this life.
As in, hunger can never come and see me at home 😂
I've fed nations, so there'll always be nations available to feed me 👍
I cannot go hungry 😌.
Would you allow your mechanic to treat you 👀?
Yet you want a social media manager, content creator and graphics designer, all in one🫠
The truth is that some of you don't use to fear God 😭
