The Goodies Of My Breakfast Experience
I could recall the feeling of the first time I was served breakfast. 💔The feeling brought out the Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka in me and what did I do next?. I bought higher education (note books) and started writing poems. That was when I discovered.That what you ask? That i can write poems incredibly well! Yes, you heard me right. Breakfast exposed the Poet in me.🤔😎. I wrote on all the pages of note books I got and even bought more. It was not funny at all.
That was when I knew the lyrics to R&B love/ heartbreak songs ever produced.
I was depressed and at a point suicidal, yes it was that bad.(This was prolly the first time my family will be seeing this yo know)
I was an intern with a Radio Station in Ikoyi at the time.
Because I wanted to cry I will alight at Obalende so as to have ample opportunity and time to cry while walking. I did that for like 3months straight up.
I did not care about who was looking, I would cry and be talking to myself on a major road.
Then when I get to the office, I will go to the toilet clean up and put up the usual cheerful appearance, join them in the studio, pretend all was well, till I get home to cry myself to sleep again.
Then one day, I listened to a particular song. It’s not even a Christian song just a nor( a circular song)This is a song that I had listened to countless times but the meaning never registered before now😲. That song gave me 1001 reasons why the person doesn’t worth all the trouble I’m putting myself through.
I was able to survive that ordeal but it took me years,Yes! you heard me right
Y-E-A-R-S.
Years of asking myself what I did wrong?Years of blaming myself for falling so hard and ignoring so many red flags.
Years of …
Now along the line I realized that, why it took that long was because, I didn’t open up to anybody. I bottled up my feelings even my family did not know what I was going through. I put up a cheerful front for all and sundry but deep down I was hurting seriously. Thank God for music🎵🎶🎶 hmm!
Will I ever fall in love again? of course yes! Will I ever get heartbroken like that ? Nah!Over the years I have learnt the act of accepting dealing with issues.
I have learnt that life comes with its own ups and downs.
Bottom line is na everybody go chop breakfast.Your ability to accept, heal and move on makes you a stronger person. It meant to teach you a lesson or two about life and humans. Because once beaten. 1001 shy!

Tinubu Doesn’t Trust Me – Cubana Chief Priest
Socialite and businessman Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has claimed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu does not fully trust him because of his previous support for Peter Obi during the 2023 presidential election.
The celebrity barman made the remarks during a livestream session with popular streamer Peller in a video that surfaced online on Wednesday.
Speaking partly in pidgin English, Cubana Chief Priest said the president still views him with suspicion because he openly backed Obi and the Labour Party in the last election.
“President Bola Tinubu no really trust me as an Igbo man that I am. He look me with one eye because he believes that this one that worked for Peter Obi before at the last election,” he said.
The businessman, who currently serves as the Imo State Coordinator of the Pro-Tinubu City Boys Movement, explained that he later switched allegiance because he did not want to remain on the losing side politically.
Asked why he abandoned Obi’s camp, he replied, “Because I don’t want to lose again because they say first fool no be fool, na the second fool be proper fool.”
Cubana Chief Priest was among prominent entertainers who openly campaigned for Obi and the Labour Party before the 2023 elections. He has since aligned himself with the ruling All Progressives Congress and President Tinubu.

Erling Haaland Makes Acting Debut In Animated Film
Erling Haaland will follow in the footsteps of David Beckham and Vinnie Jones by taking his first steps into the acting world, with the Norwegian striker set to make his film debut.
The Manchester City striker will voice a character described as ‘an animated version of himself’, in the upcoming animated film Viqueens.
This is according to the Hollywood Reporter, who say that the 25-year-old is playing a Viking called Haaland in the motion picture.
The adventure-comedy is directed and co-written by the award-winning Harald Zwart, the Norwegian director known for The Karate Kid and Agent Cody Banks.
‘As a Norwegian storyteller making a Viking adventure for a global audience, having Erling Haaland join feels incredibly exciting,’ said Zwart.
‘Erling has already become a kind of real-life Viking icon around the world – powerful, fearless and uniquely Norwegian.
‘Bringing him into this universe as himself gives the film an unexpected energy and authenticity that felt completely right for this story.’
Solveig Langeland, managing director of Sola Media, added: ‘Erling Haaland transcends sports – he’s a global cultural figure.
‘His involvement brings another exciting dimension to a film that already combines international adventure, humour, and emotional storytelling in a way we believe will resonate with audiences everywhere.’
He follows the likes of Beckham and Jones, who have already hit the cinema screens around the country.
Beckham made his silver screen debut in his pal Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur back in 2017 alongside film stars Charlie Hunnam and Eric Bana, playing hardened battleguard Trigger in the flick.
Meanwhile, Jones is known for portraying gangsters on screen, and as recently as 2024 played gamekeeper Geoff in Ritchie’s series The Gentlemen, featuring Theo James.
He famously also played Coach Dinklage in She’s the Man, and was The Juggernaut in X-Men: The Last Stand.
Haaland may need a while before he becomes the big actor that Jones has become, though, with plenty of years on the pitch still ahead of him.
The striker’s focus will currently be on winning the Premier League with Manchester City, as they look to hunt down Arsenal, who are two points ahead at the top, with two games to go.
Haaland will next be in action on Tuesday night as they travel to Bournemouth.
