“That’s why we JFK, join forces with the kings and we ate all day” – Rick Ross. According to Rick Ross, American Rapper and Multi-platinum selling hit maker; by “ate all day”, he meant unlimited success. So how do you JFK? One cold evening I was on an errand to the house of Mr. V.…
Isn’t it good? I quizzed this beautiful little girl on her comment about my dressing. I was wearing a crisply ironed shirt that I had tucked-in neatly. As far as I knew, I was more than ready to speak at a combined program of the Youth Fellowship & Youth Corps Service members in the Church.…
Kindly give me a moment to build a solid narrative. Here goes. Some people have asked me, “Dayo Abiola, how do you keep up with your consistency on social media and still work at creating world-class logos?” No doubt, the task of delivering one #logo is enough to take you days off social media.

One of the best work/life balance I’ve ever had was when I lived a 10 minutes walking distance away from the office. The perk of saying hello to lovely people as I walked on by till I get to the office was of immense value. I loved the walk. However, some days in the office…
“Come now, and let us reason together”. I’ve always been baffled by why the Almighty and infinite intelligence will make such a statement.
