Dear Confused Self













Your humming come from a place of uncertainty
Uncertainty about two rights and no rights
like the heroine cast in the chase of both enemies; momentarily lost in what to do and not

I hold still like the cat of the nine lives
but almost at the edge of the four legged wood
When the weight of fear engulfs me
The me held beneath the sea of indecision 
of losing what I have to chase dreams unbeknownst  to me
I shudder like a lizard caught in the monsoon rains
Because I fear who I am... and will

My heart bleeds with tears- hot like the blacksmith axe
I am lost
Indecision assails me
Bankruptcy restricts me
Emotions debilitates me
Fear grips me
Friends scorn 
Family questions

Will I become a laughing stock?
To keep face with stiff smile
While my heart becomes of a stone

But I do not want to be lost
Please help me...

Faux-Intellectuals and How to Pepper Dem. A Smart Woman View of Big Brother Nigeria 2019

BBNaija 2019 Have you ever been judged for indulging in guilty pleasures? I certainly have. My friends have been questioning me lately about my love for Big Brother Nigeria (BBN). Most times, I am at a loss of what and how to reply to them without going into my usual pentecostal and energetic reply, so instead, I ignore them. But here's the thing: I'm tired of being put on the spot and made to feel like I have to defend myself. These questions range from “what do you see in BBN” to “how can you waste your time watching this. In reality, what they seem to mean with their words is - “How can someone as intelligent as you waste time on something as trivial as BBN?" It's like they have this delusion of grandeur as if their own intellectual pursuits make them better than those who enjoy mainstream entertainment" Who decided that being intelligent means you can't also enjoy popular culture? Why can't we be both smart and socially engaged?

Context: The Missing Plug in Target Audience Conversion,

Target Audience Conversion in Marketing   The words ‘target audience’ has been so loosely used in marketing parlance today, that its true meaning has been overshadowed by the fanciful use of this term. It has become more than just a buzzword; it is almost like an entry pass to some marketing big boys club. This is, however, not intended to underestimate the importance of target audience in marketing, it is to say that just like rice and stew, there are other indices and factors equally important, if not more- in the success of a marketing campaign. Indeed, if it is solely omnipotent, why then does it seem like the people we term our target audience – who have been unjustly compelled to be the elixir of our business success, whether a service or a physical product– do not often convert. Please note that every business should have a buyer persona(s), if you don’t, then get down to it.  This is very dicey, because conversion strategies can take many forms – going for a scheduled meeti

With hybrid and remote work becoming the new norm, employee engagement has become a challenge for many organizations. As a company with a diverse workforce of millennials, Gen Z, and baby boomers, Duch Digital Media (DDM) faced similar struggles.
