1 Minute, Please?

This is a 1 minute podcast about life grabbing you and i by the balls. If any of the episodes are beyond 1 minute, please report to the nearest police station. 1 minute, please? Sometimes, you have to look back, to see how far you’ve come. — The Rewind My new writing friend (The Rewind), with 1000 subscribers. I like to see her as the therapist you should have called first and the last you’ll ever need. She writes a lot of thought provoking pieces that helps me be grateful. But really, sometimes we forget to be grateful and in those times we need friends who can remind us. Speaking of being grateful, I have this virtual basketball space where I hang out on the internet with other warriors’ fans to discuss basketball. But what ends up happening is, it usually ends up being about deep meaningful conversations. Today’s episode features Rich, who is also the founder of that virtual basketball space, which is also one of the biggest warriors virtual fan bases with over 169k YouTube subscribers, 3k Substack subscribers, and 133k twitter followers. And it's always a joy hanging out there. It feels good to connect with someone Like (Rich) who I see myself in. Someone who has done exceedingly well for himself on the internet. And someone who I inspires me to build my own thing on the internet. And it just feels good connecting with such persons and from the podcast that is attached to this write-up. I wish he would be kind enough to listen. In this episode, he shared how that he once was living on food stamps and he couldn't even afford so many things of life. He was trying to get somewhere that he knew his 9-to-5 job couldn't. And so he struggled for years. “you’re right where you need to be” — Rich Hearing such people's stories and seeing where my story connects with theirs is motivating and empowering to keep my eyes glued on what I'm trying to do here with Jollof Write and writing, in general. Hopefully, I'm able to create my own stage where I can bring together people who are hungry for the same ideas that I'm hungry about. Exchange ideas and dissect them in real time. And even create articles based off of those conversations. I hope that one day I'm able to get to that place where some of my friends on the internet are right now in their journey. I’m grateful I’m able to document these moments. Shout out to YOU for reading this article and reading all the other articles. It means a lot to me and it gets me one step closer to what I'm trying to achieve with Jollof-Write. So, thank you for always being here and I do hope you listen to the audio. And if you prefer, watch the video HERE. Stay hungry. 👍🏽 Frequently listened to: help Jollof-Write give FREE food to the community by pledging your support or Buy Jollof-Write a Coffee New here? join 300+ customers getting FREE delicious meals delivered to their screen👇🏽 Care to share?👇🏽 Get full access to Jollof-Write👨🏽‍🍳✍🏽 at jollofwrite.substack.com/subscribe

This is a 1 minute podcast about life grabbing you and i by the balls. If any of the episodes are beyond 1 minute, please report to the nearest police station. 1 minute, please? Ps: I can’t spell “procrastinate” correctly to save my life. Please, Ignore the typos. A friend (Dare) posted his frustration on WhatsApp Status saying: Procastination is a b***h, because… Why did it take me less than ten minutes to do something that I procastinated for two weeks? It’s….It’s a b***h, really. And I thought to myself, yes, it’s a b***h because it makes you do stuff you don’t even want to do. Like doom scrolling on TikTok when there’s an undone assignment and the deadline is in 2 minutes. Now, I’m left channelling my inner Usain Bolt and turning in the assignment at the last second. Procrastination is a sneaky little devil. It lures you in with promises of temporary relief, only to leave you drowning in a sea of regret. The longer you put off a task, the heavier it weighs on your mind like a constant nagging partner reminding you of what you should be doing instead of binge-watching Ice Bucket challenges on YouTube. This happens every time. But guess what? Just like Dare (audio attached), once I start to tackle that tedious task, I realize it wasn’t as bad as I made it seem. In fact, it probably takes less time to complete than all the hours I spent procastinating. It’s like ripping off a Band-Aid — painful at first, but once it’s done, you wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. So, why do we procrastinate? That’s a question that even God can’t answer for us. My best attempt is: As long as we can breathe, we can procastinate. *procrastinate 🤦🏽‍♂️ Maybe it’s fear of failure or it’s just laziness on-the-red-carpet? Whatever the reason, one thing’s for sure — Procastination is like every other addiction (drugs, sex, scrolling-tiktok-till-3am); you keep going back to it for no reason. But hey, recognizing the problem is the first step, right? Taking action is the second step, but we wouldn’t take that second step anyway, would we? procastination gone wrong: Frequently listened to: Get full access to Jollof-Write👨🏽‍🍳✍🏽 at jollofwrite.substack.com/subscribe

This is a 1 minute podcast about life grabbing you and i by the balls. If any of the episodes are beyond 1 minute, please report to the nearest police station. 1 minute, please? so this nigga whose voice you're hearing is actually a close friend, and he's one of those people that you don't even expect to distill such wisdom. i had no choice but to record this part of the conversation and share it. I feel it’s something we can all benefit from. a man that leaves the 99 to chase the ONE. Knowing fully well that ONE vessel can be so damaged that sometimes he uses them regardless. He knows what he's doing alone, so It’s best to leave it up to him. If you’re reading this, please listen to what my friend (Kenshin) said in this episode. For the English interpretation: something I realized recently is that someone can be casting out demons, healing the sick, but back home, can be the devil. when God gives gifts, only he knows why he gives them. Good people get the gifts, and bad people get the gifts. He doesn’t select how or to whom he gives it. For example, someone like David in the Bible, the atrocities he committed. If it was someone else, he’s probably hell-fire bound. What about Moses? With all the good things that he did, he still messed up in God's presence. My favourite example is Samson. He wasted his gift. So, someone can speak tongues, fight demons, perform miracles, and still be the devil. While God is still fixing them. Both truths can exist.

[In case you can’t download the clip above—you can read the conversation below] Kid: Is there a God? Dad: I don't know. Kid: Just tell me. Dad: I would if I could. But I don't know. Neither does anybody else. Kid: Roberta knows. Dad: No. Roberta has faith. And it's a great thing to have. Faith's about what you think, feel, not what you know. Kid: What about Jesus? Dad: Love that guy. Do what he says. Kid: Uh, is he God? Dad: I don't know. I have an opinion. But that's my opinion. I can be wrong. So why would I screw up yours? Dad: Use your head. But don't be afraid to believe in things either. The dad is the type of Christian I’m striving to become. One that isn’t afraid to be asked questions, also to question, and understanding that It's okay not to have all the answers. My walk with God has been as slow as a snail but I rather walk my walk than become a pawn in the hand of the religious interpretations of people. Just like the dad letting the son know God the most natural way and not beating it down his throat. au revoir ✋🏽 i thought debbie’s takes were beautiful.

This is a 1 minute podcast about life grabbing you and i by the balls. If any of the episodes are beyond 1 minute, please report to the nearest police station. 1 minute, please? one day in 2020, I ordered a ride going to church. got into the ride, and sat at the front because I hate my riders feeling small by sitting at the back. Usually, I sit in my rides without saying a word till I get to my destination. typical scenario: ME: *enters ride* ME: good, whatever-the-time-of-day-is Rider: hi bro ME: *quiet the entire trip* *reaches destination* Me: thanks Rider: you’re welcome. Abeg no forget give me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Me: ok. 9 out of 10 times, I forget to give the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ because I always leave wondering what that rider dreamed of becoming one day. maybe an astronaut? i bet the Emi Lo Kan economy must have drained the life out of the young man’s aspirations. The boy grows up and becomes an Uber driver. “From reaching for 5 stars to begging for 5 stars” - Ebuka Mic most of the riders leave thinking i’m a psychopath (for not saying anything throughout the trip) or my mouth is smelling. Whichever one they pick, God abeg I hope it’s the former. 🤲🏽 This one time, the Uber guy initiated a conversation with me: Let’s assume his name is “ADE”, my mom’s name is “Boritos”, and my surname is “Adebayo” (because my real surname sounds like a joke and there’s nothing funny about finding an uncle this way). *While the trip was on with Sunny Ade playing* ADE: bro, i saw on the app your last name is Adebayo Me: yes ADE: are you the son of Mrs Boritos Adebayo Me: yes ADE: do you know your mom is my sister? ME: that’s how i found my unknown Uncle in an Uber ride. You can guess how awkward the rest of the convo went. And yes, he’s actually my Uncle. to be fair to my mom, I’m not sure she knows all her siblings either. She comes from a highly polygamous family and her father was aggressively fertile (evidently). So let’s cut her some slacks. from that day, i vowed my idea of family must take an entirely different style. Hence the AUDIO attached to today’s meal—for your refreshment. my idea of family is to get old, still love Jesus, sit in rocking chairs with the 1 wife of my youth, be evidently fertile with ONLY her😉, and kids who won’t hide WhatsApp status from us.

This is a 1 minute podcast about life grabbing you and i by the balls. If any of the episodes are beyond 1 minute, please report to the nearest police station. 1 minute, please? “the thing that made you weird as a kid might make you great as an adult if you don't lose it.” those words (video attached) were what sparked this fire conversation by fire starter (Boma): the 1 minute, please? podcast had to break its rule of 1 minute for this one. It’s that good that once you listen to it—you don’t need to go to church this Sunday. if you can’t download the audio—you can read all she said below: so let me give you context, right? So growing up, I had been called talkative. In fact, you know how when you're growing up, they say go and be a lawyer, right? I wish somebody had directed me to mass communication. but in our parents' time when we were growing up, it's either you were a lawyer, a doctor, an engineer, a banker. So you say mass comm and you seem like you're unserious because who was doing mass comm then? but I'm looking at my life now and some of the people in the space that I want to be in that are not even as good as I am based off of just my natural talents. And I'm thinking, what if I had studied mass comm? What if somebody saw beyond me being a talkative? and saw it as: this girl is confident, this girl is courageous. Whenever I speak, people are asking me: oh, you have accent. i don't have an accent. Literally, I pick on people's languages. I can do South African, Ghanaian, and a lot of African countries. I learnt it from Big Brother Africa. I speak Hausa that I learnt when I was in primary school. I still speak it till now. I have such a good ear for languages. but then these were things I got bullied for. I got thrown out. I got put aside for. Why? When people don't understand why you are different, automatically there's a problem with you because how dare you be different? How dare you be something else than the norm and what is general, you know? so please, I so much agree with it (the quote in the video). I saw it and it triggered me because I'm just fully stepping into myself this year, you,know and being that I want my own self and all that I am to be my major hustle and office work to be side hustle, as opposed to using me as the side hustle, meaning I want to stop being the side piece. i'm the main character in my own story, right? And so I deserve, hell, hell yes, I dare to deserve. And then I now deserve after I dare! And I go ahead to like do it because I dare to deserve. I now actually do realize that, wait, actually, I deserve to actually be everything and more that is the main dish and the main cause, not the side piece! so, and I'm looking at it that I'm putting minimal effort and the result I'm seeing, people who have been putting maximum are not seeing it, right? Or they see they're struggling for it, yet it's literally like the opportunities are chasing me. they may not be flooding in now, but I'm asking myself if I keep up with this and I'm consistent for the next six months by basically showing up for myself every day, being consistent, fighting for myself, being in people's faces, those who don't like it, get out of the way, those who like it, welcome it. i'm not going to change myself, shortchange myself for anybody. If I'm in the environment, I'm too loud. My dear, use earphones. I ain't gon reduce my voice no more. I'm not going to reduce my personality, reduce my skills. No. i talk, but I don't talk amiss. I talk because I have something upstairs. I talk because I have an opinion and I have an opinion because I'm intelligent and I'm smart. And I'm not going to be sorry that other people coward and wait to be called. I will grab every opportunity. I will raise my hand in a large crowd, you know, because that's how I've gotten to where I am by not second-guessing or feeling shy. i'm sorry that you are shy or you are reserved, great and cool for you, but that's not me, you...

If any of the episodes are beyond 1 minute, please report to the nearest police station. 1 minute, please? what do you want? these 4 words were all the trigger this Advert by BetterHelp.com needed to get doom-scrollers attention online (and to get the guy in the video talking about his aspirations too).the sad soundtrack in the background gets us to lean in more, forget about our worries and empathize with this young man’s pains.the plot twist that happened next will blow your mind (if you’ve listened to the audio tho).this creates even more dopamine in our minds and gets us curious about how this movie is supposed to end. the plot twist was “i mean, what do you wanna eat?” 😅that element of surprise is genius and relatable because we’ve all attempted to ask a friend a question and they interrupt with an answer hoping they knew what you were about to ask, right? 😄my point is, when companies use real-life touchpoints to drive their message, it makes it easier for doubters (like me) to TRY their product. it’s why you TRY out every weekly Jollof-Write too. Because you know it’ll be something fun-to-read, From the headlines like “1 minute, please?” to the small letters instead of capitals (tell me you’ve noticed?) to not being able to predict what you’ll get served next.

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? 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. this time around Ella (the 16-year-old) accused me of killing something so precious to her. If you listened (the audio at the top) to her statement here’s what got her triggered: but who would think a statement I made in what i wrote about my late uncle 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?

“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). You know what she’s talking about, right? I feel that way every day, as soon as I step into the shower. Like I should just quit all these. Pack my slides, bible, joggers (can’t do without this), and fly to space as I watch everyone figure out their sh*t from up top. Thanks for the feedback, Ridah!

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.

This is the most emotionally draining period my partner and I have faced. I pray this is the last. It’s almost beyond our control. No, It’s not a case of fighting each other — in fact, this current situation has made us even closer. Everyday we talk about how we just want be in each other’s faces (her head on my chest. Me want!🥺🥵) and if we’re bored — we’d act our own version of Malcom and Marie. This situation is — finances related. It hurts me because I can’t help in anyway, even though I want to. How she’s still able to put on a smile in the middle of a financial-Pandemic that has humbled us to asking for help and getting treated like the average nigerian-house-helps. I know this phase will pass, we’d look back and laugh about it. On a brighter note, we officially launching this voice pollution thing your friends call “podcast”. We’d name it “1 Minute, Please?”. And from the name you already know the recordings won’t be more than a minute (just like the audio attached to this diary). Who’s going to be doing the talking? You and I. How? — leave that for me to take care of. Just be ever ready because i can call on YOU at anytime. My partner would probably be the first. I’ll love her to share how she’s navigating this tough phase. I hope I can always have your 1 Minute, Please?

You’re not about to listen/read yet another motivational garbage on the internet. I’ve been a victim of what I’m about to share. For the most part of my creative life, I was on the far end of the motivational spectrum. (I might do a voice recording on this matter. Expect it soon). I gave advice I never used. It felt fulfilling. At least — that’s what I thought. I confused fulfillment with painting an image that I am not — on the internet. My readers/listeners back then would go; “word” ”I’m motivated” and for most of them, it ends there. They’ll feel gingered for 2 mins and go back to default setting till another motivational-post drops from me again. It was like drugs to them. They’re high this minute and the next minute reality hits them. Not until I hit a wall. “I can’t continue like this” “this isn’t my reality” ”how do I walk the streets of Lagos without fear of being seen and called out as a fraud?” “who am I?” ”I don’t want to be like other creators” Because as far as I’m concerned, most young Nigerian creators are motivational speakers. The pandemic started and I paused all I was doing and took a step back to see all I had done and what others were doing. I saw terrible things. It made me wonder “is this what people from the outside see me as”. I sold off my social media accounts for a fresh start and repentance of sins. I began again. Humble and this time — willing to just share my own story. I don’t blame myself so much for blindly following that motivational/coach path. It’s what’s popular online and has been made to like the only way out. We keep seeing a rise in people succeeding today and tomorrow they start dropping motivational tweets and posts. These are the people misleading young folks. If you know a friend who’s also in the aspaya -to-paspaya space — please send them this diary. And if you read to this point, I hope you also listened to the audio attached to this diary by GaryVee as well. It’s the advice that has been guiding the way I use my diary. Share don’t teach.

I’ll be ‘The Professor’ in money heist because for the first time since I escaped from in between my Mom’s legs, I felt I was on top of the world. Growing up, birthdays are always like a public holiday around here. You wake up, morning devotion (open heavens), “happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you” immediately after devotion and that’s it for the day. Not even cake! (Going by Busayo’s voice message attached to this diary — she tagged my kind a cultist😭). This year’s own would always remain in my heart. Yes, I had cake. Plenty of it: At the end of this diary, there are 4 people I want to specially appreciate for making this happen. May 9, 2021 — I got back from church (my account balance and I made it out unharmed) to take off my sky-blue-Trad, eat rice, respond to those stubborn ones I asked not to wish me a happy birthday, and sleep! But 5 people had other plans for me. I entered my house, headed for my room when I heard trumpet sounds. 😳 My heart did a 360 movement! My first thought? Christ has come and I didn’t get to marry! 🥵 Lo and behold, it was a surprise party!! My church members and family friends trooped out from all the corners of the house and were celebrating me. Some even came to see me dance but I saw to it that they left disappointed. I can’t dance to save my kidneys. Some even said “Tobi, will you be able to dance on your wedding day like this?”. Well, till then! As if the whole surprise package wasn’t enough, they wanted to choke me some more by organizing my once-upon-a-time coursemates to show up. Now, that was the highlight for me. Seeing my friends from uni together once again gave me a taste of what heaven would look like. Discussing our Uni days from each lecturer to each student to the girls (you can’t talk about that school without this coming up) to what the future holds. I didn’t know how much I missed seeing their faces till this day. At the end of the day, just as I was about to rest from the overwhelming day and process all that has happened, my woman invited me on a zoom call. Now, this was meant to be a me and her alone time, but I’m sure you can tell what happened next; Family and friends who couldn’t make it physically for the surprise party were present on this zoom. They said so many sugary things about me and I was just one “sorry Tobi” from shedding tears. At this point, I’m tired of writing this for up to an hour (it’s 12pm), I have to use another 2 hours to “these people are going to see this as crap”, then 30 mins to read through for any errors (cos Mrs Adebayo, my high school English teacher could be scouting the internet for bad examples to show her students), and schedule it to go out at 3 pm today. Before I vanish, those 5 people I mentioned I wanted to celebrate, earlier: 1 of them (my mom) doesn’t read my diary but it’s the thought that counts right? * My mom - for being a chief organizer * My baby sister - for running the show, negotiating with vendors, and ensuring there were no mess-ups. * Titan - for organizing all my friends to come together and surprise me. * God - for using people to surprise me. * My proverbs 18:22 woman. My woman of grace. She went through blood and sweat to make sure all these happened. I love you, baby. And to the 20+ new diary readers, thanks for being the birthday gift I wished for. 💙 help Jollof-Write give FREE food to the community by pledging your support or Buy Jollof-Write a Coffee New here? join 342 customers getting FREE delicious meals delivered to their screen👇🏽 Care to share?👇🏽 Get full access to Jollof-Write👨🏽‍🍳✍🏽 at jollofwrite.substack.com/subscribe

I woke up this morning with a thought about having a space online similar to Clubhouse. Most likely this thought was inspired by the Greg Isenberg article I read last night. The whole idea is to help people who are reserved level up our public speaking game or social skills. That way we’re not pressured to speak up. We just hit record, send, and wait for any thoughts from anyone else in the room. It’s still very much authentic.
