About Me

OYINKANSOLA OGUNYINKA

Writer

Hi, I am Oyinkansola A. Ogunyinka ‘The Grace Ola’. I am a graduate of Mass Communication from Covenant University majoring in Public Relations and Advertising. I am an author, freelance content writer, mental health enthusiast and food lover (I’ll taste your food for free). I am also a hopeless romantic. If you would love to work with me or collaborate on something, just send a DM or an email. 'Believe in yourself, you are more than amazing.'

What’s your worst public transport experience in

What’s your worst public transport experience in Lagos?

Mine happened recently. I sat near the door and as the bus stopped to pick up passengers where they weren’t meant to, an area boy jumped out and attempted to beat the conductor with koboko.

The man dodged quickly and pushed me as he hurried into the bus. But as he swerved, the koboko hit me instead😩.

Omo, I cried that day mehn.

Moral Lesson? I am made for money, Lagos people are crazy, never seat near the door in a public bus and oh yeah, this life is survival of the fittest😅

Now your turn.👇🏾

Today’s service @cci_lekki was 🔥🔥

Learnt the importance of communal prayer and boooooooy, I know things can never be the same again - on to greater realms now 🥰

How about you? What did you learn in church today?

Ps: there’s a lil Sunday afternoon conversation going on on my stories, feel free to join in🤗

Did you know that you are likely to save better when you set small, bite-size goals compared to big ones? 😌

Putting it simply - Oyin will save more if she sets a goal of N2,500 per week VS a goal of N10,000 per month even though they both add up to the same thing.

Why?

Small, gradually-increasing changes are easier to make than large ones.

So if you need to build a healthy savings habit, try this:

1. Create a @getjetseed account and sign up with my code - OYINKAN

2. Then, save in this order:

Month 1 - Save N1,000 weekly

Month 2 - Increase your weekly savings by N500, N1,000 or more (depending on what works for you)

Month 3 - Keep increasing the amount you save weekly

This tactic will also be helpful if you:

- Spend impulsively
- Need to cut down on unnecessary expenses
- Are having trouble staying financially disciplined

Bonus Tips:

- Encourage your friends and family to save along with you for support and community

- Have a target savings amount you want to reach within a specific time frame and let that keep you going.

Generally speaking, setting SMART goals will help you stay committed to hitting your goals.

Got any questions or additional tips for building a good savings culture? I’d love to hear them👇🏾

I feel like disappearing a lot these days.

My life seems to be going pretty good but deep down, I'm drowning in adulting.

Do you feel like this too or is it just me?

Like, this thing is hard abeg, who did we offend now?

See ehn, if you can't relate, just know that I'm jealous of you.

Anyway, let me just apologise for disappearing on you for so long.

😂I'm laughing because this apology seems to be a regular in this Instagram space. Still sha, I'm sorry.

Also, even though no one asked, I'll tell you what I've been up to, on the off chance that you care about it...

1. I still work @getjetseed , formerly Pettysave. You should totally check it out if you've got financial goals.

2. I manage a writing community for content writers and social media managers now. If this appeals to you or anyone you know, send a DM to @heramarketing_ .

Ps: My book launch has been officially rescheduled for September this year and by God’s Grace, it will happen😅

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk aka mailing list excerpt aka comeback post. Hopefully, I’m back to stay. Ciao!

‘My name’s Blurryface and I care what you think

Wish we could turn back time
To the good old days

When our momma sang us to sleep
But now we’re stressed out

….

Used to play pretend, give each other different names

We would build a rocket ship and then we’d fly it far away

Used to dream of outer space, but now they’re laughing at our face

Saying - Wake up you need to make money!’

- 21 Pilots @twentyonepilots

If you can relate, all I can say is, this too shall pass because me sef need motivation 🥸

I need to say this…

My last post had many messages so this one might have gotten lost in the middle. So here goes:

- my book launch does not have a definite date yet because many things have happened to make it difficult right now…for more info, check slide 2

- many of you have preordered and I have a list of everyone so don’t worry.

- if you preordered and would like to get your copy before ‘whenever the book launch is’, please send me a DM so we can discuss delivery

- if you’d like to wait too, I’m grateful for your patience

- the book is printed and ready, as you can see in the last slide, all that’s pending is the launch itself.

- if you still want to preorder or support the launch, you can DM me

I hope I have answered all your questions. Thanks and have a great week!❤️

It’s kinda late but thanks for all the love on my birthday.

I just couldn’t go through all the wishes so here’s a GIANT THANK YOU to every single one of you❤️

I am blessed to have you in my corner.

I know it’s been a while I posted a story or talked about my book launch😅. Life has just been really happening to me…and it’s a really long story.

But in due time, everything will fall into place I’m sure.

If you’ve missed my stories and poems and you really want me to dedicate a few days and midnights to writing something, no matter how hard the writer’s block tries to fight me,

Say so in the comments☺️

And if you’re new here with no idea the stories and poems I’m talking about, just scroll down this page and look through the black n purple posts. You’ll see…

Till next time my loves✨

“Mummy always says she stayed because of me and

“Mummy always says she stayed because of me and I believe her.

I was only nine when she first told me and though I am older now, it has been my truth for such a long time.

I know that she is just terrified of leaving but I still can’t stop believing I am not at least a part of the problem.

Mummy is terrified of being alone. She can’t be alone, she doesn’t know how to be.

And so she stays. And suffers.

Dad suffers too and so do I. We all do.

I am not even sure when the fights and beatings first started but they get worse every time.

Some days I consider killing myself, so that it will just end.

But I am a coward. I really am.

I can’t do it.”

- Excerpt from my upcoming book #ALoveForTomorrow

And DM me if you’d like to preorder ❤️

Ps: The book launch has been pending for a while for many reasons, but it’s coming up real soon so if you’ve preordered already, I got you…

They lied to us

We looked up
And there were no stars
In the night sky

It was then we realized
That they were all on earth
The stars
Us

Fallen
Struggling to shine
Looking up to our old home

This thing called life
The older we get
The more we see
How overrated it is,
Adulting.

Ps: the last slide is a mood every time😂 @arielfitz.patrick

You are worth more than you think. Trust me.

Tell me 3 amazing things about you in the comments below, then read them out to yourself.

(And yes, this is a shameless aspire to perspire post on focusing on the positives)

I’ll go first.

3 wonderful/amazing things about myself

- I’m really smart
- I’m a go-getter
- My name is Amazing-Grace so I am actually technically amazing😂, also Oyinkansola - honey drops into wealth

Reading this to myself made me smile. Now do yours and tell me you don’t feel a little better than you did just before doing this… you’re welcome😌

A man once asked me

If I wanted him to take a blade to his age

And trim it to a suitable length for me

Because I told him

Of how I don’t date old men

.

Tell me, is age a factor for you when choosing who to date? How so?🤔
