Circumcision in Diaspora
Having a baby in the diaspora has become something of a paramount importance for a lot of people living in developing countries. And I do not blame them. If you can afford it, go for it. You expand your child's chances in life. You give him the privilege of dual citizenship. Plus a whole lot of other benefits, both long-term and short term.

The Other Room
The Nigerian Internet has been buzzing following the recent speech given by her president on an international platform about his wife( and he gave that speech standing next to one of today's powerful women, the Angela Merkel)

The Day I Joined a Search Party
Sunday, September 4, 2016
Dear Nigerians,
Our penchant for all things western or 'already made' at the detriment of our indigenous development affects us all, in all ramifications, no exclusions.
...of forgiveness and forgetfulness
First forgiveness doesn't mean pretending something didn't happen. It doesn't mean turning yourself to a doormat and get hurt time and again.

Earthquake!
I remember my first earthquake experience. I was in Italy at the time. It was a Saturday night/Sunday morning. No one saw it coming. If anyone did, I do not know. If I had died that day, I would have known it.

A letter to the 'present' generation parents
Dear Parents,
'knowing just book' is no longer enough. Never has been, never will be. Or how else will the world strike a balance? If we all became doctors and lawyers, who is responsible for the clothes we wear? If we were all engineers or pharmacologist who entertains you and gets you grooving to that hot jam? Or who even makes that delicious 'ofe-akwu' you always salivate for?

The truths you need to know about real relationships
If you grew up reading a lot of novels (like I did) and believing all you read, then go through life to act out like all those novels or you watched way too much movies where all the acts where just too 'purr-fect'; do yourself a favour: get a glass of water and splash on your face. Good job. Wake up to reality.

What they didn't tell you about being a SAHM
1. Your once ever so organised life would most times be a total mess. Let me explain. How can you keep a house and a toddler(s) clean 24/7? How? Either one or both's gotta give. As you are tidying up it's getting messed up at the very moment. Sometimes I'm arranging and the little one is happy helping mummy out by scattering everything. And when you turn at her in total exasperation she gives you her toothless smile. That smile gets me everytime. I end up picking her up and other times, with clothes strewn all over the place, we just lay on them and goof around. Clean up can wait. My baby is fast growing.

Where did your name go?
Hardly had I dropped 'Baby is here' post that I got a mail. But dear mailer, why did you not drop a comment? Who does that? Joor, help my ministry.

Baby is here!
And mummy is good. That's all that matters. Thank you.
How hard could this be? Very hard. For some. A woman carries a baby 10 months of a 12 months calendar( yes 10, bite me), the tiniest you can do is to congratulate her, wish baby well and be happy. Every other thing can come later.
