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?
