The Intense Experience That Is Nigeria

October was an eventful month. It was the month Nigeria turned 60. It was the month that, for the first time in decades, a large number of us hone and abroad came together and peacefully protested against police brutality and calling for a police reform. It was the month that the Nigerian Army opened fire […]

There Was A Country?

Many a day leave me mentally drained and barely able to perform at am optimal level. On other days when my mind is less foggy, I get to spend time to reflect. To reflect on various subjects which I find fascinating or generally have an inquisition about. I have to admit that a large chunk […]

WOMAN=HUMAN

I had to take a Twitter break yesterday. It was just too much for my soul. Rape case here, violence there. My heart couldn’t take it. I tried to evade writing this as much as I could, but eventually worked my way back to writing. As bitter and heartbreaking as this reality is, we have […]

NIGERIAN SECONDARY SCHOOLS: GRADUATING WITH A WAEC AND VARYING DERGREES OF TRAUMA.

Mostly, it involves the resurrection of a person’s tweet(s) from a certain time in the past, quoted under the person’s current tweet, with the question as an […]

On Making Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs & Learning Life Lessons.

I boiled eggs last week. Mundane activity, right? Definitely one that should not be the starting sentence of any blog post anywhere. I apologise. Walk with me though, I have a point, I promise. All my life, I have been taught to boil eggs while watching the clock. That whole wait-for-the-eggs-to-crack method did not fly […]

Long Time, No See.

I have typed possible opening sentences for this post, and deleted them seconds after. Disappointment and self-doubt was beginning to set in, but not today. Not this time. In part, it has been a while since I wrote creatively. I’m a bit rusty, I must admit. What took me a longer time to own up […]
