Eavesdropping
  Location: At work (- what ’employer’ pays for) (and actually busy and all seriousey) (I usually can’t stand eavesdropping I don’t even like it. I don’t even do the ‘acceptable’ Lagosian gawking . I’m laying all these down so you can be sure I didn’t even try hard to listen, it just sorta ‘filtered’ […]
I think I want to cut my hair
 About six years ago, I had an ‘accident’. It was one of those adventurous periods of my life- I braided my hair, and wanted to dye it mid-night blue. Unfortunately, since the hair refused to dye, my hairdresser suggested that I re-dye it and leave the dye in for a couple of hours. Well […]
A Must Read for Workers
“A word is enough for the wise…..† Every time I am about to speak at a youth gathering, I always have to go back to the rudiments of what makes one a winner because it is the basic, if implemented that strengthens your foundation to any form of success. I got this mail from […]
THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD THIS WEEK: LIVING RIGHT?.
THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD THIS WEEK: LIVING RIGHT?. I grew up as a Christian- that really meant I, along with the rest of my then-nuclear family was chauffeured by my dad to church every Sunday. I didn’t have a choice. No one in my family did. Besides the free chauffeur privileges, it also meant that […]
FE-MALE VIRGINITY
 “Woman:” n, bearer of the hymen.† In 1981, Britain’s leading Newspaper, quoted the Fifth Baron Fermoy’s words, affirming a teenaged girl’s suitability for the throne of England said (with no trace of a wink):  “To my knowledge she has never been involved in that way with anyoneâ€Ã„  But that was in […]

“If you do the same thing the way you have been doing it and expect a change; you are definitely insane†– paraphrased from the quote of Albert Einstein There was a leap in my heart when my wife told me on phone that she had dropped my daughter in school. Dammi has started school; […]
Heart in Hand…
Sometimes, love doesn’t make sense.  No, this is not another cheesy piece, extolling the virtues of foolishness, masqueraded as the “L†word. So, I won’t bother with the finer details of what “love†is (I don’t even know what it is) but just so no one thinks my IQ is a point less than […]
… And Maltina Dance-all
Has anyone caught the Maltina thinge on TV? Oh well, I did, and managed to get amused, entertained, and upset (maybe that’s a bit hyperbolic but it was something close), one emotion flowing into the next. Dance has become a Naija thing. “Dance†being anything from the Don-Moen choreography, with the gloves and headbands, to […]

CITY MADE OF TREES
A world of embarrassment hit me as I sat in one of the Pizzerias in Rome thinking of the events that prelude my arrival in Rome. I looked out the scenery commanding my view and the sight of cars that look like Kia Pincanto did not make me appreciate the journey at all and the […]
Weekend at Ouidah.
“Tu es Ghanéenne?†“Non, Je suis Nigériane†“Oh, tu habite a Nigeria? si, where are you from?†In another bit of scattered French and English, which was fast becoming my mode of communication, I said yet another, “I’m Nigerianâ€, before my Thomas- inquisitor finally believed that Nigerians actually took holidays to countries other than Dubai […]
