I have known of James Bond for as long as I've been alive. He's essentially, the most visible example of Witchcraft, Wizardry, Sorcery, or flagrant Vampirism in the world. I refuse to believe that there's some new medical procedure that's helped him stay between 31 and 42 for 53 years! And I absolutely...

By now most Nigerians should have heard of Sugabelly and her account of rape at the hands of Mustapha Audu and his friends and family. She revealed everything on Friday the 27th of November 2015. I didn't know how to report it. I didn't break the story, and any attempts to rewrite the post she called...

When you read the Hunger Games series, you're reminded of the Twilight series because of the inherent love triangle. While Twilight never quite strays from its sugary beginnings, the Hunger Games becomes an entirely new beast by Mockingjay 2. I wasn't exactly pleased when I learned that the trilogy...

I don't know that I've given the lot of you an update lately. I will rectify this shortly. In the past, my updates were incredibly singular: mere snippets of my life at the moment. I intend to change this too. During my confinement in Nigeria, I had a lot of conversations and I learned a lot about...

We live in an age where comment is free. With the rise of platforms that encourage the sharing of public opinion, our feelings and thoughts about issues are no longer restricted to deep meaningful conversations between friends. This has its merits and its demerits. On the one hand it is great that...

It was Obi’s birthday a few days before. Now I’m preparing myself for the celebration. He’s decided on a house party. I like house parties even if they very rarely ever turn into massive ragers. They’re cheap and efficient, and if you so happen to over indulge there’s a couch with your name on it....

Life in Lagos was fine. It wasn't filled with long walks where I didn't wonder about how safe I was. No, the one time I walked home, I was chased a hundred feet by two men who could best be described as suspicious, and struck by a policeman. That night will always be one of the highlights of my youth....

The rational among us are unlikely to forget Friday the 13th of November 2015. Before that day, when people touted Friday the 13th as a day of supreme unluckiness we laughed about their supreme superstitiousness and how such superstitiousness had no place in 2015, but not anymore. Now, whenever there's...

I wasn't the most academic child. I apologise for the roundabout introduction but I'm anything but straightforward and the Masters degree doesn't allow me to exhibit the full measure of my literary flair. They frown upon all uses of the first person in written work and admonish any lack of objectivity....
