For many of us Nigerians, the year 2020 comprised only four months: January, Pandemic, Violence, and December. Some people argue that January was the only good month we had last year, and how could I not agree? January was the month we got Bad Boys for Life. It was the month we narrowly averted what ..read more

The theme for this week’s episode was inspired by the conversations I had yesterday with some writers on Twitter. As a result, today’s questions may not be as fun as the ones I’ve asked in past episodes. Still, I encourage you to answer them with as much enthusiasm as you’ve answered my past questions.

It’s been exactly three weeks since I announced my starting the Would You Rather blog series, and we’ve had two successful episodes since then.

Like every writer, I once struggled to write coherently. And it was frustrating because each time I had an idea I badly ..read more

My new Twitter account reminds me of a Spiderman action figure someone got me when I was a kid. I loved the toy so much that I went virtually everywhere with it. I loved it not just because it was a rare find at that time, but also because it was a replacement for another ..read more

I could start by making excuses for my long absence and for the commitments that I made to my readers but failed to fulfill. I might even begin with a review of last year’s many challenges and how I reacted in the face of every one of them. Then again, I could start by apologising ..read more
