UNCLE BEN’S RICE & MANY OTHER REASONS TO BE ANGRY

One of the side effects of being a 90s baby is having to listen to nostalgic tales of how Nigeria was once a sane nation, and at the core of these stories, is usually Uncle Ben’s rice.

To a large extent, these stories were so good that it almost felt weird that I was starting to long for a time I never witnessed. Then it got to a point where these stories began to lose the hope it…

Disclaimer: Dear reader, you are totally responsible for your understanding and interpretation of this piece. Thank you.

Experience That ’99 Love with Tomilola ‘Coco’ Adeyemo.

One of the things I definitely love to do outside reading memoirs is reviewing Tomilola Coco’s books. If you are an ardent reader of my blog and the Nigerian fiction series community, you already know by now that Tomilola Coco is a household name.

In 2017, I read and reviewed Tomilola Coco’s Dangerous Passion and I was like yes, this is it! this is the height of magic, but I didn’t realise…

One of the things I had to learn recently is the fact that I have the freedom to define what the concept of forgiveness mean to me, and most importantly,…

Love and Ratio: A Question of More or Less?

Hi guys, it feels so good to finally publish again since my return post. So speaking on love, last week, I read a post/reaction on DANG about;

how love can never be equal as one person always loves more than the other and how deep love makes one fill in the gap when the other shrinks…

Hey fam! I know it’s been a while, or not since I’ve been here. How are y’all holding up during this lockdown period? Beyond the fact that I’ve had to reflect on a lot of things and make certain choices such as whether to let go of this blog or keep it (which apparently I did keep, judging by the fact that you’re reading from me right now), I think I’m fine.
