Knowledge is power! Think about this: what makes you hold a piece of plastic or metal (called a mobile phone) in a house in Ibadan and speak into it for someone thousands of kilometers away in Europe to hear? Technology? This is a product of research.   Yet, in a city in Nigeria, a human…

The activities of the last couple of days present me with an opportunity to write again. Here I am. One of my discoveries is how much my family has been spending without my knowledge. Not that my money is being spent without me disbursing it, but money is being spent outside what I provide. While…

Parenting requires patience!!! Personality also plays a huge role in parenting! Sometimes the littlest things could aggravate you because kids only act or react within the limits of their knowledge which could be really limited, by the way. Your desire to consistently be a cool dad for instance, will be tested so frequently and it…

I had an early appointment today and I was trying to get ready in time. My phone was ringing consistently from the top of somewhere but it was not a priority at the time. Audrey kept calling me. If you have ever been pestered by a child, you may be able to relate with half…

I have two daughters. Audrey is over the age of Four (4) while Peyton just recently crossed Two (2). They are a delight to be with, not just because of their intelligence which is significantly astonishing, but because they are active and dramatic and could influence the mood, even at a carnival. What is even…

My mother told me I was born in Ibadan. I remember us living in Ile-Ife at the time before we relocated to Ibadan four years later. But she could not have lied, could she? No reason to. I hold a few memories from Ile-Ife: 1. One day my mother fried bean balls (àkàrà) and placed…

She is beautiful, that’s true. With bright eyes and full lips, long neck and sleek hair Her skin smooth like polished wood Her smile so charming, it makes your heart melt   She is indecent, that’s true With bare cleavage and exposed crack, lost morals and obvious thighs Her nipples firm like cashew seeds Her…

It’s not okay to walk away, to turn your back or change your lane It’s not okay to quit today, from all the hopes I brewed to stay It’s not enough to wish for more, like I’m a plague or scar or pore It’s not enough to say goodbye to what we have, I’ll tell…

If I asked you to mention the three most influential people in the world today, you will probably mention President Obama of the United States, Queen Elizabeth of England and Ban Ki Moon of the United Nations. More than half of the 7 billion people in the world will be willing to do anything just…

INTRODUCTION Politics is real. It influences our life and living from before we are born till the moments after our death; from the minute we wake up each day to the moment we go to bed. It affects our health, our homes, our jobs, our resources and our families. But before we discuss politics and…

I grew up with a mad man. My father was never mad and I never lived with a guardian. Making reference to comments made by my mother over the decade before the last, it is safe to conclude that I was born in a clinic situated in the brown-roofed city of Ibadan, even though I…
