a man evolving

Best Things I Read this week These inspiring pictures and quotes here Eat carbs and still maintain a six pack? This male model proves it. Read here . Chances are, the person you will finally come to love will be younger, older, taller or shorter than the person you’re dreaming of. Innumerable opportunities for real love have been lost because daters didn’t know the  wise  skill of squinting.   Read more here   “Men are brought up being told that we’re supposed to be provider and protector. But, as far as I can see, a lot of our communities are basically designed to kill people, because you can’t find healthy or nutritious food in them. Why is it easier to get alcohol than an organic apple? Why, in certain communities here, is it easier to get a gun than it is to get an organic carrot? Cities are designed for commerce, not for people.” This gangster drops some truth here The open-minded know that most people are already brim-full of self-criticism. We’re not

If while growing up, you and your family moved from one place to another (say you lived in 2 or more places) and you were to make a choice to go to back to your “childhood home” which of the places you lived in will you choose? Home is where the wrapper on the balcony is I used the ample time provided by the national four day holiday to return to my childhood home where I spent the first fourteen years of my life(my family moved out in 2004). I grew up in the 19 th house on a street called Osemene close in Mafoluku, Lagos. The street was one of those closely knit places where everyone knew everyone; It wasn’t uncommon for older folks on the street to report you to your parents if you displayed any unruly behavior because ultimately everyone was your “mommy and daddy”, walking up the street from school or church you’ll often be stopped by uncles, aunties and mommies and daddies who will inquire about your welfare at school and remark about how fast you’d grown telling you i

When my first book got published in December 2015, one of the things i sought out for was book reviews. Not a review from the New York Times (who am i kidding, that would have been fantastic!) or people magazine (Hey Boo)  but reviews from people across the world who bought and read   "A forever kind of Dream".  So far there has not being a single negative review and the general consensus seems to be everyone really likes it.

Dreams.  These are the words that flood my mind every time I think abo

It was a sunny Saturday afternoon in September 2015 that i first saw him on TV in a restaurant somewhere in central Lagos, ironically on a station that was notorious of being dismissive of his campaign - CNN.

"dunno" he shrugged Prior to my first hearing/sighting of Bernie Sanders, i wasn't overtly interested in the US election primaries or any political movement at all.  I had a slight distant fondness for Hillary, a woman trying trying to make history, sounds good.
