I’m even considering a career as a columnist on Nigerian affairs. Sooooo, lets check out the madness...

Waist Deep

Those of us who reside in the United States may be familiar with a TV commercial featuring a man caught in a quicksand. His teammates, instead of springing to action to rescue him, began a conversation to identify the situation before they could plan a course of action. All along, the poor guy sank deeper and deeper into the quicksand. This is a scenario which I liken to the state of the...

Work became intense and then there’s this little thing called 'Master’s Degree' for which I pursue persistently.

What in the Iguana is wrong with you?

The first thought that came to me when I saw this animal was ‘over-grown lizard’ and then ‘creepy’ followed. Then we were told that the speed limit around here is 25 mph. For a split second, I thought I was in a Flintstone movie. That is like crawling speed for a ‘James Bond’ like me. The reason for...

Back on the Block: to my favorite bloggers , I missed you

The alley where we meet during lunch everyday is cold as a dungeon without our daily chatter. I await my cohorts. The skyline is grey. Cars honking their horns, the streets look busy-humans and cars going in every direction here and there. Down the alley is dQueenb heading my way. In her striking silhouette, she walks with an air of reckless abandon yet poignant and riveting with her stories. I could...
