So Chidimma got the 1st Runner Up in the Miss Universe competition inspite of all the hate and plans to get her disqualified. While there are obvious lessons to learn from this, the most important to me is that silence and comportment bring support and love even from past haters. Congrats, Chidimma.

Today, I went to the Lagos International Theatre Festival. I watched the play Idia: The Warrior Queen of Benin. In one word: captivating. I respected every actor, and moreso when I learnt they were secondary school students. Hats off to the young lady who played Idia, Iya Oba.

A weekend well spent.
