I can't stand some Nigerian music. Not because they're bad, but because the memories take me back to when japa was not even a thought I entertained.
The music is beautiful; the feeling isn’t.
That said, I'm enjoying "Good Times" by Asa ft The Cavemen.
What about you?

Studies suggest that the biggest reason most people leave countries like #Nigeria for countries like #Britain is to create a better future for their children.

Only a few people in the past few years can lay claim to shaping the media narrative in Nigeria’s South East. Gaius is one of them.
Yesterday we had a great time catching up and talking about our separate journeys and ideas about telling our own stories.

The one reason I’ve never intentionally rewatched Sound of Music is the character of Rolf Gruber.
I found it disturbing how quickly someone close to you would turn on you in service of the overlord. This is what I see in Trump’s America today. It is heartbreaking. And scary.

It was great to catch up with Mrs Caley, the Headteacher of Murray Park Community School.
I look forward to working with you and the team for the benefit of the children and families in the Mackworth and New Zealand ward that the school serves.

It’s witty and engaging in a way that feels like if Guy Richie decided to write his dialogues in newsroom English. 😅
