To my next of Kin,When you write a memoir about me, the first line must start with a quip about something that is outrageously untrue. So that when the rest of me fills the pages, you would have laughed enough to bear the weight of the tears that would surely come. The story should be long enough...

I have always wanted to write about living in the diaspora. It is not an original thought but since the moment I packed my bags not once, but twice to build my existence in a new world, with a new identity and a new language, I told my poet persona: you will tell this story.Yet, there were too m...

I am not an expert on this topic but I have watched reality long ago to make sense of what this world teaches the boys I love.Before a boy learns to say “I’m sad,” he is often taught to say “I’m fine.”Before he learns how to cry safely, he learns how to curl his fingers and speak violence with h...

To be a poet without a story feels like an irony because everyone assumes you must have suffered greatly to write something beautiful. That great art must be born of great personal tragedy or romance or chaos. Oh! her heart must have been broken a thousand times, she must have stared death in the...

So as one casually does on a random tuesday, I wrote something a little questionable— and I need your eyes on it. Writers are usually their own worst critics and when we have sat with our own piece for far too long, it becomes difficult to tell what is filth or what s a work of art. That’s where ...

It is funny how sometimes your body doesn't know the difference between a simple social situation or being chased by a starving tiger. When Doechii sang the song Anxiety, she didn't miss a bit with the lines Somebody's watching me. It's my anxiety. Anxiety is not just a feeling—it’s a full-b...

I am not the strongest authority on the topic of masculinity simply because it is not my lived experience. But my twocents still matters—because those who have lived it often won’t talk about it.As a poet, I find myself drawn to the things that do not concern me. Maybe it’s because curiosity is t...

So... What Are You Really Studying?"This is an easy question to answer if you spend your days in high-tech labs, revolutionizing industries, or curing cancer.

A quick disclaimer before I go into a long rant about this discovery: This is a hack that may work for all kinds of people but it is mostly tailored to those with hobbies in the creative industry for reasons you may later find out.

What do you say when they look at you with sincere eyes, a warm hand on your shoulder, and ears eager to listen? When they sit next to you, their presence like an embrace, their gaze unwavering as they whisper, ‘Are you okay?’ Their voice is so soft that it falls weightless on your ears, like clo...

This is an ode to writers, an ode to myself actually but I’ll try not to be selfish and spread the ode to every writer who has been down this path you’ll be reading about soon.

I can already imagine you wondering, why on earth is this even important. Oh well, you’ll find out why very soon, that much I can assure you… but before I go into that detail however, I think there is a need for a backstory, need is too little a word, it is important that we have a backstory.

Working remotely as an introvert is slowly weighing down on my mental health. I was already socially awkward, having skipped the part of the ‘how to be social in the 21st century’ part of the human manual, and now that I no longer have to physically be amongst humans, it has gotten worse.

No, this is not about the green in the Nigerian flag or the green in everything that is Nigeria. This is more than that.
To define anything about Nigeria is to go a long speech of very confusing statements that have no valid conclusion so I’ll take out the parts of the introduction that talks ...

Yes, it is a real thing and even though it was something I made up that is yet to make it into any dictionary, not even urban dictionary, I still stand confident that it is a real thing that we must talk about.

I hope none of my clients see this but here’s the truth, I genuinely hate social media. Perhaps hate might be a strong word but yes, I dislike the entire concept of it. Sometimes I wonder what life would have been like if I was born some centuries ago but then again, I doubt I would have been a...

The number of times I have had to tell people ‘I am Ijaw’, spell it, google it and sometimes even launch into geography lessons is the reason why I just had to make this post.

I dare digital marketers or social media managers to argue with me on this.

I can almost picture how you look when you read this statement: Utterly confused. Because how can food, the most basic necessity of life be overrated!

Now, this is one interesting quote…don’t you think? Unfortunately, I didn’t come up with this. I wish I was cool enough to though but then again, it did say ‘great artist steal’ and I am a great artist if I do say so myself so considered this quote legally stolen by me.
