My Strategy is Simple
One If it moves my heart, if it can’t leave my mind, I will write about it. I blog as and when I’m inspired to. And since I discovered WinterABC, I will blog every June. Two Remain rooted in Afrobloggers. I’ve learnt many new things by interacting with content from other bloggers. Since I am…

Hangin’ out with Nigerians
The faces of Nigerian stars have changed but the stories remain the same. Stories of village life versus town life, passionate love and unrequited love, royalty and disloyalty, religion, wealth, poverty and seeking greener pastures in Lagos and among the oyinbos.
