When I was in Lagos this February, I went to see a movie with my Friend of Many Years. We’d met in camp during NYSC orientation in Nkwerre, Imo state. I believe it was the luxurious sound of my voice and my amazing speech on parade ground that made her fall madly in love with me agree to talk to… Read more →

When I say I’ll do something, I WILL do it eventually after several years of procrastinating. I have promised and promised to eventually write this but every year something stopped me. In 2012, I was one of the anxious young people summoned to the almighty Law school for the experience that would allegedly turn boys into men. I eagerly… Read more →
There are those people who you will never recover from. People who are silently so effective that they will creep into every corner of your life and take such a powerful hold that you’d wonder if somebody sent them. People that will show up at the oddest times and sort out some problem in your life and you’d wonder… Read more →
Today makes it 25 years since Miss Deborah Sule became Mrs Ademu-Eteh. Pause, and calmly think of that. How people with different family backgrounds- the son of a village trader and the daughter of a Regimental Sergeant-Major, a Nurse and a Teacher could build such a beautiful life together is something short of a Mystery.

And to Vivian who did some amazing housekeeping and cooking this weekend. And to the people who refused to let me sleep so they’d be the… Read more →
Jerry Ifeanyi Chiemeke I ran into him often but we never “officially” started talking until the last month of law school. Before that, It was the usual comment or two on my blog, and on His when he started blogging. I remember being vaguely impressed with his blogging skills as he said he started the blog in April of 2013.… Read more →
Finally I’ve dusted my keyboard in 2014. I thought I would end my “great-people-I-know” series in 2013, but with Oyinkan’s birthday, Owanate and Dumebi’s birthdays this month I just cannot skip this. In My Birthday speech of 2012 (Bros over Cutlasses) I talked and talked about how I needed to reduce the amount of female friendships I was cultivating.… Read more →
I will be shot if I do not make this post before midnight This is the first time I will post about one of the Law School People. And this person is Oyinkansola Zainab Aina. The first time I met her I was walking to the Oji-ukwu market with Belema, when I saw a group of people that had just… Read more →
