Five-Minute Walk

Sunny morning. Walking back from my children’s school. It’s a five-minute walk and that is a blessing, because when you live in Lagos, Nigeria, anything that helps you avoid Lagos traffic deserves thanksgiving to the high heavens. As I am about to cross the road, it dawns on me that…

Between Life And Two Wheels

Cycling in my 30s Learning to ride a bicycle is probably something you should learn in your childhood (well, it kind of looks that way). Somehow, I skipped that part, but I did ride a tricycle, and then I had a Gokart, and an airplane with four wheels. …

Reviews Make The World Go Round

Eyes On The Prize

What we need to tell our children I was asked to present prizes to some of the students at the speech and prize-giving day of my daughter’s school. My daughter wasn’t a recipient, but I considered it an honour to be a presenter. And no, I wasn’t going to pull…

Word Witches Of The Web

They are everywhere. A lot of times, we know their names before we even know what they look like. Sometimes, we may never even see them. They sit on thrones of chrome and fine leather, sometimes just an ordinary sofa. For some, the bare floor, and at other times they may settle for a café somewhere.
