Made A Playlist

Check out my new post!

It has been a millenia since I was last on these writing streets. Buhari did a hell of a thing, Tinubu is doing a hell of a thing. Many people are moving to the north pole in search of better lives. Lass Lass when -30 degrees hits your soul, you will remember that summer never really ends in Naija. Yes I still use Apple Music. I know I should port to spotify but excuses. Land of Unending Summer…

Zanku-ing, Moonwalking from 2020 into 2021…

The last time I wrote on this blog was May 2020, happy new year people!!! 2020 was a heck of a year. Seems 2021 is picking up where 2020 left but with the added bonus of there being a vaccine or vaccines. Hope you’re doing well and your loved ones are too. Here’s hoping 2021 serves a better main course. 2020 was an eventful year on my end. There were moments of joy, moments of sadness, moments…

Paper Planes, Art, Most High, Existence

I like stoner comedies even way back as a kid. Half Baked, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, Clerks. So the other I tweeted the following, re-read it and it kind of cracked me up.

Covidian Times: A Puddin' Inspired Fever Dream

Covidian Times: A Puddin’ Inspired Fever Dream

She calls me puddin’ like Harley Quinn does The Joker and I have to say I love it. Weird, maybe because I can recognize the inner anarchist, crown prince of crime, revolutionary, greater good Ra’s Al-Ghul/Killmonger in me, the bipolar angel/demon kept under control, maybe I have just met someone that has seen the layers and knows somewhere in there is just a guy trying his best. On certain days,…

So I have been down a rabbit hole, actually when I say down I dont mean down, more like I have been trying to enrich my knowledge base outside politics, oil and gas and music/pop culture, I have dived into reading about business. I have been more about investments, fintech apps, investing more in dollar because…

So I realize that I have been making a mountain out of a mole hill about writing on this blog. I have a list of blog topics and brief 3 to 4 sentence summary of what the post is supposed to be about. If I was a rapper or musician, those would be the lost tapes or studio sessions but i aint and that might not be an apt metaphor. Bleh, I m…

  So I recently went on a visit to my favorite country on earth (Sorry Nigeria, I m tired of you but alas my passport is green) for a friend’s wedding and my 10 year college reunion (Yes I m that ancient now). I spent a month (with a brief 1 week detour to London) and visited New York, Miami, Los Angeles and Denver. Those who know me know…

Pieces, Crumbs and Questions

Pieces, Crumbs and Questions

Pieces and Pieces, It keeps shattering

They say the abyss is the lowest point

What if there is a lower level?

Better still what if you keep falling for eternity

Unearthing new lows to your existence

What if there is no karma?

What if all the good you put in the universe does not mean shit?

What if all your good intentions will come to naught?

Would you long to leave this flesh suit and mortal…
