Small Beginnings, Big Dreams
I have been obsessed with entrepreneurship for the past 2 years for a simple reason; I read a book called ‘The Unfair Advantage‘ by Robert Kiyosaki. He said when someone wants to be a pilot they go to aviation school, a wannabe doctor goes to medical school but when we want to start a business we just look for a […]

The Most Vulnerable Adult
The most vulnerable adult is the woman waiting for a fruit of the womb. She is ridiculed, has lost her sense of self and is gullible to anything filtered to her that can bring forth a child. She is led high and low, to doctors and spiritual healers. Confesses to all sorts and checks her family tree for issues. She […]

My Dreams Are Coming True
You all know how I love Arts and how I use the Human body as my canvas. This has been my passion since I was a little girl and I made it. In Primary School: I was the best fine arts student. I would draw and sculpt with clay……. Anything at home was raw materials… Omo! I destroyed stuff. My […]

A Letter To Nigerian Parents
Dear parents, Let’s be real! I wish to start by adding the benefit of my time as a student and then resident in the United Kingdom. Living in Abuja now. The first thing that I discovered about UK-born, white, English undergraduates was that all of them did holiday or weekend job to support themselves, including the children of millionaires amongst […]

They want our land; But who are they?

My Kidnapped Story In Makurdi, Benue State
The 8th of March 2017 will forever remain a day to remember. So I went to the bank to withdraw some money since my mum needed it that evening and I wouldn’t be back home until 5pm. Of course banks will be closed by then so I had to withdraw that morning. Like every other day, I left for school […]

Why I Paid Fulani Herdsmen N10m – Gov Ortom
What is your reaction to the call by Governor Wike for the declaration of State of Emergency in Benue State? It is laughable and unfortunate because if you talk about declaring state of emergency because of killings I am aware that there are more killings in Rivers than Benue State. Here we know the rules while in Rivers State there […]
