These years will change you. Let it happen. You are metal in the forge finding form beneath the smith's hammer. You are a caged bird set free, listening to the four winds sing of wondrous possibilities: that heaven is a rush of blood to the head away.

If anybody has published one recently.

"Nothing is more real than hope"

[Adésóyè @victorfatanmi]

If Nigerians feel good and hopeful about the future, we will get to work and fix Nigeria ourselves. It’s not only by constructing bridges, trade zones and fixing Lagos-Ibadan (and they never complete those projects btw). It’s why GDP can be growing but we are still in pain.

[Adésóyè @victorfatanmi]

Please don’t vote wisely. Dayo Israel may try to convince you that BAT is the wise decision. Please vote PO. You see those inspiring speeches and his visits here and there? Someone might call it props and media, but nothing is more real than hope.

“P said Emmanuel Iduma is the writer TC tries so hard to be, and possibly convinces himself that he is but he is merely a painfully boring version of Iduma.” 

@babstoxyn, please @ P. I want to throw hands. 😭

@babstoxyn Don't worry about that. Just @ him. 🥺

[Láolú Poe Àlàní @AlaniPoe]

@iwalesino I would buy a signed copy of that.

I also keep thinking about how an interesting addition to your bio would be: Ọ̀rọ̀ p'èsì jẹ.

Que sais-je? Ọ̀rọ̀ p'èsì jẹ.

Akin Adesokan's Ibadan, Soutin and the Puzzle of Bower’s Tower never loses its wonder for me. I would like to produce work of a similar form someday.

[Láolú Poe Àlàní @AlaniPoe]

I suppose I should read everything on this list

@TroyOnyango Can I share an unpublished story with you?

[Láolú Poe Àlàní @AlaniPoe]

Where would you submit a memoir to? Lolwe or Brittlepaper?
