“I enjoyed sniffing the fresh cement in our new flat until the day I stood next to mum’s grave and the smell of its fresh cement walls wafted up to me…”

Ernest Hemingway said, “The first draft of anything is shit.”
Do these words encourage writers to embrace their flaws or does it subconsciously trap us in the claws of perfectionism? I wrote about my experience in this piece.

@gbengabiyi @geegpay_hq Writing Amina’s story got me out of a 3 year creative slump and I enjoyed the challenge of whipping up something different from my usual research work. Just like the smell of new houses for Amina, perhaps this story might indicate a new beginning for my creative writing journey.
The Explosion In Ibadan, the little I know so far.
On my show on @freshfmibadan this evening, I interviewed my senior colleagues who went to the site of explosion and the Special Adviser to Gov. Seyi Makinde on Security Matters, retired CP Fatai Owoseni. Here are the little updates so far
1. No one could authoritatively say what the nature of the explosion is
2. The impact is felt at about 500m radius
3. The explosion happened around Dejo Oyelese Close, Off Adeyi Avenue, Old Bodija
4. There's no need for anyone to go there to see what's happening. Security operatives are there and rescue workers. It's good that they should have clear access to rescue people as some may be buried under rubbles
5. Oyo State governor has instructed hospitals to admit anyone that's brought in from the explosion site and start attending to them immediately
6. All residents in the affected areas are advised to leave their house this evening, just in case of secondary explosion.
7. All hotels are to allow people who come in from the explosion site and around it. The state government will settle them.
