Well…

The equation for success is not always Brains = Success.

The correct equation is: Brains and/or Bravery = Success.

Is Peller an olodo or not?

I don’t care. But I’m entertained by the whole Olodo Uprising discourse started by our one and only YCEE.

But I kinda understand why the olodo talk keeps following Peller…

[Elah Gawan @dabo_elah]

If you’re truly brave about something, a result must follow. Either positive or negative. It’s like a cause-and-effect type of thing.

So is a Peller an olodo? Maybe
But is he also a weakling who couldn’t stick to and follow his dreams?

I just came back from Nigeria and it was an eye-opener!

As someone who works in the media and who launched a media venture to challenge stereotypes and counter dominant narratives, I didn't think I would be affected by all the negative talk that preceded my trip. But, sadly, I did.

The moment my friends and family learnt I was travelling to Abuja, I was bombarded by advice to "be careful", "don't walk on your own", "avoid strangers", etc. These phrases would have been ok, had they been the same ones I would hear when announcing I would travel to London, Paris or any other European capital. But they weren't. When I tell my friends and family, I am traveling to Europe, I am swamped with requests for shopping and other expressions of excitement. This time it was all signs of worry and genuine concern.

When my flight landed in Abuja, I found myself growing a bit anxious. But the moment I stepped outside of the plane, I realised how silly I was and was actually upset I let stereotypes get to me.

I was greeted with "welcome ma" as I walked through the tunnel. At immigration, I was greeted by a very warm female officer who commended my hair :)) - that made my day! As I waited for my luggage, someone approached me asking if I needed help. And as I walked outside looking for the driver who was supposed to pick me up, someone asked if I had his number so he could call him up for me. I've been travelling for most of my life, I lived in 5 different countries across 3 continents, and never in my life have I experienced such warmth and kindness in any other foreign country.

I spent lovely three days in Nigeria, two of them were fully occupied with the first African Solutions Journalism Summit (I will write another post about that) and the third day I spent exploring the city and buying lovely artifacts and enjoying Plantain Chips - we need to import these in Egypt!

Hosting more international events in Africa must be a priority. We - Africans - should travel more inside the continent and tell each other our truth. I am so sorry i let stereotypes affect me even for a second.

Thank you Nigeria for being so warm, kind and hospitable. I will definitely be coming back.
