Yup. Ada Verastic and I are traveling today. It will be the first time we both are going to Austin, Texas. I was in Texas some years ago for Chisom's fun wedding, but it was not in Austin, and Ada Verastic's reason for never having been to Austin is that she only came into the world three months ago. Anyway, we're going to Austin to see Uju. If Mohammed does not go to the mountain, then the mountain must go to Mohammed. Although, this isn't an apt example of Mohammed not going to the Read More
10 years old. I always imagined that when Verastic reaches such a milestone - not that every year isn't a milestone - I would be doing something huge. Like, I don't know, giving away lands in Lekki. Ha! Well, I have no land to give away today, but Ada Verastic did bless me with an explosive poop today, so that was nice. She gave me one on my birthday, too, so that was nice too. I'm guessing that's her idea of giving gifts for now. Anyway, last year when Verastic turned 9 years old, I Read More
Happy New Year and welcome to January. I sound crazy welcoming you to January, considering that today is the 21st of January.

So far in my life, I have lived in three countries and in three continents (or four continents, depending on where you believe Russia is located). First, I lived in Russia which is located on the bother of Asia and Europe. Some people call it Europe, some call it Asia, and some others just call it Eurasia. I personally could not care less. Then I lived in Nigeria, located in the continent of Africa. Contrary to ignorant belief, Africa is actually not a country. And now, I'm in America, located Read More
Yesssss oooooo! I'm a new age today. 25 to be precise. Of course. Thank You, Jesus! Today is a different birthday though. Every year, I usually put up a birthday wish list, although I do it more for entertainment than anything else. But I didn't even put one up this year. Am I growing up? Or getting old? Nope, I cannot get old. I don't know yet what I will be doing this year. I know for sure that I'm going to go visit my cousin, Toby, and take him a cake because we share the same Read More
