Being Nigerian: The Due Date Edition

Some days ago at work, I was in Elizabeth's office as usual. Elizabeth is my very cool and friendly co-worker. She's Puerto Rican and pregnant, and everyone knows when she's due because the month and date is posted on her door. It's in April. Anyway, while at her office, her unborn baby decided to show us (Lisa and me) his moves. I could see her belly going up and down, and I thought it was so beautiful and glorious - the miracle of a life jumping inside of her. It reminded me of when my aunt Read More

As you know, I ended up not having a birthday party as I was originally planning to do. For the actual birthday, I didn't want to do much of anything. I told Igwe that we should just go to The Cheesecake Factory and call it a night. We both love The Cheesecake Factory, and we go there so much that we don't even look at the menu before ordering. Before dinner, I first stopped at Toby's house. Toby is my little cousin and we share the same birthday. He was supposed to be born in April, but he Read More

Rest In Peace, Uncle Andrew Ezimora

I woke up yesterday morning to a text from my cousin, Ngozi, in London, "Uncle Andy is dead." And so many things ran through my mind. How did he die? When did he die? Was he ill? What happened? What about Iyke (his son)? And how is my dad, his younger brother doing? I don't do New Year Resolutions, but I made a list of things to do in 2014, and the second thing on my list is to build or mend relationships with family. I come from a large extended family, especially on my dad's part. My dad is Read More
