My childhood friend, Chisom is getting married. Woooot! I have not seen him in at least 12 years, and I'm really excited. So the wedding is in Dallas - I think. I assume it's Dallas because I will be landing in the DFW Airport. It's my first time in Texas - I hear everything is bigger there - but I have not packed a single thing!

United Sounds of Africa Tour: Best [Nigerian] Concert Ever? Plus Pictures Of Me & The Stars

Two disclaimers: I am writing this as a personal opinion, not a fact. My judgment is based only on the [Nigerian] concerts that I have attended. Secondly, this concert was marketed and sold as an African - not Nigerian - concert, but I have decided to reserve my right to call it what I want. This past Monday, August 6th 2012, Igwe and I headed to Washington D.C for the United Sounds of Africa Tour (concert). As of twenty-four hours before, I was not completely sure that I will make it because Read More
