Why Is Monica Lewinsky Sounding Like The Victim?

This is a serious question. Every time Igwe and I start talking about infidelity in relationships, he reminds me that he already knows how I feel. Yes, I have very strong views about infidelity and relationships in general. Very, very strong views. So 16 years ago, Monica Lewinsky did whatever she did with Bill Clinton. Unfortunately for her, Bill Clinton is a man who is much loved by so many people, so in spite of his indiscretion, he seems to have been forgiven by the general public. So Read More

So You Think Your Past Doesn’t Matter?

I woke up yesterday morning to find my Instagram feed over flooded with pictures like the ones here and hash tagged with #BringBackOurGirls.

Why I Don’t Blog About Nigeria Often

I am very much aware of the things going on in Nigeria. I know that there are over 200 girls missing, and I know that Boko Haram is still going ham on us, and I know that our leaders have not gotten better, and it is exactly for these reasons and more that I don't blog about Nigeria much. Every time I think about the problems we have in Nigeria, a deep anger resonates within me. A few years ago, the plan was to move back to Nigeria. I knew I'd experience culture shock in my own country, Read More
