Recklessly authentic.
The real question is when and how to post. So thank you to everyone who has contacted me through many, many ways (e-mails, phone calls, bbms, texts, tweets, FB messages, etc) to encourage me to post the story - even the international ones. I throway yansh for all of you. I assure you, I'm working on it. I did not know how much people loved gist till my last post. It almost makes me want to do this again. Okay, maybe not. Read More
I cannot count on one hand how many times I have written about married men. As God would bear me witness, I, Vera Ezimora, have never been involved with a married man. I may not be married, but I regard the institution of marriage very highly. I maintain that marriage is not by force.

A lot of people don't know I'm Igbo. They think I'm either Yoruba or Middle-Belt Nigerian, and I can't say I blame them much. Ezimora isn't the most Igbo name. It's not like Okoroafor or Nnamdi. And those that don't know my last name assume that I'm Yoruba because of my association: Funmie, Busola, Ajoke --- and the likes. I can't blame them either. If I wasn't so sure, I would think I'm a Yoruba girl, too. Whenever I meet an Igbo person, it's like a treat to me, but this isn't about me. This Read More
