10 11 Things My Daddy Is Good At:1. Being funny. No one has made me laugh like him. He has a very active imagination like me. Two of us are usually the only ones who can see the striking resemblance between a person and a thing --- like that woman who looks like a maggot. Don't ask.2. Being silly. When we had three Ngozis in my house, my dad always made it a point to call out their name for no reason, knowing that they would all assemble at his presence. And when they get Read More

I, on the other hand, couldn't Read More
It's Father's Day today.I'm not quite sure what to say about my Daddy. I feel like I have said most things. The rest, I just don't know how to say. I love the man to bits. I don't think he can ever do me wrong. Mom believes I always take my Dad's side. I beg to defer. But if it's true, then I am not surprised. Dad has made so many mistakes - most of which he will never admit. But I know. And I think he knows that I know. In spite of all his mistakes, he's still my boo. He says and Read More
Today is my daddy's birthday.I want to type a long poetic, literary post, full of twists and turns, full of enigmatic sentences that have conspicuous meanings. What an oxymoron, I know.

And he has a belly that has been pregnant for as long as I can remember. Rumor (aka my mother) has it that the pregnancy is as a result Read More
