Good news everyone: this is our last blog post for the year! Difficult as it is for some of you, our admiring readers, to believe, we don’t actually sit crossed-leg on the writing table, smoking profoundly on a kick-ass pipe, while the Good Lord inspires us with all these awesome posts.  Hell, no!

IDLEMINDSET | THE FOOD, THE WHOLE FOOD, AND NOTHING BUT THE FOOD

Posted on December 17, 2012 by ayosogunro • 30 Comments

Today, we will talk culinary things and fine dining: where to get good food, how to eat good food, and most importantly, how to avoid paying for good food. In the tradition of vain imaginations and inane glorification that exists in this country, a lot of Nigerians think Federal Executive Council meetings are a gathering … Continue reading →

IDLEMINDSET | THESE ARE OUR FREAKING HEROES

Posted on December 10, 2012 by ayosogunro • 52 Comments

My Book: Everything in Nigeria is Going To Kill You

Everything in Nigeria is Going To Kill You

THE PARADOXICAL LIFESTYLE OF THE AVERAGE NIGERIAN IS THE SUM OF THIS BOOK... My relentless pursuit of an understanding of the survival abilities of the average Nigerian in a system that is definitely dysfunctional. Some of us complain, some of us protest, some of us go spiritual and still many others go material, and also a few of us turn to the arts for solace—we write, not to cure other people of madness, but to avoid going mad ourselves…
