Posted on May 12, 2015 by ayosogunro • 9 Comments

On Quora, I turned some attention to the “what if?” in alternate African history: How would Africa be today if colonialism never happened?

IDLEMINDSET |THROWBACKS, COCK-UPS AND SOME LUPITA TOO!

Posted on March 3, 2014 by ayosogunro • 3 Comments

Frankly, we don’t care much about the political skulduggery that parades up on down the pages of Nigerian newspapers because, fuck politics, that’s why.

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…
