Today’s Prayer

ByMoyo Okediji

Of ego purge me

Of vanity exorcise me

Of hate, of envy, jealousy

Of covetousness cleanse me

Free me of malice, animosity and spitefulness

Of avarice, greed, cravings, thirst, hunger

Release me.

Saturate me with love and only love.

–Moyo Okediji

Portrait of Moyo Okediji

ByMoyo Okediji

This is the latest Portrait of Moyo Okediji by a young Nigerian artist, Femi Okediji. I really enjoy his mastery of chiaroscuro. The loose strokes of his composition merge structurally into a coherent musical gradient that gives form to my facial expression.

Egungun Festival Day in Austin TX, this afternoon.

I’m dressed for it.

We are celebrating the rituals of our ancestors.

Igbohoism

ByMoyo Okediji

What is Igbohoism?

1. You need drinking water. You pay taxes to the government. The government refuses to provide you with drinking water, because the politicians would rather steal your money for their own personal purposes.

You dig water wells to provide you with water to drink and use for your household needs.

That is Igbohoism.
