Àkòdì Òrìṣà:
a dream is gradually taking shape.
I know you’re tired.
I know you are broke. Very broke.
I know that all your friends are making it, but things are not just working for you right now.
I know you are annoyed.
The beginning of time.
Is it a house?
Or a kolanut?
Is this thing an insect inside the mystery of life?
Have you heard the news?
Nigeria is rated more corrupt now than ever before.
Nigeria ranks in the bottom 40 nations in the world.
In West Africa, only Guinea is rated worse than Nigeria.
And Botswana is rated best in Africa.

Haven’t seen my homeland since August 2019.
I miss the colorful attires on the streets.
I want to listen to the people speak their various languages.
To drink palm wine.
