I went on a walk this morning, and it felt really good.

As I walked, something occurred to me: The world is an incredible garden in which we were meant to simply hang out, enjoy, party, make love and multiply.

But what do we really do?

We bitch, hate, steal, cheat, lie, cry and even kill.

The Corona prophet, therefore, came to warn us.

He sent us to our rooms and instructed us NOT to come out until we have learned our lessons.

But no. We don’t listen. For example, this morning I left my room and went on a long walk. And it felt really good.

I teach now by Zoom.

It feels weird to sit in the studio, talking to a screen, wondering if you are not crazy.

The computer tells me the names of everybody logged into the class, listening and watching me.

But who else is with them, also watching and listening? How far will the recording of the session travel?

1234. That was what my clock read. Thirty-four minutes past midnight.Perfect math, I thought. I got up to take a walk. I plugged my ears with my earphones and turned on Apple Music 1. I stepped out into the darkness of the night. The Apple Music Radio deejay started playing some tunes. It was streaming all over the world from London.

HATE AND LOVE ARE BROTHER AND SISTER

I ran into one of my childhood friends in Ile Ife two years ago. He is now a university professor.

We decided to go and get a drink and as we started drinking, we discussed the pleasures of living together in the same house as children for many years.

We all lived together as one family in that house.

He was the son of Baba Alhaji, the landlord.
