Ghana, 2017. My first month in exile, never been back fully in Nigeria since then. I was so young and alive back then. The years here have taken their toll on me.

“Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope.”– Ursula K. Le Guin
