Left Field
The journey so far has been a fair balance of both worlds, a frequent taste of two extremes. I have been bold and timid, confident and nervous in the same circumstance. I have dared many instances and I have refrained in many.
Many times I have been down and wanted life to end, and other times I have enjoyed life and wished for more of it. I have probably cried more than most men and in other times, rejoiced more than many. In all these, one thing I can say is, life does not just happen.
Therefore, it might be a bit unfair to hoard the experiences that have birthed answers to some questions not openly asked or topics not easily discussed.

The Bead Collector
Lagos, January 1976, six years after the Nigerian Civil War. A new military regime has been in power for six months, but rumours are spreading that a counter-coup is imminent. At an art exhibition in the affluent Ikoyi neighbourhood, Remi Lawal, a Nigerian woman who runs her own greeting-card shop, meets Frances Cooke, who introduces herself as an American art dealer, in Nigeria to buy rare beads. They become friends and over the next few weeks confide in each other about their aspirations, loyalties, marriage, motherhood – and Nigeria itself, as hospitable Remi welcomes the enigmatic Frances into her world. Remi’s husband, Tunde, naturally suspects Frances – like any American in Lagos – of gathering intelligence for the CIA, yet she is unconvinced. Cynical about the country’s unending instability, and alienated by the shallowness of the city’s elite, she willingly shares her views with Frances. But the February 13 assassination of General Muhammed prompts Remi to reconsider one particular conversation with her new acquaintance in a different light.
