Omaks' Speakers Corner Series Quote: Today i start a new initiative with a bit of trepidation. I am aiming to kickstart a trend that may proof popular with fellow forumites on NVS, or fall flat on it's face. Pure and simple, i want to recreate a 'Speakers' Corner' through my blogs.

It’s been two weeks now, and Becky hadn’t heard from Eniola. In fact she had not had any chance to enquire much about him because she was wrapped entirely in her own thoughts. She had withdrawn into her shell, and was not communicating much with anybody, especially her mum. Becky has been avoiding any sort of communication with her mum, though she new her mum was trying everything possible to cheer her up. Becky blames majority of the turmoil in her life right now to her mum. More importantly, she...

I thought of the appropriate way to put my feelings at present, but the most practicable of all my consideration is to post them here.
Okay, what's on my mind? It's this mad country called Nigeria, that's what's on my mind. Yes, not the average Nigerian people, but the high and mighty Nigerian elite. The corrupt politicians, the inept people managing our national affairs.
I keep asking myself all the time, why? Why do we have to tolerate all this nonsense from these...

When Becky’s mum got to her destination she was delighted to see Eniola. She hugged and extended warm greetings to him. Enitan was pretentious in his response, especially when he realised that only his mother’s sister had arrived. As far as he was concerned he would have skipped these visits to be with Becky if he had the opportunity to do so. Anyway, he was glad in part, because since only his aunt had arrived, he could hang around for a short while before excusing himself.

Eniola had lived outside of Nigeria for the most part of his life. He left the shores of Nigeria at the age of 14 years, and had not once visited after that. The strange thing is that Eniola’s allegiance to Nigeria and his Yoruba culture had not waned in spite of the long time he had been disconnected from his roots. This unwavering allegiance is the reason why Eniola decided one day that he had had enough of a bachelor’s life and wanted to settle down and marry. Eniola had decided that he was only...

I woke up this morning with a feeling of sickness, only i'm not really sick. Perhaps again i am sick, home sick that is. Oh yes i'm definitely home sick, and i've been for some months now. Every time now i see myself ruminating over the many happenings in my beloved country Nigeria. My thoughts are laced with all things Nigeria. My discussions are revolved around all things Nigeria. In fact, my choice of tv programmes are mostly Nigerian nowadays. Even my choice of drinks now are Nigerian. I'd rather...
