Made A Playlist
It has been a millenia since I was last on these writing streets. Buhari did a hell of a thing, Tinubu is doing a hell of a thing. Many people are moving to the north pole in search of better lives. Lass Lass when -30 degrees hits your soul, you will remember that summer never really ends in Naija. Yes I still use Apple Music. I know I should port to spotify but excuses.
Zanku-ing, Moonwalking from 2020 into 2021…
The last time I wrote on this blog was May 2020, happy new year people!!! 2020 was a heck of a year.

Nigerian Coronas, COVIDS, Distancing and Working from Home
“Suffering and smiling!
Every day my people dey inside bus
Every day my people dey inside bus
Forty-nine sitting, ninety-nine standing
Them go pack themselves in like sardine
Them dey faint, them dey wake like cock
Them go reach house, water no dey

Them go reach road, police go slap
Them go reach road, army go whip
Them go look pocket, money no dey
Them go reach work, query ready”
– Fela Anikulapo Kuti from the Song “Shuffering and Shmiling” (1978)
