MY NYSC DAYS I was posted for my NYSC orientation to Efon Alaaye Camp in Ondo State. I was the first person in the camp, I arrived two days to the camping date and lodged in a hotel, while I visited the camp ground to interact with the soldiers stationed there. #NYSCat50challenge

Standing in front of the 4th tallest statue in Africa, the beautiful sculpture of Queen Moremi Ajasoro in Ile Ife. Legend had it that she was married to Oranmiyan, the son of Oduduwa, the first king of Ile-Ife. She lived in the 12th century. In order to win a war and protect her kingdom she sacrificed her son Oluorogbo to Esimiri river, a promise she made before going to war.

The results of these studies suggest that glass bead manufacture at this site was largely independent of glass-making traditions. This site represent one of the earliest known glass-production workshops in West Africa.

The recovery of glass beads and associated production materials there in the site has enabled compositional analysis of the artefacts and preliminary dating of the site, which puts the main timing of glass-working between the eleventh and fifteenth centuries AD.

Today, as Guest Speaker on the topic: “Revitalizing the public library system for national development” I was also honoured by the best set of humans on earth, Librarians. It was the Annual General Meeting of the Nigeria Library Association, Lagos State Chapter. There I receive Award number 245 by the Nigerian Library Association Lagos State Chapter. I do appreciate this recognition and I grade it as one the finest in my collections, in the last 19 years of running the CRIMMD free public library in Lagos. Thanks so much to our able Lagos Chairperson, Dr. Ajayi Taiwo and her executive members.

I was facing the bucket and backing the wash-hand basin, I would have hit my head on the wash-hand basin if not for God, somehow I managed to struggle and I landed with my right rib. The rest became history as I ended up in the hospital.

How I almost fell in love with a female waiter. I was a guest at a wedding event and for some reason, most people were served food and no one served me, and then walked in this 'Sky dropped on earth looking lady',
