In a world relentlessly driven by the pursuit of material possessions, it is tragically easy to lose sight of what truly sustains us in our most vulnerable moments.

In October 1966 my late father Lawrence Obi Nwankwo Nwaezeigwe escaped the pogrom by the whiskers in the Northern city of Bauchi. Many of his
Relax, thou created by the most high. If you are deserving of the Lord's mercy, at his time, he will find you out and bestow it on you.
It is not in what you do or don't do but it is as God wills. Remember, he makes all things beautiful in his time.
Echoes from Ajijola Adebiyi: What Truly Matters in Our Shared Human Tapestry
Ajijola Adebiyi Street, an unmapped but vital pathway in Akute, Nigeria, offers a poignant glimpse into a reality often unseen by those in more privileged areas. Descending steeply into the Ogun River ravine, this "street" is inaccessible to vehicles, forcing residents to rely solely on foot, navigating treacherous inclines and jagged rocks daily. An overnight stay in a humble two-bedroom home at the base of this slope reveals a microcosm of resilient living: unfiltered human conversations drifting through unpaned windows, the rhythmic sounds of nature and daily commutes, and a family's quiet dedication to work, education, and unwavering faith amidst humble surroundings.
The Mirror We Refuse to See: Leadership Starts With Us
Reflecting on Nigeria, my experiences reveal a stark contrast between outward religiousness and unethical behaviour in daily life. I argue the problem extends beyond leadership, rooted in a widespread moral compromise requiring individual integrity for true change. Ultimately, our leaders mirror ourselves.
Lost in the Whispers of Greenmount: My Fortnight Immersed in the Spirit of KSP
The writing journey thrives on connection, and the KSP Writers' Centre in Greenmount fosters that through the Caruso Residency and similar initiatives. As the Writer in Residence in early 2025, I had the opportunity to engage with this creative community, expanding my network and honing my craft. This writeup reflects my experience and the invaluable support the residency provided.
Look Ever Forward
Politics, a tough arena where only victory counts, recently concluded its Australian Federal Elections. Our family experienced this firsthand with a dear friend's electoral loss. In such moments, finding strength is key. What follows is a letter I wrote to her, encouraging her to maintain her aspirations and always look ahead.
A Day in the Life of a PhD Researcher: The Relentless Pursuit of Knowledge
As a researcher, my days are a whirlwind of intellectual pursuit and disciplined routine. From the moment I wake, my mind is already buzzing with problems to solve and theories to refine. Balancing my work and personal life feels like walking a tightrope, but it’s a challenge I embrace.
My workspace is a battleground of books, notes, ideas, and of relentless questions I seek to answer. Long hours spent poring over data, running experiments, or analyzing texts demand both stamina and curiosity. Coffee often becomes a steadfast companion in these moments.
Despite the occasional frustrations—dead ends in research, the weight of deadlines, and the inevitable self-doubt—I remind myself of the impact this journey holds. Each small step forward contributes to a larger tapestry of knowledge. It’s the passion to discover and the hope of making a difference that keeps me moving.

The Ikenga’s in Museums Around The World: Reflections on the African Art Artefacts Debate
My reflection on the presence of African artifacts in museums worldwide delves into the broader implications of housing African art outside its place of origin. This supports the call by renowned voices, such as Chimamanda Adichie, for the return of these cultural treasures to their homelands. The article underscores the importance of preserving and honoring indigenous cultures, while raising critical questions about ownership, legacy, and the role of museums in contemporary society.
The Ikorodu Mafia
The long, early commutes to my Peninsula office were a defining feature of my early career. But those journeys were far from solitary. They were a tapestry of interactions with fellow commuters, men and women whose lives intertwined with mine. It was a time when our Nigeria felt like a single community, bound not by tribe, but by a shared pursuit of knowledge, mutual support, and a celebration of our common humanity
A Doctor, without touching blood.
The journey of a thousand miles, they say, begins with a step. So, after much dragging of feet, I began a new phase in my educational pursuit, the quest for a doctorate degree.

From Accounts to Siberia: My Brush with Bureaucratic Corruption

Yosemite – El Capitan and the Merced River
A few metres ahead of us are the pine trees, which with the huge mountain backdrop is probably the reason why this area is popular with many visitors. It was cold and there are little sheets of ice on the wooden bridge calling for extreme caution as we walked. Looking up at the mountain, one could see scattered white coverings being the snow flakes as they glitter in the morning sun. Also adding to the beauty is the waterfall high up the mountain. A tree lay on the floor with its root intact somehow depicting it was hewn next to which is the wooden chair for visitors to sit and absorb the beauty of nature, undisturbed.
The Evolution of Morality: From Achan

Not Pretty but good enough II
There was no walking down the street to play with some neighbourhood friends and definitely no invitation for friends to come over and play soccer as I did at Oke-Labo. Our movements were fairly predictable - to school and back, to church or to some families for the occasional birthdays and celebrations for Christmas etc. We were truly ‘ajebota’ kids, protected by solid walls and iron gates.
There is a mousetrap in the house
The mouse turned to the pig and told him, There is a mouse trap in the house.
I am so very sorry Mr. Mouse, sympathized the pig, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray; be assured that you are in my prayers.
The mouse turned to the cow, who replied, Like wow, Mr. Mouse, a mouse trap; am I in grave danger, Duh?
So the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected to face the farmer's mouse trap alone.
Lekki, in the beginning
I knew I was meant to work in the Oil&Gas industry but how I would do this was totally oblivious to me. At the University, I had taken up "Sheikh" as my nickname, a title befitting a Gulf Arab Elder that dispenses oil wealth to his people.
At HIS appointed time, which definitely wasn't mine as I had given up to face a career in Banking, my feet were re-ordered. This post gives a sneek peek on how I got into the career.
A Thousand and One Incisions
I would get woken up and, looking at the staircase, would see my father with his left hand resting on the rail, his right hand holding his chin with his eyes looking at me from the distance. His look was intense as if saying “come child”. A few times I had woken up those sleeping next to me, pointing at the staircase and shouting “Daddy is here”, but like those with Paul on the road to Damascus, they saw nothing and cautioned me to stop disrupting their sleep.
Not Pretty but good enough
At break time, a pupil went around ringing the brass bell, something that we really looked forward to with excitement. Our excitement was not for the bell but what comes after it, the arrival of the ‘Iya Olounje’. Smartly dressed in deep blue gowns, they come into the different classrooms and set down their food trays right next to the blackboard. As she opens the food, the scintillating aroma fills the classroom and not a few of us would start salivating. Our food containers which we had deposited at the start of the day would be taken by the woman and filled with whatever food was for the day

I heard the frogs croak
We all pay lip service to Global Warming. In Ogombo, the green forests are being cut down daily to make way for estates while paying little or no attention to the impact on the environment of the deforestation and depopulation of native animals.
The reason why many of us don't hear the frogs croak again.
Ujevwu Train Station
Corruption is endemic in Nigeria. True, and we are all part of the problems.
At Ujevwu, the ticket racketeering is costing the country revenue losses and embarrassment as passengers are being accepted into the train without allocated seats.
An experience with the Police
A lost phone brings tremendous inconveniences. Getting the police involved adds more to the cost and with really no value added, it is apparent why many Nigerians don't report issues to the police.
Visiting the police station is costly and hardly provides any solution
We are the world’s best farmers
“ I will like to farm"
“There’s no problem with that mate, plenty of land to choose from. I mean acres and acres of it”
“But, what about water?”
“Oh, I didn’t tell you? There’s water underground but you probably shouldn’t bet on it. Too salty and barely good for anything”
“Any help from government, subsidies may be?”
“Quit whining and get on with the work mate. At best the government will give you a discount off your diesel cost. That’s it, don’t expect more”
Had I flinched, when I should have scurried…
I narrowly escaped being killed, in the hands of the same uniformed men that had killed Dele Udoh 4 years earlier. With death, there usually is no premonition and I had none on this fateful day. I was walking on the pedestrian walkway by the side of the big car park opposite the CBN but adjacent to Cocoa House.

My half-brother is a teacher and my Uncle as well. I am totally convinced that the Bakare’s have paid their dues to teaching and I feel a need to fashion a different path, one that I have no clue on where to start. Accountancy it is going to be but how do I become one?

That candles be brought
I don’t know the answers that the organizers have but I struggle to understand how this planned demonstration will do Nigeria or her citizens any good. First, except there is an economic incentive, no government will intercede in the running of Nigeria. And, if ever, sanctions are levied (which will not happen because of the exploitative relationship), I still don’t see how the common man on the streets of Ibadan or Auchi is well served. However, if the intent is to increase the level of despise the average Australians have for Nigerians, this is definitely a great way to achieve that. So let’s go ahead.

Shaken, Not Stirred
I was shaken, not stirred. If I had succumbed to being stirred, I probably would have ended up as an omo eleran (meat seller) or running relay races in traffic to sell bread and cold drinks. Grateful for extraordinary coincidences that took me out of the miry clay.
Religious Tolerance & Dundun Brought Me Back
Boarding houses, lacking in good supervision, in those days was horrible. With good intentions, I was sent there but I could have died.

Alice Olaoti Adufe
A society grows great when old women plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit.
Alice Olaoti Adufe Bakare was one such lady, whose life is worth celebrating and immortalizing. There are many women like her who died unsung yet their labour of love is being reaped by society today. Without her, I probably would not have become who I am.
What do we know?
There are a whole lot of folks out there, calling themselves ordained to preach God's words. Many takes a sentence or phrase from the scripture and propagate an entire theology around same.
In so doing, the claim, to know God and speak for him. They attest to his unchangeble character and thus, condemn many who otherwise would have come humbly to Christ.
I have taken the position that we are each akin to one of the six blind men positioned around an Elephant (God) and asked to define what an Elephant is. In that Indian story, each man defined the elephant based on his experience from touching that little part of the Elephant he was exposed to. So is our understanding of God as well. We only know that little part that has been revealed to us and as such should be very careful in then objectively defining god based on this.
Daughter of Destiny
Pakistan, though in Asia, has had it rough as Nigeria in West Africa. It has had to survive years of instability from military rule, unruly political class and war. Similar story with Nigeria which calls for an examination of that country, perhaps there are some lessons to learn.
FAITH AND WISDOM
So the big question is, when do we apply wisdom and when do we shift gear to faith. I will attempt an answer, one that is not scriptural but entirely what I am guarded by. I would apply wisdom in any area of life where human efforts can change outcomes and apply faith where it can't. Basically I am saying I will resort to self-help where it works and shift to faith where it won't. Now I speak for myself and not for faith leaders.
“Unbelievable” In Minthukundi
The names here. Minthukundi, Karijini, sounds African and there could well be a good connection between the aborigines of Australia and our African ancestors.
The journey from Auski Village brought us fully round the Karijini park, visiting some very beautiful and well preserved natural formations. Looking at the rocks, layers upon layers, it needs no telling that Earth has endured for generations before us.

Arriving Marble Bar, the city will not hold its silence as being the warmest city in Australia. One of the six signs welcoming visitors to the town says "Warmest Welcome From Australia's Hottest Town." It was as if there is joy to be classified as the most hellish place on heart because of its souring temperature. The town set a world record of most consecutive days of 100 °F (37.8 °C) or above, during a period of 160 days from 31 October 1923 to 7 April 1924. Another sign informs that the "Shire of East Pilbara Largest Shire in the World". It was as if the town is desperate to lay claim to something and wants everybody to know of its importance.

The challenge with leadership in today’s Africa, and for years to come, will always be how to restore the lost strength to the mainframe. There are a couple of brilliant ideas available in the public space on how to achieve this. However, we should continually challenge three things:
1. Any discussion of Africa’s development that fails to acknowledge the retrogressive impact of Europeans arrival on our shores;
2. Thoughts and expressions that argue that the Europeans have left and Africa is now in the hands of Africans and they have not achieved development for Africans. Have they really left?
3. Complacency – Dropping our guard and allowing the physical, cyber and other means of colonization from other fronts. The Chinese are currently making in-roads into Africa, this will leave us worse-off than the Europeans did.
