Dear Dad
I will publish soon! How soon? Months. Certainly, this year.
From what happened in the votes today - peaceful national assembly polls nationwide - I'm speeding up my speed! We don't know the results yet, but it is sufficient that the exercise was peaceful and successful. Period.
My corpus is multidimensional and multisectoral, and my options are increasingly improving as we speak. The world of publishing is being revolutionized, what with Print-on-Demand (POD), electronic publishing (eBooks) and global markets, thanks to the Internet and ICT. Unlike in the past, today's authors can rightly see the universe as their audience: Just seek and keep your readers/listeners/consumers!
After the elections, ICT will explode in Nigeria. In its wake, Dad, things will happen. Good, good things.
So, you and Mom should watch and pray! My works are warming up!
Always

Life is about lives
Dad, Mom
The overarching value you put in us, even from my infancy, was how to value life. You both lived for others! I'm grateful I saw it, and imbibed it. I've tried to pass this on as well. At least, I'm striving.
We watch in horror today as people actively destroy lives across the globe, and find it difficult to sleep. When those people are so-called leaders, wasting their own citizens for the sake of political or ethnic or religious power, we bleed!
Who is to know what a leader could turn out to be or become when they are voted into, or forcibly take, office? But murdering your own people to stay in office is blatant and utterly bad. I am being very polite, Mom, very polite.
It is a human failing. We've had our unfair shave in Nigeria, too. Which is how we can understand and sympathize and empathize with others in its throes. And why we as a nation must, and do, ask our country to speak up for all oppressed peoples around the world; and to always act with others to bring succour and solidarity to all such peoples - as groups, as individuals.
Today is my birthday; my thoughts for the day.
Love
Dayo
