Humor is a very universal language, which is why I try to incorporate it in everything I write and do. Humor is my language of communication, my defense mechanism, and my coping strategy. I even laugh when I’m praying, and I think God laughs with me too…He too has a sense of humor; why else will He plan a judgment day and not tell anyone the date? He wants to laugh when He sees us running with the soles of our feet hitting the backs of our heads and begging for mercy; that’s funny, even to me who is at risk by being human. I was born in Leningrad, Russia on the 14th of January at some point in time. I am from Anambra, but currently reside in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. FYI: I love blue roses!

If at the end of this piece you conclude that this is a love story, I will not mind at all. But I did not set out to make it such. I just figured I owed it to this special someone to say a few things...

I cannot count how many times I have heard Nigerian men complaining about how Nigerian women have suddenly become “smart” because they have left Nigeria. While some of what they say is only due to their inability to handle a little independence in favor of the woman, the rest of what they say is actually true...
