In Dependence




October such a nice month. Nigeria's independence Day on the 1st and my birthday on the 10th. We had independence day celebrations here in Birmingham UK at The Drum on the 4th of October. Was fortunate to meet Sarah Ladipo Manyika there, who read passages from her Novel - In dependence. I did some of my poetry there. October is Black History month in UK and gave a talk at a celebration today organized by Livingwell Community Church and Ishango science Club. Spoke about Africa- 53 countries, 905 million people etc etc etc
