I am a Nigerian Creative Writer and Performing artist with skills ranging from storytelling to sound production. I believe that conscious storytelling can influence the world, one person at a time. I am freelancer, working with organizations and individuals to articulate technical ideas in the most fun, rhythmic and musical way; writing poetry, songs, scripts or producing sound. I have a growing music catalogue on streaming sites and an impressive number of spoken word videos on YouTube.

As If Children Were Out of Fashion

As if children send us a message before they are conceived and born,
With words so eloquently formed,
Beseeching "I want to born, I want to be born"
Stating in clear terms that this world is a place for which they long.

I have questions,
Concerning joy and sadness, gloom or gladness,
As regards grief,
And why, one day, we all must take our share of what it gives.

Or the agony conceived from the news...

A Rock and a Hard Place

When you are at the brink of danger,

Letter Poem

Dear Ashley
I have heard so much of you
As my fingers flirt with my pen
I craft these words for you
I hope my lines are read
As I write my eyes are red
Because it hurts to know that you secretly weep
And wipe the tears you shed

You...

The poem flowed so easily, drawing me in to read it loud. I loved the little humour about the campaign theme while running for President. In general, it spoke to my inner child. I loved that.
