Just saw this video and it brought tears to my eyes:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHdkyvn41us
It is of a young Nigerian woman who is beaten for not giving way to Traffic Rear Admiral Harry Arogundade's convoy. This is DEMOCRAZY !!!! in Fela's words: Demonstration of craze. watch and weep for Nigeria ( as if we don't have enough reasons to weep for her already)

Back again!
Happy new year to everyone ( a bit late in the year but well meant nevertheless). I made some resolutions this year: and I've broken a few already: I bought a new coat and I bought a new pair of boots (-:
But I've been good at keeping the rest: writing (not lots but enough), reading (mainly re-reading: Atwood's Moral Disorder and other stories) and cooking for my family (with really good results)
I was at the African writers' Week in Oslo in October and had a fabulous time. I met Ama Ata Aidoo (she's brilliantly down to earth) and Niq Mhlongo for the first time and reconnected with old pals. It was awesome (never mind the cold) and I bought a pair of killer Jimmy Choo's (-:
Can't wait for the summer to wear them. They are high and beautiful and beautiful and beautiful and should feature ina short story. They really deserve to
