About Me
- Wordsbody
- I am a writer and arts journalist now based in Lagos. This is a blog on arts and culture. The focus is on Nigeria's art scene, especially her 'Word's Body' - the writers.

Thanks for the generous comment. Things ain't always golden though; and I sometimes wonder how things might have been on this end too, if one had not made certain life choices...
Will endeavour to 'rock on'.
