I published an ebook on 27th Jan, 2017 which barely 50 people have read. I have decided to let more people read it today. You may find this absolutely liberating. A few who have read it have told me they were FREED by the stories. I’d love to know your experience too.
A little more than 2 years ago, someone influential told me that I should do everything to get a second passport because knowing what he knows (he’s an insider), ‘these people' don’t care about Nigeria.
