LISTEN

where the hell have you been? That seem to be the question that i am asking myself. Did i just blog to say blogville is the most wonderful family, and the next minute i am MIA?

I dey o! just things here and there happening. Very plenty exciting things going on with me and in my life, plus the fact that GLO is trying to frustrate me with their internet connectivity. God pass dem.

Anyway, I am planning my return. This is not it. the post after this one wont be it either. neither is the one after that. But it is near and you will know when I am fully back in the bossom of blogville.

I am still praising God for what He has done for America. They think Obama has inherited a failing economy. Well he has. But i believe that the failing economy of USA will be Obama's victory. God uses afflictions to lift the unexpected people and bring glory to Himself. That is what will happen. In the midst of the celebrations, there are the ones waiting for Obama's failure. Just so the race can be mocked. But God has spoken and it is final. He uses the little things, to put to shame very great things of the world. In Obama, the strength and hands of God is going to work like the world has never seen it before, because at the end of the day, God's name must be glorified.

And He is coming here too. Yes. God is coming to do the same in our beloved Nigeria. The economy of this country will work. I dream of the day Americans will want to have their kids here, just so they can be citizens of this great nation Nigeria. I pray I live to see the day.

Our God is an Awesome God. The 'In God We Trust' that the Americans chant, has never been meaningful as it will be henceforth.

I have said my piece.

  2. Hallelujah you have updated…

    I shed tears when I heard he’d won…I didn’t think I would but I did. What am I going to be like on January 20th 2009?... happy I guess!!

    Black Americans have been fighting this battle…hard… as collective voice for so long…

    As for you prayers for Nigeria…I say AMEN…but prayer requires more of the heart than of the tongue…so I have to pray first that its people start to see itself as a collective…

  9. Finally u're back with us. So what's the story on ur sudden absence? Yes o. Obama is the man! I could hardly contain my joy . . . this jus goes to show that we can achieve anything we want to and there is no such thing as Limitations. YES WE CAN! I disagree with yetunde atanda. I think Chris Okotie's the Nigerian Obama. Hopefully, we'll get there someday. God bless America! God bless Nigeria! God bless me!

    @ gbengasile - yes o my brother. the story behind my absence will come when i return fully. Even I dont agree with Christ Okotie's suggestion. Someone out of the blue. From nowhere. never heard of before. Obama was a senator still in his first term in office. We need that kind of freshness

In this interview with UZEZI EKERE, he talks about his career as a dramatist and what lies ahead. Excerpts:


How long have you been involved with the theatre?
We are talking about fourteen years, and its been one long and adventurous one.

What has the journey been like for fourteen years?
It’s been very enormous really, because quite a lot of people do not know that I didn’t start as a playwright.
