Life sweet thus it is meant to be enjoyed

The Man On The Ground – Sitting down with Fabian Lojede
The Man On The Ground – Sitting down with Fabian Lojede Jacob’s Cross is one of my favourite series of all time!! My mom used to even joke saying she hoped nothing serious ever happened to anyone I love during the Jacob’s Cross timeslot because she feared that person would have to wait an hour before I would attend to them.

She wasn’t too far off from the truth actually, so you can imagine how thrilled I was when I found out that I would get to sit down with Bola Abayomi, I went slightly berserk actually.

An Afternoon with Olufemi
An Afternoon with Olufemi Artist’s paradise Newtown is abuzz on a warm spring day as a few celebrities cascade a man’s vision and from across the road looms a very familiar figure to the jazz cognoscentes in the country at precisely the set time for the appointment to repudiate any vestige of pre madona ideas one could have of him.

AUTHOR-RISED @ the Musaion
Kilobyte

Is it a book launch? Maybe it’s another session presented to us by Writers Forum, a session? Definitely not! 18th of September marks a day carefully hand-picked by God Himself to crown a poet by the name of Kabelo Noel known to the masses as Kilobyte.

He believes that God didn’t have to split the blessings he granted his family with his brothers and sisters as he is the only child
