I am a published author, writer, blogger, social commentator, and passionate environmentalist. My first book, "Malakhala-Taboo Has Run Naked," is a critical-poetic examination of human desire. It Discusses religion, dictatorship, political correctness, cultural norms, war, relationships, love, and climate change. I spent my early days in the music industry writing songs for recording artists in the 1990s; after that, I became more immersed in the art and then performed in stage plays. My love of writing led me to work as an independent producer for television stations in southern Nigeria. I am a lover of the conservation of wildlife and the environment.
