About Me

I'M A WRITER AND POET FROM A GEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND. I SPEAK AND WRITE IN ENGLISH, HAUSA AND YORUBA. I POSSESS A SMATTERING OF FRENCH, TOO. I LOOK FWD TO ARABIC, AS WELL! I SEEK TO SETTLE DOWN TO A LIFETIME OF WRITING AND AV PRODUCTIONS - I'M PRESENTLY IN THE THICK OF CREATING A COLLECTION OF POETRY FOR CHILDREN, ONE OF MY PASSIONS ALONG WITH MUSIC ( "FROZEN" - THAT'S ARCHITECTURE; AND SOUND&LYRICS - THAT'S 'FLUID'). BOOK IS TITLED: THE BAKER'S DOZEN - NEW POETRY FOR CHILDREN EVERYWHERE: ADVENTURES IN SENSE AND SOUND. ANIMATED "TAGALONG" ADAPTATIONS ARE TO FOLLOW. I'M WORKING ON GETTING A GOOD PUBLISHER [BEST ILLUSTRATIONS; VERY GOOD ROYALTIES PLAN!] TO HANDLE THE BOOK. I HAVE A PLAY FOR RADIO THAT'S AWAITING PRODUCTION: "THE MANDATE," AND A FEW TENS OF POEMS FOR ADULTS, TOO. THERE ARE A NO. OF SHORT STORY SKETCHES AS WELL - WAITING TO BE GIVEN FULL TREATMENT! I HOPE TO WRITE AN ER-TYPE SERIES FOR TV, FROM MY EARTH SCIENCE BACKGROUND (GNEISS: SOMETHING BENEATH THE SURFACE). IT IS MY TAKE ON LIFE THAT "THINGS MUST CHANGE - IF THEY ARE TO REMAIN THE SAME." BUT "CHANGE" HAS TO BE MEDIATED! IF IT IS TO BE ENDURING, IT IS NEVER imMEDIATE. HENCE THE POWER OF THE MEDIA, WHICH I FIND TO BE MY TURF. IT IS THE KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY! "A TURN IN THE ROAD IS NOT THE END OF THE ROAD - UNLESS YOU FAIL TO MAKE THE TURN!" (MYLES MUNROE). I SEEK TO HELP PEOPLE CReATE WEALTH - AND TO STOP conFISTICATING "IT". I WORK AS A FREELANCE EDITOR AND PUBLISHING CONSULTANT. I'M AN ADULT INSRUCTOR MEMBER OF "CLINTON HILL'S KIDS FOR SAVING EARTH, KSE," A US-BASED NONPROFIT ORG, AND ALSO SOLID FOUNDATION (LAGOS, NIGERIA), AN OUTREACH TO TEENAGERS.
