The Journey From Lagos to Ibadan By Train. On a Saturday morning, while the rest of my household still slept, I quietly slid into a cab with my travel backpack and mumbled some greeting to the driver. He responded cheerfully, before adding “It says you’re going to The Mobolaji Johnson train station”?. That’s correct, I
My New Home Office Space. I’ve been working from home for the better part of the last two months and it has inspired a few creative decisions. One of which was my decision to stop making excuses and put together a content and home office space for myself. I was over complaining about how there is
