Almost every girl has this dream. The dream of a young, tall, handsome, rich prince coming up to ask for her hand in marriage. She says yes, then he rides off with her into the sunset, and they live happily ever after. The funny thing, I wasn't like most girls, I wanted something different. As expected, the week before the wedding, my numerous aunts threw me a spinster party. One said, “It is delightful to lose your virginity on your wedding night. Your husband will be proud and cherish you for eternity.” Another added; “Like a virgin, you are a blank canvas for your husband to draw his unique design on. He finally gets to do it every day, your body will yearn for him, even when he isn't there.” Wow! They painted a picture that made me want to run to him right then, I couldn’t wait. So, on my wedding night, which was my first time, I was a bit nervous, but I was looking forward to making love, from all the sweet things I heard will happen. I kept my virginity for twenty years plus, and now I was about to give it away to the one and the only man with whom I believed I would spend the rest of my life. Yet despite all my expectations, something happened along the way that would change the essence of my marriage forever. To understand what happened and the need for this confession. I must start from the beginning. My name is Lola, and this is my story.
a constellation of cravings
Colourful, poignant and straight to the heart; 'A constellation of cravings' is a kaleidoscopic collection that muses on what should be relative to what is. The Muse for each poem washes over you in a warm way, it doesn't leave you passive, the idea is that you take action. The collection muses on the past and present and proffers a think-tank through which these thoughts can be ready for the future. It is not every time you find poems that inspire a change - a change of heart, a change of position or one that foretells the damaging nature of our actions and inactions without getting judgmental and moody. 'A constellation of Cravings' is just that. It will leave you craving the balance of power and love; love of mother nature, of country and of family. The love that Trumps all.

reflections: an anthology of thoughts on nigerian movie industry
REFLECTIONS… An Anthology Of Thoughts 'Reflections'... is a book that will travel, a timeless treasure. - Uzor Maxim Uzoatu (poet, author & veteran journalist) In all, 'Reflections'... is a compendium of honour for those who have brought the Nigerian film industry to where it is today. - Niran Adedokun (writer, columnist & movie award jury chair) What 'Reflections' captures in snackable bites… are the profiles of the luminaries whose radical thinking and struggles manifested in the shining beacon now called Nollywood. - Sola Osofisan (award-winning writer and filmmaker) The three voices above perhaps form the three-pronged African stove over which these 'Reflections' will continue to simmer and mature. The 300+ page book is filled with enriched information, personal recollections, detailed fact-checking of many of the major works of our movie and theatre stars across the ages. It also includes some never-before-seen photographs graciously supplied by owners, or family members and associates of those who have moved on. A great trove of delightful "snacks" (Osofisan's word) to chase away boredom or downtime. Surely, a collector's item. Reflections is indeed an anthology, a collection of my thoughts, observations and sentiments during more than three decades chronicling the Nigerian entertainment industries as a journalist, critic, and systemic rewarder.
