Ignorance Alert

I haven't read a book in what seems like ages; Actually, I haven't read a book since I relocated back to Lagos last year. At a point, I psyched myself that all the blogs that I visit (daily) kinda make up for this hiatus. I argued with that inner self that the traditional book/publishing thing has shifted on its pivot and the web is the 'IN' thing. Thinking about it, I learn so much and get so inspired from visiting various blogs and websites; What's more? There is a whole lot of quality Nigerian content on the web these days. Thanks to the various bloggers that put their spine into the process.

What can rival the creative abilities of a blog like UnNaked's, The last king of Scotland's to the point music/album reviews (fridays are great again), Guerreira Nigeriana's classroom (I always thought she was a professor), Desperate Lady's constant drama (still looking for the right man, dear?), James Tubman, Onydchic, Jeremy Weate's blog, Afroliciousbabe (to open her blog for office na die) and so many more (too numerous to mention).

I read Decipher by Stel Pavlou sometime in the past and fell in love with it. I borrowed it from a friend and had to give it back. I have been searching for where to buy a copy since then. I tried buying it online and got bounced because of the Nigerian shipping address, I even wrote to the author but no luck. If anyone knows where/how I can get a copy, please let me know. I'll be sooooooo grateful.

Been so busy putting finishing touches to the: www.werunthings.com website. We are searching for creative collaborations on the www.werunthings.com thing; if you think we can work together, please feel free to contact me via: contribute@werunthings.com .
