I am Oyebanji Ayodele and I am a blogger.  

You know what that means? If you don’t, puzzle out the reason a new bride shows off her wedding band at every finger turn; the reason post-modern breasts in their plastic-surgery glories are flaunted everyday like the internet is a boobs runway; the reason…

If you still don’t get it, it’s a pity. I had to yield to my director’s scream to ‘CUT!’ Here is a snippet of wisdom: don’t’ go punching letters into search engines. IT WON’T DO. Take it or hurl it back at me.
It is not about who a blogger is. Who I am. No! It’s more of the new me that is about to emerge; the new space I intend to take charge of.  

It’s a new compartment I have erected on a wall-less, border-less cosmos; outside and beyond my butter-coloured room. Yet, from the desk therein.

The internet has succeeded in making me know the concept of spaces transcends and transgresses alike the conventional view about it. This only reminds me of Naguib Mahfouz’s Arabian Nights and Days; of the witching power genies can wield. The internet is such genie. It rams an imprint of multiplicity on my once singular existence. It does not go beyond that.

I am a genie too. This new crib of mine is an attestation. The foundation is being laid and I am already an inhabitant. In it, words and people will be bewitched alike.

And I almost forgot. There is this other 'restless' blogger-brother somewhere too. You should know him. At least, from some of the efforts in creating this, his was remarkable. Meet TrueTalk. Or should I say StrongSelf? Whatever joor. We share this passion together and I owe a lot to our friendship.

Lit ‘n’ Life is my crib. Welcome.
