Back Safe & Sound From Gidigbo Land ! Same Planet, Different Dimension...

Thanks be to God the Almighty!

I have returned safe and of sound mind from 2 week in my Mother's land. What a productive and fruitful time it was!

This trip was made up of 36 Degrees of sweltering heat, air conditioned cars & houses, bustling metropolis, monster events & parties, the delectable taste of efo-riro & eba with assorted meats , obscene amounts of wealth alongside abject poverty, a loving & understanding Sister, business oppportunities and creativity, art galleries & traditional exhibits, smiley faces with ulterior motves, sad faces with broken dreams, beautiful waterfronts banked by Versailles-esque Mansions, kind acts & gestures from Friends and Family, a generous Father's bounteous legacy to attain, a pining heart for my love Stef across the seas, painstaking patience, focus, discipline & vigilance.

Some, even Nigerians, may not be familiar with the term "Gidigbo" but it is West Africa's form of Martial Art & Wrestling nutured by my Father's people the Yorubas. This pysche is how I feel I survived.
