When this blog used to be active, I know that the audience was mostly Nigerian, especially the "intellectual" category. (I put intellectual in parenthesis because it's such a heavy word to throw around carelessly.) In any case, I enjoyed the exchanges I had here and I found many of them challenging - a very good way to pass the time in that interesting epoch. There was Laspapi, and OmoAlagbede, and Araceli Aipoh, and Kiibaati, and Solomonsydelle, and Loomnie, and Verastic, and (I believe) Aloofar, and Nilla and LikeMack, and a few other people whom I never met but who always came back to talk about things we found interesting to talk about. Yes, that moment in time has gone with the wind. Just a few of those guys still blog, or write even.
So here I am myself, a prodigal, two years after I disappeared into the wilderness of a different experience. I don't remember consciously planning for this blog to be anything but just a portal of random thoughts so I didn't think twice before bailing on it when I had the chance. However, it's been hard to totally let go, so here I am. So what will we do? End it, finally? Renew it with fresh ideas, or turn it into something more fun and hope that some of the old (and new) guys will return? Is anyone here?

Here's somebody, from Berlin, Germany. I found your blog a couple of years ago and have been lurking since. I like your style and your way of weighing your thoughts a lot.
I can understand you very well; it has been more than half a year ago that I have written something into my own blog. But please don't close this place down for good. Why not keep it, even if you write into it only every two years or so? Why not use it as an occasional notebook for your thoughts - those of your thoughts, that is, which you don't mind sharing publically?
This is (was) a better blog.
I think you may want to add a facebook icon to your site. Just bookmarked the article, but I had to complete this manually. Simply my 2 cents.
Thanks everyone. Glad you're all still here.
