But to get to this you need to have a change in your mindset and attitude because some people are in the right place but their mindset and attitude disable them from seeing what is around and in front of them

Opportunity is always built on accessibility. If you are not accessible you lose the opportunity.
That means you need to surround yourself with the right people and be in the right environment to gain access to the things you desire

Guess who came to the ancient city of Ibadan today? @nzesylva
My Mind is no Longer Here is more than a reflection of the 'popular' state of mind, rather it is a captivating narrative that separates our ambitions from the content of our character.

The beauty and magic in writing lies in the very moment that something is being written. It might need tweaking for consumption but the opinions that are given to get it there do not validate it. It was made valid in the moment therefore already is.

-as per i have a 9-5 (to keep body and soul together) and some other challenging personal experience. By and large the work was first published as an e-book by @BahatiBooks in 2017, followed by the print release last year by @Parresiabooks /3 #SyncityNGLLL

First of all, thanks for the compliment 😃. 'Cos my aim is to write accessible and relatable stories. Fact is young Nigerians are in a hurry to leave by whatever means. This is the reality of our time. I chose to tell that story. #SyncityNGLLL
I found #MMINLH deeply relatable. I grew up in Lagos and 30% of my family has tried to cross to 'the abroad' through legal and illegal means.
Was your book a deliberate attempt to show the dangers of desperation for 'obodo oyibo'?
