Still working on this - the longest 'episode' of the #MolueChronicles... but given the rise of in the stock and value of conspiracy theories, I think I have a duty to post my unfinished 'Chronicle' about this cancer which threatens democracies everywhere....
Episode?
Yes yes #TheOldManInTheMolue is a series...
What the heck you think I been doing?
I used to be an engineer - and right now, I'm trying to create art through writing its always been my passion (thanks for asking!)
My name? You MAY call me the #WatchManInTheMolue.
Still recall December 1986 at Iyana-Offa, NYSC camp, Near Ibadan, second batch of Corpers. As we stood in line waiting for our 'Primary Assignments', I said to my Best Camp Buddy Rotimi Oyekan (Yes same one - left handed):
"If I am posted to a factory, it means God wants me to practice Engineering - if I am posted to teach in a school, then God wants me to be a Writer!"
I thought I was being smart - loading the dice against God - knowing there were hundred of us and almost every one wanted to be posted to the few factory openings they were, and I REALLY only wanted to write. Studying engineering I decided long before I graduated was a mistake. You were good in maths, Physics and Chemistry and everyone assumed you would study engineering - so I applied and got accepted to study Engineering - Metallurgical Engineering. How did I end up graduating in Electrical Engineering? Hmmmmmm How many hours do you have to hear my explanation?
Anyway.... here's my story.... wait! There was a story before this - Thoko made me publish it befre I felt ready - it too was an 'unfinished chrnicle'
