About Me

I appreciate your visit to my blog. Now, here is a little about me.

Sometimes, I stutter when I am asked who I am, because, everyday I make new discoveries about my person and venture into new things I never imagined doing a short while ago. But basically, I am a young Nigerian struggling to create -at least around me-the Nigerian of my dreams through creative writing.

I was born in November 1984 in Abuja Nigeria. I am lucky to have had educated parents who struggled through their meager Teacher salaries to give me a good education. Growing up I really didn’t have the luxury of computer games and summer holidays. But I had my Daddy’s books. Mainly books from the African Writers Series.  I grew up reading everything that was in print.

Today, I consider myself lucky to have a job. I studied Veterinary Medicine in the University of Nigeria but I work in Project Management.  I am actually under tutelage, learning the ropes daily and I think I love every minute of it. It gives me an opportunity to get things done and to write how they were done.

Writing rules my soul. I like to think of myself as both a writer and a journalist. My ideology is shaped by a wide range of writers and journalists whose works I have followed over the years. I think creative writing is a big weapon for purging the society of evil. I think journalism especially in this twitter-facebook-YouTube- Blogger age must be entertaining to achieve its goals.

I hail from Agulu in Anambra state. I am a catholic. I love soccer. And I speak both Igbo and Hausa fluently.

Perhaps I should add this. As is obvious from my pix, I am a Guy. Not a few people are mis-led by the name.

Da’alu.
