Welcome to NigerianMuse!
Bolaji Aluko, the "Nigerian Muse"
Writing always to inform, to teach, to provoke, to amuse,
to inspire, to express a point-of-view - and to inquire, whereupon to learn !
© 2004-2008
After years of resisting, this website is available as an
archive my many Musings, Quarterbackings, Essays and Star Articles! What weakened my resistance? The emergence of easier tools for website development and maintenance.
NigerianMuse.com can be regarded as a meta-website, through which I share my favorite bookmarks. The site is mainly one in which the very latest versions of my many writings will be made available, after undergoing revisions and after receiving feedback from readers, who might have first read them on the other websites to which they are liberally released.
Finally, if you would like to provide some feedback about any of my postings, comment freely, using the comment form below each article, leave a message in our Guestbook, or more privately via the Contact page.
Thank you for visiting, do come back, and don't forget to visit: My Special Links

Patricia Daboh

 In the words of Patricia:
"I am an African American woman. My Nigerian (Ijaw descent) and I went through 17 months of separation due to going through the immigration process. We were married January 4, 2007. He joined me in the United States on Thursday, June 19, 2008; which was one of the happiest days of my life. We are on our second honeymoon, and we are amazed at how the good Lord Jesus blessed our life and brought us together once again. Some Nigerian people were denied visas at the time when my husband had his interview, and the same could have happened to him. But the Lord blessed him to receive his visa. When he flew to me it was his first time flying. It is wonderful watching him discover America and a world that is so different from his own. No two people could be happier!"

Jide Aluko

 In the words of Jide:
"'Jide Aluko was born to the famility of Mr.&Mrs Donald Aluko sometime in the mid '70s. I was educated in both Lagos and Ekiti States: Eko Boys' High Sch., Ogunnire Comprehensive High Sch., and the prestigious University of Lagos. I studied Mass Communication with specialisation in broadcasting, even though I have always had my heart set on print journalism because of my flair for writing and reticent nature (I'm a more articulate writer than a speaker). I am driven and motivated to write by socio-political events around me. I like to be seen as social writer than a commercial writer. Nothing appeals to my intellectual being like a well articulated and logical oral presentation. I'm an avid lover of country music, reaggae, soul with gospel contents, juju of the 60s, 70s,and 80s, Fuji and traditional music. In fact, I have a broad spectrum of musical taste with no specific favourite. I dream of a great Nigeria devoid of any systemic failures."
