I was in the park this morning, listening to men talk like they own the air. One said Nigeria’s problems are spiritual, another said it’s the youth with their dreadlocks and small phones — nonsense. I sat there stitching a hem, thinking how none of them mentioned the light going off at 6 a.m. or the rent doubling last month. If you can’t feed your child with your theory, reduce it. My girls are learning to cut, sew, and speak only when necessary — that last one keeps you alive in parks like this.
