I consider myself a free spirit. The unusual interests me in practically everything. The following quotations express an important part of my worldview: Being myself includes taking risks with myself, taking risk on new behaviour, trying new ways of “being myself” so that I can see how it is I want to be - Hugh Prather Many societies have educated their male children on the simple device of teaching them not to be women - Margaret MeadIn societies where men are truly confident of their worth, women are not merely tolerated but valued - Aung San Suu Kyi To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart - George Bernard Shaw Our humanity rests upon a series of learned behaviors, woven together into patterns that are infinitely fragile and never directly inherited - Margaret Mead You can reach me at justjibril@yahoo.com - BLOG.

Just how do they do it?

They tell you this all the time as a journalist in this country: “This profession is like the military. Once you are told ‘go’ you just go. Nobody cares how you do it. All that matters is that you bring the story.” I have heard such small-minded and outrightly anal lines severally...

Up Pillars!

Many followers of the African game had expected Egyptian fans to intimidate the Nigerians before, during and even after that duel, but suffice to say that even if they did, it must have been rather insignificant compared to what happened in Kano over the weekend...
