In the Beginning I once imagined I had an encounter with God and I’d like to share it with you. I had a fever, my body temperature was hitting the roof and it was as if my skin was being pried open with needles; somehow, I drifted into a sleep on the saggy sofa in my father’s living room and by the time I woke up, I was drenched in my own sweat.

HOW I BECAME A YAHOO! BOY (The Girl) – Part 3 My becoming a Yahoo! Boy was never planned, it just happened and It was all about her in the beginning, because the moment she came along, she was like the queen bee and everything just happened because of her.

The meaning of my first name “Abidemi“, my real identity “Babaolowo” and the uniqueness of my last name “Oderinlo” fused with my pungent, original and sometimes truth laden irritating persona leaves you a finely finished and refined young Nigerian male that defines creativity, knows ‘A Little Bit About Everything’ and writes about just anything for...
