Muscat Away Day

Mogbolahan Koya-Oyagbola — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 09:13:35 +0000

So over the extended weekend I kitted myself out with a modest home gym. I travelled to Muscat and bought the only size inflatable burst proof ball (at 65 cm it’s the wrong size) I could find. I bought trainers, resistance bands, weights and pyjamas.

My life is full of adventure and surprises however. Who would have thought that my plans to give up travelling would be derailed so spectacularly. I moved from Germany back to England to pursue a language teaching related degree that would

How long has it been since we chatted? I'm sorry I left you forlorn for so long. I was going through so many changes that my existence was just off-kilter. That is to say I had a grand vision of where I was heading but the everyday minutiae had me worried. Since my last post I've

I've been away for a while but now I'm back... sort off. I'll be taking an extended period of leave from my blogging until mid September 2010. The fact is

Well I Was Walking in Memph… I Mean Starnberg

Last weekend I finally did it (8th May 2010). And I hadn’t even intended to. I simply wanted to chart the exact course but I ended up going the whole way. Yes, I cycled from Munich to Starnberg to see the famous Starnberg Lake. Though

My mind has been a relative blank lately writing-wise. This is ironic since I’ve been teaching an academic writing course to a group of university students – (as an aside, I have

I’ve been away for a while. I was researching Vienna amongst other things. I recall sharing my bicycle acquisition experience …

The Isar… What A Trip Man!

Oh I’m feeling all tingly today. Being on a history kick right now, I ordered the book, Politics and Society in South Eastern Nigeria 1841-1906 by K.K. Nair. Imagine my surprise when about a month later the book which finally arrived from the amazon.co.uk marketplace bookseller was, Questions and Answers on Conversation with God by Neale Donald Walsch. I was furious and made my feelings known to the bookseller. I cancelled my original order and made it clear I certainly wasn’t

Coming Back To Myself

The last few posts were clearly very political. I went back on my own rule not to be controversial or confrontational on this blog. There are no regrets however because it was a somewhat selfless act; after all I live a simple but contented life in Munich. There’s really no need for me to worry or comment on the su

Letter From MABO

Dear Nigeria, Sorry I neglected to get in touch for so long but I’ve been really busy. Even now I’m pretty busy. An average day sees me starting work at 8 am and finishing at 9.30 pm since
