10:50 PM.
Staring at my laptop thinking of what to come up with and how best to introduce myself to the steemit community. I am aware that I do not want to leave a dissatisfying impression, especially in presenting my true self to this new family. Nevertheless, I will make it an obligation to be my best true self. I, Abimbola Kuti will take you on a first class ride into my reality, my heart beats, my love life, my passion, my fears, my christian life, my poetic world, my adventures, my failures and of course my success.
I am hopeful that I get to be heard and be appreciated for my writing. I may not interest you as the likes of Wole Soyinka(Nigerian writer and noble prize in Literature awardee), Chimamanda Adichie(MacArthur Fellowship awardee), F. Scott Fitzgerald(American novelist and short story writer) or Ernest Hemmingway( American novelist and Nobel Prize in Literature awardee) but I sure will represent myself in black and white; a pure reflection of what I feel. I would come up with advice and suggestions on various topics, which is, of, course my perspective and candid opinions.
Here is a bit about me. I am a young lady who is optimistic about life. Although I have had my share of disappointments, it did not stop me from believing and dreaming. I love writing poems, motivational quotes and I am gifted through the grace of God to give words of encouragement in peculiar situations. Do not get me wrong, I am no bishop but I have discovered in time past up until now that I am inspired to write to friends in need of comfort. Something interesting about me? I am a twin. We are unidentical and have spent most of our years together until 2015 when she was denied her student visa to go study in the United States. Living in the United States without her was kind of unusual at first but I guess we both understand now, that life would happen and we would have our family, career and job location as inevitable factors for physical separation. I had to go study for my masters. My experience in a new country without my twin will be shared soon.

My Country
Did I mention that I am a full fleshed Nigerian sharing tie with Ondo and Delta. A situation between two lovers who birthed my siblings and I . I must confess that cultural acceptance is the key to strength and unity. Nigeria is a culturally conscious country where respect is considered very important especially when it has to do with elders and the younger generation. It may interest you to know that every tribe has their way of showing respect. This leads me to recount the three tribes that make up Nigeria: the Ibos, Yorubas, and Hausas. They can be differentiated by their attires, mode of greeting and language. One way to get a grasp of each culture is in the wedding ceremonies where diverse cultures are being displayed in costumes, music, language and dance.(
(
Our music and dance are also cultural specific not until the assimilation with the western culture where hip-hop sweeps through our fatherland and wears the mask of Afro-hip hop. But with the mixture of both genres and culture, the vibes from the music can send a moving current to a not too cheerful face. It is lit. Lol. !
Asides these beautiful tales about Nigeria, it could be pretty annoying seeing all the injustice and inequality moving like wildfire across the country. The younger generation is being stripped off their rights by politicization. Now, its citizens migrate to other countries for a better life. I too have my own bitter-sweet experience of being a Nigerian girl child.
My dream
Like Martin Luther King once said, “I have a dream”. Well, I have a dream that one day I would give my book launch and would attribute my success to the steemit community. I have a dream that pages of my articles would transform lives and motivate steemites. I sure have a dream that the steemit community would read this first post of mine, like it and be encouraged to read more.
Most importantly, I owe
