MOVING OVER!
After much consideration and thought, I have decided to stop posting links to blogger. This is to amalgamate all my work and web presence in one place and ensure that I am giving due care to my writing. Nothing has change in terms of work or quality of writing. In fact, it will continue to get better :)
For all future articles, reviews interview, please go to: BelindaOtas.com
Thanks for your continued support.
Cheers!!!

It will soon be a year since I cut my hair and the response has been more positive than negative. I am no crusader for the Republic of Natural Hair but allow me to scream, I’m loving it!!!!!

Day Out: Hackney Downs Park
Day Out: Hackney Downs Park, a set on Flickr.
Today was hot and sitting in was rather boring. Why waste it, when I can go out and have some fun? It didn’t cost a thing. I simply went across the street to the park opposite my house to read and write. There is noting like spending some quality time with me, myself and I. It was good to reflect on my year so far, I cried a little, laughed a lot and sang to myself. However, I could not help but practice my photography skills some more. Practice makes perfect right? So, I shall never rest, until my good is better and my better best!

Nigeria's Youth: Silent no More | Nigeria News & Opinion | Think Africa Press
Nigeria's youth refuse to stay silent about the state of their democracy. But how effective are tools like Facebook and Twitter in aiding their cause?
As Nigeria goes to the polls to elect a new president, a wind of change is moving through the political landscape of this emerging democracy. In spite of the historic elections being postponed twice, once again questioning the credibility and transparency of Nigeria’s democracy, young Nigerians are adamant that it is time their voice and vote counted. Gone is the apathetic outlook: this year’s election is being redefined by the fact that candidates are faced with a more web savvy, politically active generation than that which saw democracy return to Nigeria in 1999.
