My Story

Bayo: Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria; Adebayo likes to describe himself as ‘an African with blood tainted by the neon lights of CNN – culturally lost between the linguistic co-morbidity of Received Pronunciation and Perceived Pronunciation'. One of Nigeria's new generation of ultra young academics, Adebayo is a budding clinical psychologist with a strong postmodern bias and a stubborn restlessness with established spaces and orthodox myths. 'Bayo', energized by his values of human interconnectedness, the ambiguity of 'truth', the playfulness that makes 'life' participatory and relative, writes to voice out his imagination for pluralistic worlds where his doubts about faith and truth, his opinions about human interconnectedness and his narratives about the irreducible dignity of difference might some day be celebrated. Tired of the traditions that have come to define his operational contexts, Bayo sets to the streets of Nigeria to help change the conversation, break through the crippling disenfranchisement that his people are known for, and help weave new stories, new myths, new poems of people working together for better worlds.

Bayo's Friends and Fellow Pilgrims

'I am a Green Life' is a community organizing journal

This blog or journal is a social experiment performed by me (Bayo Akomolafe). Empowered by the premise that worlds are framed by the stories we tell, the conversations we have, and the myths we have woven - as well as a nagging 'inability' to conform to established spaces, I set out for the world - to see where my values might lead, to participate with strange and different people, to listen to their needs and help tell their stories, and perhaps, help change our collective worlds.
