Late one afternoon some weeks ago, going home from training at FAAN co-op house in Lagos, I met a delightful little girl. I’m not sure what I mean by ‘met’ since we only just shared a bus and there was even no confrontation between us whatsoever.

How Your Meal Preference Will Reveal Who Your Friends Are
Disclaimer: This is a weak and silly comparison of a meal with the human nature, but for the sake of understanding why we do what we do sometimes, some irrationality can be helpful in getting close to some speculations that could make deeper meaning to Socrates, perhaps.
