Hello, everyone!
I haven’t written anything in so long! Yes, I have done a lot of writing previously, but I lost my previous website which had over 40 articles written there, so I am essentially starting from scratch here.
I am not very pleased to have lost all my work, but I am seeing this as an opportunity to reinvent myself, the way I write, with the aim being to confirm to myself especially that I am a more mature thinker and writer, and hopefully even better at communication.
As I have done before, I will write on general topics ranging from food and cooking to Nigerian politics. That is the plan, for now. It might evolve as time goes on, but for now, I just want to write. As time goes on, and my commitment/discipline gets reinforced over time, I might choose to maintain the status quo, or find a niche to specialize in. Either way, writing must be done.
Where are my manners? I haven’t introduced myself to those who have no idea who I am. My name is Ike Ononiwu. I live in Toronto, Canada. I am among many things, a website designer/developer, a food and travel enthusiast, and a Christian. In subsequent posts, I will elaborate on these topics, as they are ones I can speak freely and confidently about. I have been writing for more than 15 years. It is a very important outlet of expression for me, as I prefer to write more than talk, even though these days, I find myself doing more of the latter. I like to believe I have an analytical mind, trying to observe issues objectively before coming up with an opinion. I intend to reflect this particular trait in my opinion pieces. At some point, I might be convinced to throw in a picture or two of myself, but until then, this is me.
I have used AI tools in the past, and I still do a lot in my professional work. Here, however, it will be all me, in my own tone and writing, trying to be informative, educational or even inspirational. Right now, I would love to promise an article a week, but let’s see how that goes.
Honestly it feels like I could have written all of this in an About Me section/page. I might just do that.
So, this is me, and this is the plan. I hope I can efficiently stick to it, and I hope I can make your reading worthwhile. Enjoy!
