I really got lucky to be able to sit and have this conversation. Not only did we talk about many insightful things, we also agree that his generation and my generation ought to have more of these kinds of conversations. It was an absolute delight to talk about various topics with someone who is really quite close to my family.

I've always wondered what life was like for those who grew up in a world before the one I knew. My curiosity led me to have these, I think, frank conversations with some exceptional people. For all the criticism that Nigerian men sometimes get for being emotional recluses...we spoke freely about life, romance, music, art and heritage.
