: About Me

Lagos born and bred, I, like all other Lagosians, live by the creed "Eko o ni baje". There's just no other place like my city! Drop by anytime.

I've always liked writing, and it was a blessing to find Helium; purely serendipitously, I must confess.

My interests are fairly wide ranging, though I fear that I know too little about too many things. I have a law degree and have also studied History and English at college. I have published an English textbook for primary schools as well as a book on baby care and quite a few Nigerian folktales, but I've certainly broadened my knowledge base since I came on board Helium.

I write because I'm fairly vain (ask the wife, she knows), and I think that my "knowledge" and opinions actually have a value in the real world. If you think that any of my articles are of any value, do let me know (I'm seriously ego driven). If you dont, please, pretty please, keep your opinion to yourself.

Given the current economic circumstances it makes sense for ordinary folk to effect savings in as wide a variety of spending areas as they possibly can. Whilst some spending areas are less susceptible of savings than others, one area where savings can be made, and possibly quite considerable savings, is the area of grocery purchases.  A common means, perhaps the most common, of making savings on grocery purchases is the system of discount coupons, but even without the use of such coupons (and there are reasons why coupons may be infeasible, e.g. a dearth of nearby stores that run good...
