A year or two ago I wrote a story on The Secret Super App about becoming a successful full-time artist. I used a process of affirming for myself exactly what it was that I wanted, and I watched that come to life for me. I have used that exact same process to manifest my freedom today, and I am enjoying every bit of it.

Some people say that Nigerians are born trapped. I have painted my way out of that cell. It is often difficult for Nigerians to travel overseas, yet I travel easily to wherever I want in the world, on trips fully sponsored by people who are in love with me and my work. They are people who go out of their way to give me whatever I desire, who have my stay in exotic, beautiful locations that are comfortable and pleasurable. They do not even want me to leave, though I may have to as I travel to the next amazing location. I am loved and accepted everywhere I go, in Igbo we say “ojemba enwiro” a traveler with no foe. This is what I and my work have become: Ojemba Enwiro.

Last week I was in New Zealand, next week I will be in Australia, learning to surf on the beautiful beaches and taking selfies with Robert Irwin at the Australia Zoo. I may settle here, it’s a beautiful land, and I am loved and accepted always.
Through all of this, I have found a home, in the most beautiful country far from my native land, surrounded by friends and patrons. I work in my great, huge, well-lit studio, and outside in my yard there are great big trees laden with fruit to feed me. The air is clean and sweet, and I am near beautiful beaches and the ocean which I visit often. I grow my own food on my own land. I fill my yard with herbs and flowers, the birds and the bees are at home here too, and I live in wild ecstasy. I am completely suffused with pure light and joy. I have full sensual love and explore and revel in the sensuous delights of my own body, and I am doing all of this in great company.

Thank you for making all of this possible. Thank you for the work you do, and thank you for always lighting up our pathways. As you are loved, so I am loved. Amen. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
