This episode contains the insights of Dr. Rev. Ebenezer Oke from Akura, Nigerian. He is still a very close friend of mine that grew from my teaching trips to Nigeria from 2005-2010. Not all, but much of this content is from Ebenezer's 2-part essay he posted on Facebook. It is about the absence of having real friends, what a real friend is like, and how to become a good friend. It is about how isolation from a few good friends begins to feel like poverty in the human experience.
