Welcome to a home for unfinished thoughts. This is where insight grows.

In the open spread of a book, there are eight physical margins, four on each page. But between the lines and beyond the edges lies a hidden space: the ninth margin. This is where insight continues, not in what’s printed, but in what is perceived, intuited, and questioned. The Ninth Margin is that metaphorical frontier, a place where thought deepens, stories breathe, and yet-to-be-seen truths are gathered.

The Ninth Margin exists to explore timeless ideas that enrich the inner life, drawing from literature, economics, business, science, philosophy, and history.

Unless stated otherwise, all works on The Ninth Margin are those of Oluwatosin “Joe” Ajibade, generously assisted by loved ones.

The Ninth Margin is library of my thoughts through books, letters, oral traditions, and cultural artifacts, with a special focus on vibrant, often overlooked voices. I seek out obscure, forgotten, or marginalized sources that hold profound lessons and timeless wonder. Please, journey with me.
