1. I'll tell you a story. It was the year 2018 and the time of Ramadan, in Minna. I was volunteering with a community group called SISTERS CLOSET, run by Barr. Zahida and a host of other wonderful females. We were called about a missing girl somewhere around Bosso.

Why do we platform idiots? They raped, not slept with her. "Slept with" signals consent. Nothing consenual happens in captivity. And if you cannot see past the trauma she has had to endure, you do not deserve a wife, or any woman at all.

Zimbabwean author Sue Nyathi is finally receiving her flowers. Thirteen years after publishing The Polygamist, the acclaimed novel has been adapted into a 22-episode supernovela that premiered on Netflix on June...

There’s NO wisdom in reintegrating any kind of terrorist back into any society. Imagine taking a walk on a normal day after surviving years of insurgency with no access to psychological support and coming face to face with someone who raped your womenfolk and killed your kinsmen!

It’s been 29 days since 42 students were abducted from Mussa Primary and Junior Day Secondary School in Askira-Uba, Borno State. For 28 days, their parents (and all parents) have lived in fear, uncertainty, and anguish. The gov’t just reintegrated terrorists in the same state!

What we have is misplaced priorities. There are people in captivity. We are losing lives and properties. Our farmers are being killed. More children are in the streets, begging, dying from cold and neglect. We have too many problems to be focused on people's scandals

“I am appealing to the government to help me. It has been one month since my husband was kidn@pped” — Wife of abd¥cted Oyo teacher cries out for help

We had to beg you people to lend your voices for the kidnapped children in Borno. See how easy it was to make this topic of other people’s marital affair trend Then tomorrow, it will be “nobody cares about the north”🙃

Call for help. My mum was hit with a stroke in may 2024. Since then our lives haven't remained the same. My family have spent all our savings yet her condition hasn't changed. She has severe BP challenge, she has diabetes. Which has gone on to take a toll on her kidneys.

Watching the netflix adaptation of @SueNyathi 's The Polygamist. Congraulations ma'am

THE OLDER I GET, THE MORE CERTAIN I AM THAT WE KNEW EXACTLY WHO WE WERE WHEN WE WERE LITTLE, AND THEN ADULTS TALKED US OUT OF IT

Don’t panic if your first draft is kinda crap. You have plenty of time to make it completely crap with subsequent rewrites

Basically, these kids won't complete waec because Nigeria has happened to them. As in, they will stay home for one more year (assuming they all return unharmed from those terrorists' den) because the people who should keep us safe are doing tinko tinko with our safety. God!

Now those kids, if they make it out alive and untraumatised, would have missed waec. One year behind becauseNigeria happened. God!

If you’re Nigerian and you didn’t drop litter in your environment today, like & RT. I want to check something.

COVER REVEAL All Kehinde Bello wants is to survive orientation camp and secure a good place of primary assignment in Abuja. But when her twin sister begins to act strangely and a dead body turns up, her hopes for an ordinary life begin to unravel.

🔈🔈🔈 We’re looking for a Digital Communications Manager, and I want to be clear. We need a WOMAN who can turn the literary cacophony at @bookbuzzNG into an engaging content calendar. Someone who can dig into our archives, celebrate our past events, and make people hungry for what’s coming next. Aunty, you have to love books, culture, African stories, deadlines and analytics. We are always thinking of the next thing, and the next thing after that. Work no dey finish, but we promise it is meaningful work. For efficiency, we don’t mind you using AI. In fact, use it well. But we like women with personality, so we’ll be deeply disappointed if you erase yourself. You might as well erase yourself from the organisation too, innit? We do a lot of our work on Canva, so you will be lost without it. You MUST know your way around Instagram, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube. You’ll be working with a close-knit team of five. You must be able to work independently, and then work easily with others, especially around our festivals. Basically, we are looking for a magician, but witches are welcome to apply if they can spot typos.

Day time fa!

You do not have to immediately do anything. What you have to do is be comfortable with not being liked.
