Yesterday, we shipped a lot of @GriotsLounge books to Nigeria. It’s massive (in egungun’s voice 🤣). We will continue shipping our books to Nigeria until all our titles are able to be found in all the bookstores in Nigeria. Now, tell me, what bookstore do you use the most? 🦬

About two weeks ago, I received a commendation letter from the Nigeria High Commission Ottawa, written by His Excellency, Mr. Adeyinka Asekun, to appreciate all the work we do at @GriotsLounge.
I am very grateful for this!!!

"It is not intelligent for 54 African Presidents to go and sit before one President from another country for a summit. Sometimes we are mistreated. We are loaded onto buses like school kids. It is not right." - Kenya's President William Ruto.

One day we will talk about our people. They live under high tension electric cables, whose light they will never see, live by highways that run past their woes, and are witnesses to a modernity they will only dream of. One day.

Zimbabwean author NoViolet Bulawayo’s second novel GLORY makes the Booker Prize shortlist! This makes her the first Black African woman to appear on the Booker list twice. We are rooting for her & hope she brings the prize home. We'll find out on Oct. 17

One day, great thinkers and doers, men and women who are visionary, patriotic, and competent will lead and govern Nigeria. I hope it's not too far off, and that the electorate will act in its own best interest. I'm encouraged by the signs (and wonders!)
