I have a new essay out today. In The Very Nigerian Playbook of Campus Politics, I step away from the personal to investigate the nature of campus politics and what it informs us about Nigeria's broader political landscape. Do read; this one stretched me. rpublc.com/story/2026/09/27/…

Today is my birthday 🎂
Thank you so much for the wishes, calls and messages. I'm truly grateful.
If you'd like to mark the day with me, here's the gift I'd love most 🧵👇
How do I explain that the course I started studying because I wanted an excuse to read is preventing me from reading what I actually want to read?

Nigerian lecturers will spend hours giving unsolicited self-conceited advice, then wonder why nobody takes them seriously.

In 2024, Daniel was abducted, arrested and detained for 10 days by police officers over these same publications.
The case is now being prosecuted in the name of the Inspector-General of Police. Investigating alleged wrongdoing in the public interest is now a ground for deploying the criminal justice system against journalists.
The police cannot continue to be used as an instrument for settling scores, intimidating journalists or shielding public officials from scrutiny.
This is an abuse of state power that should concern every Nigerian who believes in accountability and the freedom of the press.

The first boy called himself Ono. We went to the same church. We avoided each other in public, so that we might not be betrayed.

The worst mistake you can make this period is think it’s only a short distance, that you won’t need your handheld fan.

Okonkwo struggles to find her feet in the first fifty pages of her debut, but when she eventually does, she keeps us entertained, thrilled, enraged and ponderous in equal measure.
