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/…

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 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.

Nigerians! Please do it for the woman that pretended to be mad and hid her daughter in a ditch so she won’t be taken, do it for Pelumi Onifade, the victims of EndSARS massacre, the victims of Owo massacre, our brothers and sisters in the North that we don’t even get to hear of

URGENT PUBLIC APPEAL I never imagined having to make a post like this, but I desperately need your help. On October 31, while covering a wedding at Oriental Hotel, Lagos, my bag was stolen from inside the bride's room. The bag contained my MacBook Pro M1 and FOUR external hard drives holding approximately FIVE weddings yet to be delivered to my clients. These are not just files. They are people's once in a lifetime memories, months of hard work and my livelihood. Thankfully, we have obtained CCTV footage showing the individual entering, taking my bag and leaving the hotel. I'm offering a N500,000 REWARD for credible information leading to the identification of this individual and recovery of my belongings through the appropriate authorities. Please you can send a message or call this number for any update 09033892670 Please guys help me repost abeg, this is very important please. 🙏🏾
