I'm a novelist. I also wrote and produced the Nigerian audiodrama comedy series, Barbershop, available on Spotify and YouTube.
Sharp, funny, and brutally honest, this episode of Barbershop brings the chaos of everyday Nigerian life into one small shop. Listen on YouTube and Spotify: youtu.be/utN4FYgfWVE #audiodrama #audiodramaseries #audioplay #theater #Barbershop
The arguments on GMOs should tell you that we are dealing with the many consequences of mediocre education in Nigeria. We've relied so much on vibes and no cerebral substance.
Whoever funds scientific research in medicine, pharmaceuticals, and foods can influence its outcome. Money rules, even in these fields.
A proof of civilization is when a people stop to think for the individual and instead think for the collective. Nigerians aren't a civilized people. Everyone wants to be 'successful'. They want to look it, to feel it, be it — at whatever cost, even of the collective. So when…

Half of all food produced in Nigeria every year doesn't make it off the farm because of simple issues like lack of rural roads for quick evacuation, and lack of storage and refrigeration equipment. Question: So if you want to DOUBLE the amount of food available in Nigerian…
The global medical, pharmaceutical, and food industries have always been about the hustle for big bucks. They are all involved in creating problems and then cashing out big time in managing these problems rather than solving them.
Are you all seeing what I am seeing? All the companies that have interests in the production of GMOs are also heavily invested in the companies that produce the drugs to treat the medical conditions occasioned by the consumption of GMOs. Now, guess who will be in charge of…
With Nigerian influencers, it is all about the money. Nothing else.

Don't trust influencers, don't trust 'activists' or any low-value clown who have made a name by constantly being in your faces — to offer soothing distraction from your social realities. But seriously, why would you entrust your thoughts and decision-making to a clown? What has…
Now you know, you should do well not to come at me with brazen stupidity. I don't have patience for it because of the dangers that a herd of your kind portend for everyone else. If we leave the race to idiots like you, archeologists in the future would think that the entire race…
And good thing you know you are a bully without cause
In the days of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, we had African leaders on one side, the European Slave Traders on another side, and then we had the middlemen who were very much a part of the natives. This whole influencer industry in Nigeria produces the new middlemen in modern…
I have a bachelor's degree in Food Science and Technology, and I believe I'm informed enough to tell you that GMOs aren't good for you. They've been linked to terminal diseases in humans. You can't, as some knucklehead eugenicists, tinker unnaturally with genes in the name of…
Everything we need has been given to us; either to make our ascent glorious or our fall, great.
This!
Wrote this collection about Ogun Owo, the grief of unexplainable disappearances happening in Nigeria—ritual killings, human body parts black markets, soka, etc. I decided to tell the story we Nigerians are pushing under the carpet. 1994 to present day.
Applied mathematics proves that no problem is too big when you break it down. It teaches us to think clearly, to find structure in chaos, and to turn complexity into clarity. With math, you don’t just study the world—you shape it.
I've never felt this sense of urgency in my spirit in a while. It says, "You must put everything aside and write this, and you must wrap it up today."
Whether in a straight line or in circles, one is said to be in motion. But one is preferable over the other.
