African literature deserves better. We've read some of the most unique works in our inbox. It's wild that aside from underfunded lit mags (that barely survive a decade), there's no real (local) ecosystem to nurture, promote, or preserve this brilliance on a global level.

This year's workshops are open to writers who are currently working on their stories, with a focus on fiction and non-fiction. The deadline for receiving applications is Saturday, 15th August 2025. Learn more: writersprojectghana.com/mo-issa-2025/

The Only reason many of you are poor is because we left Politics to Criminals and ran to Pastors/Alfas for miracle . Praying for VISA in a country as blessed as Nigeria is a taboo..

Not to be that person but a gentle reminder that outing someone is still homophobic violence. And it's still violence regardless of your sexuality. If your mouth is scratching you, goan chew gravel.

Idk how to say this without sounding some type of way but I truly hate this idea that because a film is enjoyable, it must be above critique. Movie critics are in fact, pertinent, if we truly are interested in growing Nollywood. We’re all playing different parts.

It all begins with a match, they say. And then it just goes on and on (or so the process is called). Until the end... or an end. “But the idea of this story is that it begins where it ends…” Kindly take out the time to read my new fiction on @Lolwe_ lolwe.org/the-end-of-the…

If people are criticizing your work, it means they watched it, paid attention and care enough to point out what worked and what didn’t. The response to criticism should never be “shut up, make your own” Abeg nau. It’s exhausting and growth is never achieved that way.

We’re NGMI if honest, balanced and well-articulated reviews are watered down to “hating.” I understand the pain when your hard work is critiqued but it’s important to step out of that anger and hurt and look at it objectively.

What an odd thing to say

The Falcons have won WAFCON for the 10th time. They deserve all the respect, endorsements, pay, media rounds, magazine covers and airtime their less accomplished colleagues do usually get oh. 👀
