So sad that we now live in a world where excellent writers are expected to dummy down their prowess, just to evade AI detectors. Tell me about removing em dashes, avoiding three word descriptions, negations and the like. Where and when does it end? Asking cos, before AI, I was!

Governor Bago is running Niger State like a corner shop business; borrowing big, silencing critics, and humiliating citizens while insecurity grows. Here’s why we need to talk about him. In less than 3 years: • ₦1 TRILLION loan for “infrastructure” (no visible results) •…

The fact that Nigeria has bad leaders does not only affect standard of living. We are gradually losing ability to imagine. It is showing in the stories we tell, music lyrics and the books we author. We are all just surviving. This is the death of creativity.

I’m so tired of this imaginary progress. Make no mistake, everything is still the same. If anything, things are worse. And somebody woke up one day and thought, “You know what will really slap right now? Increasing the price of passports to ₦200,000.” So tone-deaf and…

Two weeks ago, we reported on how Milo harms Nigerian children. From contributing to stunted growth, to hiding dangerously high sugar levels not disclosed and not found in versions sold abroad.

Until we replace performative cultures with culture where docility isn't encouraged under the mask of respect - we can't progress. This is the reason for my rant this morning & I've made apologies, long overdue - to certain quarters. Plus, you've asked me to make more videos.

It is often a Nigerian that will travel to the USA and post such an insensitive and ignorant thing. Anyways, that pretty much explains why Nigeria is the way it is.

@AskMichaelTaiwo @BlessinDickson This is why they don’t like us. You come newly into a country and proceed to make hasty conclusions. The struggle of African-Americans is largely why Black immigrants like Nigerians can thrive. Don’t invalidate the experience of people whose reality you don’t fully understand.

I lectured today on signs system and this is why I teach semiotics as a cultural practice. I am convinced that we observe signs, symbols, icons, indexes, based on our identities. It is why some ethnic groups will struggle to assimilate into other cultures.

I just don't want us to get defensive and touchy when the (mostly) American audience we're creating Afrobeats for these days say they are tired of listening to it and are happy it's fading off, and trust me, that time is coming lol We're so disrespectful of other people's stuff
