In 1928, a colonel stumbled on pieces of dried clay in present-day Kaduna State, in what was later identified as Nok art. For all its unique beauty, Nok art has remained a puzzle to historians in the years since then. primeprogressng.com/perspective/th…

Guess which continent was a thriving center of trade long before the arrival of the European imperialists? A dive into Africa's extensive trade networks in the pre-colonial years and the gold and ivory supplied to the rest of Asia and the Middle East. primeprogressng.com

I love how she's treating this press run like a pop artist looking to drop a new album. Three publications (Vogue, The New Yorker, Guardian) in the space of a week is the literary equivalent of performances on Jimmy Kimmel, Juls Holland & Jimmy Fallon. This is a moment.

In a Kaduna community, women and children affected by HIV have found a lifeline through the efforts of Aisha Usman, a woman who has lived with HIV for over two decades. primeprogressng.com/spotlight/hiv-…

First a profile on The Guardian, then a piece of non-fiction on Vogue and now a short story on The New Yorker. Where next tomorrow? Chimamanda's book publicity run is vigorous as an electoral campaign. It's dominating. It's compelling.

The comments under this tweet are pathetic.

Not to disparage any art form, but that second paragraph well defines the difference between film and literature.

Nigeria's deforestation crisis threatens biodiversity, pivotal traditional knowledge, and medicine. Responding to these threats, some communities in Ogun State collaborate with NGOs to establish nurseries growing medicinal plants responsibly.

In my latest for Joey Off-Air Podcast 🎙️, I investigate how the Diamond Project lures countless Nigerians with promises of financial freedom only to leave them in crippling debt. Beneath its flashy presentation lies a multimillion-naira scam deceiving thousands. joeyoffair.com/inside-diamond…

In Nigeria, families and friends wear matching outfits at big events like weddings and funerals. The "Aso ebi" tradition is about unity.. but also about flexing wealth, fueling WhatsApp gossip, and hustling for profit. Read Kingsley Charles in New Lines Magazine: newlinesmag.com/reportage/kin-…

For all it sense of kinship, Aso Ebi presents a recipe for drama at any Nigerian party. Again for New Lines Magazine, I trace the evolution of this dress culture and the social politics that defines it today. Big thanks to Nimi//Omobabamarfe and Iya Adini Mainland 😎.

One of the perks of being "omo proprietress". 😅😅

ICYMI: My recent piece for New Lines Magazine explores the social dynamics of aso ebi, drawing on rich cultural festivals such as Ojude Oba. newlinesmag.com/reportage/kin-…

Join us this evening by 8pm as we expose the multimillion Naira scams preying on Nigerians.

For a story I am working on, I looking to speak with an academic or researcher with expertise in rural livelihoods, gender, and agriculture in Nigeria—preferably with experience in Benue. If this sounds like you or someone you know, please DM. Grateful for leads! #Journalism

I finished Dream Count earlier this month. I've been reflecting on its failures lately, and trying to put a finger on why it's very much different from all of Adichie's work, asides the obvious reasons. I find that one of those reasons is that it is a novel that isn't novel.

Last year it was June 18. This year's came 10 days earlier. Ojude Oba, with all its splurge and pride of kinship, captures the social politics of the Aso ebi tradition, as I examine in this piece: newlinesmag.com/reportage/kin-…
