It’s been three weeks since Premium Times published my investigation on the travails of Ogun residents, especially pregnant women in border towns, who must cross into Benin Republic to access basic healthcare. And the silence from Ogun State Government - OGSG is loud. 🧵

I’ve noticed how writers and creatives from the East have fondly stories of their encounters with Chinua Achebe. Especially folks who attended University College Umuahia or the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. I wonder why we don’t hear such stories about Wole Soyinka. 🤔
