I interviewed Joké Bakare, who received a Michelin-star this year and was named Top Chef in Condé Nast Traveller's Best Restaurant Awards this week. Amazingly, she's never had formal training. Check out her restaurant in Fitzrovia - excellent grub. #nigeria

RIP Sr Majella McCarron, the Irish nun who supported my dad's environmental campaign in the Niger Delta. By preserving the letters Ken Saro-Wiwa wrote to her from prison, she gave valuable insight into his thoughts and helped sustain his legacy. We're eternally grateful to her ❤️

Thanks Benedict Allen, it was so lovely meeting you! I can see why you were able to survive those rainforests alone — charm and humour are all the entourage you need (and a bit of madness 😆). Beautiful photos in your presentation too 👌🏾

COMING TO BOOKSTORES IN 24 HOURS   “If you’re African and planning a trip to China, read this timely book before you get on the plane. As you’ll most likely find out on arrival, it’s a hard-knock life for West Africans trying to eke out a living there.” – Pelu Awofeso

I’ve read a number of these excellent books this year. Caroline Eden’ Cold Kitchen (which begins in Uzbekistan), Matthew Teller’s Daybreak in Gaza, & Noo Saro-Wiwa’s Black Ghosts are my top 3 recommendations.
