I have a new essay out today. It's a meditation on grief, and the weight my father's passing has saddled on me as his first born son. Thank you to Yusuf Omotayo for the careful and precise editing. And to everyone at @republicjournal Do read! rpublc.com/august-septemb…

I can usually tell if I’ll trust a text by the end of its first sentence. Not because I expect brilliance, but because the sentence shows the writer’s relationship to attention, to language, to the reader. My essay this week is on style, syntax and truth, in writing sentences.…
open.spotify.com/episode/394xQO… Few days back, I had an absolutely beautiful conversation with @missadekanmbi and Olúwatúnmiṣe, breaking down my sophomore novel, Ìṣẹ́pẹ́ on "Misfits Talking" podcast. You'll find this conversation enriching, I promise.
"Nigeria had not succeeded in crushing the spirit of the Igbo people, but it had left us indigent, stripped bare, and stranded in the wilderness." —Chinua Achebe, There Was A Country
"Authors were, at heart, no matter how much they blustered or how suavely they carried themselves, insecure creatures with sensitive egos, as delicate in the constitution as movie stars, only much poorer and less glamorous." 😭 —Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer
Every year I return to Nna Anyi's final literary offering, not just for further development of my Igbo consciousness but to remind myself of the clarity of thought and acuity of mind I aim for as a writer and human.
"English Education or something ridiculous like that"
I almost didn’t become a lawyer. If not for my Dad. The thing is, I gained admission to do OAU pre degree Law . As if my parents knew I wouldn’t be serious, they insisted I do jamb again, while in Ife Law. As God would have it, I didn’t score enough to get Law in OAU . I…
‘And at last you'll know with surpassing certainty that only one thing is more frightening than speaking your truth. And that is not speaking.’ - Audre Lorde The Winning Cohort of the 2025 Abebi Award in AfroNonfiction (more to come, but first: grateful)
I like experiencing writers first through nonfiction then giggling a little when I find pieces of them shattered across their short fiction. Very weird.
Every year Abebi reminds me why my favourite women writers are the essayists.
Journo request: Please help retweet: Anyone who has read Afabwaje Kurian’s “Before the Mango Ripens” here? I am working on a piece on the author and the book and I need a secondary opinion on the book’s success in capturing the Nigerian middlebelt in the 1970s.
Starting the year with a win. My essay “Hold Me in Love, Hide Me in God” is part of the winning cohort of the 2025 Abebi Award in Afro-Nonfiction as a Notable Entry. The essay is published in Isele Magazine and you can read the essay here: iselemagazine.com/2026/01/10/hol… Also, I have…
If a family member tries this one with me, day three max I don block. Because why do you not believe in me enough to know that I'm putting in the work.
I graduated from the University with a first class, and my Dad is to blame. During my university days, my Dad would call me every day. I mean, every day between 5 and 6am. He is ruthless. When he calls, you'd better not sound sleepy. He will say something like: Don’t sleep…
Day 2/30: The Neighbor Rule Don't know which colors mix? Look at the wheel. Colors that sit next to each other (Green & Yellow, Blue & Purple) always work. They are neighbors. In the frame: Earthy Green + Mustard Yellow. High contrast, but zero clash.
30 days of Style Notes. For the archive, not the algorithm. Day 1/30: The Law of Volume Baggy pants require weighted shoes. Don't pair wide-leg cuts with slim loafers (unless you want to look like a triangle). Balance the silhouette with chunky soles. There are exceptions ofc

one of my favorite parts of life is adopting new personality traits. last month i decided to become a person who reads in the morning and goes to the library. this month i’m becoming a person who eats oatmeal and loves linen clothes. if you see something in other people that you…
Money worship and sycophancy have really deeply permeated ala Igbo, and I shudder at what the next few years hold.
