You can now read my short story here: wp.me/pftB0c-2z The story follows an alien forerunner who has arrived Planet Earth and unravels in the human experience.

It's been a year since UNN's The Muse Journal published my short story "I Am Not The Alien", though they titled it differently since I didn't include the title (for some reason I can't put my finger on) in my manuscript. I am publishing it on my site this Friday, 8PM. Be there.🫵

A reminder for this later today. 6pm WAT. Bring your burning questions about writing with you.

This is untrue. Please do some more reading on this. There is good evidence that precolonial Nigerian cultures knew and NAMED kissing. Hausa has old words for kissing for eg sumbata (mentioned in Bargery’s 1934 dictionary) or in Yoruba for eg ifenukonu in Crowthers 1843 ref.

Might be because kissing as a romantic or erotic act wasn’t historically a widespread part of traditional Nigerian (or broader African) culture. It only became common quite recently actually.

This is the finest piece of speculative/sci fiction I've read this year! Gosh it was soo good. I think you've found a niche, and you should luxuriate in it more 🤌🏾💋 Excellent piece. I hope you keep writing.


This makes it my 3000th post on this platform.

I can only feel pity for whoever does not get the memo.

"Kill your darlings" is writing advice. "Kill your characters" is also writing advice. "Kill your editor" is a crime. Important distinction.

I wrote a tribute to my daddy, Chinua Achebe, that's forthcoming in the 10th anniversary Chinua Achebe poetry/essay anthology 😊 It's significant to me and I can't wait for everyone to read it!
