England played one of the most sluggish football ever.

[SonOfMoses @AndersonMoses18]

There are levels to football. But you see that England level —it doesn't count in any way countable.

These days has been constantly reminding me that nothing good comes easy—not even in dreams. It takes a lot to pull through the storms of life while still keeping your head high and focused on your goals. Show yourself some mercy.

When the female doctor at NAUTH asked me why my BP was a bit high lately, I lied.

There was no way I was telling her that the cause of my predicament was a 41-year-old footballer from Portugal. Yes, I will not be watching the Spain game. I don’t trust my heart to keep me alive.

We're migrating to a new space.

Kindly bear with us as we navigate this phase.

@BeesPoems is trying to manipulate Nigerians, that because she studied criminology she doesn't have full understanding of what makes a poem a poem; neither is she, in the right place, to differentiate AI poems from human-written poems. That's the height of manipulation.

[SonOfMoses @AndersonMoses18]

Silence in the face of threats is not bravery but cowardice. Hold @BeesPoems accountable , and also hold Nigerian poets supporting her accountable. These people are threats to Nigerian literary ecosystem.

I wish we had a cinema in Uyo, would have had the chance to watch COML and meet the cast especially @UzoamakaPower but Akwa Ibom do me this one.

[Bill @wjneumire]

if you run a litmag and you find authors you like, solicit them. I don't think a litmag that's entirely solicited is a good idea, but 80/20 unsolicited/solicited from people you know you love? solid practice imo

[Nnadi @inkpharm]

Delighted to share that my short fiction “pigeons on my windowsill” is now published in @afreada, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Big thanks to Nancy and Chideraa for the amazing collaboration towards this publication. 🐦‍⬛🖤🪴

We're looking for work that comes out of "song." A particular song. A group of songs. An era. "Song" should be the launching point. We're looking for pieces that treat song not only as "music," but as a gateway to memory, confession, protest, or revelation.

Substack and X just got to be my faves. One hardly beat the labour of love on these platforms.

[Paddler Press @PaddlerPress]

We are open for submissions for our 5th anniversary issue. No theme. Just send your stuff: poetry, CNF, art. Hey, short fiction? Maybe we'll try something new.

[Michael Imossan @michael_imossan]

One thing is certain in Nigeria, whether within or without, whether in politics or in the literary space, the oppressed will someday turn the oppressor. Just give it time. Just give it time.

[SonOfMoses @AndersonMoses18]

Take Ernest out of the picture. Respond to the subject matter of the essay. That's the only way you can be objectively logical in your argument. It's censorship no matter how harder we try to blind the equation. A voice was silent; and you think it's because he's a bigot?

[💫💫 @iamaltstorm]

you people don't hate bigotry and homophobia as much as you say you do walai.

see "allies" o. because of "well-constructed essay," homophobia don turn "difference of opinion." suddenly, it's like williams fubara, hillary, et al. never existed.

make una clap for unaself.

[Ikenna Okeh @IkennaOkeh]

I think literary spaces would benefit from representation across all spectrum of the human experience. That way, art would truly be reflective of everything that we are, in—as much as is possible—the right portions.

To decide what demography gets what presence, or resources, is the prerogative of politicians and not writers. Ours, I think, is to make sure that our art, our spaces, are as truthfully as possible, reflections of any society we attempt to mirror.

I have to stop here because I am already thinking: what if we are being mirrored in this moment, but refuse to accept it?
