What I'm reading in 2026
First read is Kingsland. I love the storyline which is about a Black Utopia that ironically has cracks, including a serial killer at large. The narrators did an amazing job. Rating it 4.5 stars

So now we all understand that a cultural item can belong to a specific ethnic group, regardless of its geographic proximity to other groups.
Just last week, when you all wanted to claim gèlè, it suddenly became "shared cultural inheritance."
For the past three years, we've been told that anyone can be Lagosian. That "we're all one." That there's no need for division.
If we're all one, why the discomfort with wearing Yorùbá àdìrẹ as a national symbol?
God is great.
@stephreads7 a select few and currently, there’s a whole conversation about how Black influencers are always sidelined and how Black authors aren’t as platformed so the issue is nuanced
Among your friends, observe whether your ethnicity is constantly the target of their so-called “tribal” jokes. If it is, then what you may be experiencing is microaggression disguised as humor.
To all Yoruba silent observers who stay behind the keyboard and watch all manner of rhetoric’s flying around about us.
Rhetorics like lazy, dirty, ugly, too beautiful to be Yoruba, coward, betrayals, slaves, razz, loud-mouthed, and many more.
I was once a silent observer and let all the rhetorics fly and do nothing.
I STOPPED. Not anymore, not in my watch.
These rhetorics have been internalized far too long by some young Yoruba as evident in the Yoruba-buts.
My children will come and ready about Yoruba here and whatever they read will shape their opinion.
I will use my pen to rewrite history on here.
The goal of the hate is so you can shrink yourself in your own domain and tiptoe around them like you’re on eggshells. Own your identity with pride and never apologise for being excellent at what you do. Tunde OD bragged about his achievements and they tried to pull him down, but he owned it and succeeded even more. Forget being humble, BRAG ABOUT IT.

If a people is deliberately pushing false narrative and information about your ethnic group in the name of politics, you have no business sitting on the fence.
You are either for your people or against them.
Note: you are NEVER AN OUTLIER in the face of this people.
This is not politics, this a deliberate attempt to erase the true history, culture and identity of an entire ethnic group.
Digital print is the greatest tool today.
so people should use an ai tool to judge their original work? and to test whether it was ai written? something you guys will eventually use to train your ai. same people that trained ai with people’s writing, are now telling us we should test with ai. tech people ehn. very funny
*Another* apparently AI-generated story wins a literary prize, this time judged by a panel including the novelist Ruth Ozeki.
Literary prizes need to start including Pangram checks in their process, or else change the rules to make AI writing ok. It’s very simple!
The crazy thing when you discover GRV’s antecedents with tribal bigotry, is that the tribe that his bigotry was against is his own people.
I don’t think you get, the people his bigoted tribal slurs and statements were against, are Yorubas, the very ones he wants to lead. Imagine my shock knowing he has been following Harry through every of his blocked pages.

My contribution as an African is that I’m not seeing that movie produced by SA people. Every one of you that has seen the movie “The polygamist” are tone deaf.
Wole Soyinka and American novelist, Russell Banks, disagree on the relationships between experience, imagination and empathy. They were visiting the West Bank as guests of Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish in 2002.
This is the last time I will say this here. I have seen many homes in Ajah are now for sale. If you know what is good for you and your generation, get a good surveyor, before you buy houses anywhere around Ajah.
If possible, use your bank to buy it. Let them do the due diligence for you.
I won’t say more than this.
Watch Tobi Amusan racing in Taiwan 🇹🇼 to win the women's 100m Hurdles.
Despite not breaking much sweat in the race, Tobi Express ran a Meet Record of 12.72s to win this event at the New Taipei Athletics Open meet.
These comments are lazy already. Nobody is going to spoonfeed you folks information
I learnt about it first on Punch Online. There is no day that I don't see a story on the kidnapping in this country. But the thing is, you people don't read them.
