My full-length play, "The Brigadiers of a Mad Tribe", has been longlisted for the prestigious literary prize, The Nigeria Prize for Literature, 2023.

I'm eternally grateful to God almighty, chukwuokike, the maker of kings.

My short story, ‘American Actors’, is out in @GuernicaMag! I am grateful to Guernica magazine for immortalizing it!

My mother would always remind me, in her ever comforting voice, “One day, one must enter!”

I can’t define my joy!

At Mzilikazi Library, NoViolet addressing the audience:

 “You set your story in a little town in Bulawayo. That is enough. As long as you are writing your characters in a compelling way, as long as you are writing your place in a compelling way, people will always connect.”

I’m grateful to @JoylandPub for giving my short story, VOICEMAIL, a home.

Maybe, STOP cutting down trees and it won’t be so damn hot and the air will be better!

The ancestors prayed for someone like you in their bloodline. They sang about you, they told stories about who you would be.

[Beautiful Nubia @Beautiful_Nubia]

Who are these folks stripping the soil all along the Lagos-Ibadan highway? Who's permitting this?

Why are we buying land, cutting all the trees and destroying the forest? Why do we hate our environment/nature so much? What is wrong with us?

But it's not too late to change...

"Often, Chuka would stop on the bridge under the railway track to admire the journey of the water; it made him think less and calm down. Today, he didn’t stop to watch the water."

“Purple Hibiscus for me is about nostalgia - it’s a sort of romanticised remembering. I wrote it in my early twenties, when I was in college in Connecticut. I was very homesick, it was the middle of winter, and I just started writing because I wanted to remember home…” — CNA
