Parenting isn’t always easy. But it’s full of unforgettable moments.

UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador @angeliquekidjo shares the challenges she faced and the joy she found in raising her child, with a little help from music.

Our review of @awapointe's, 'A Small Silence' was a delightful experience... We didn't expect to love the book as much we did; it was a literal case of do not judge a book by its cover.

The book received an average rating of 3.7/5👏

[The Port Harcourt Book Club @ThePhbc]

New quarter, new book...

This month at The Port Harcourt Bookclub, we're reading, 'A Small Silence' by @awapointe.

Get a copy from @Bookvilleworld or @Rovingheights, if you don't already have one

I will not clean the poem to impress the tyrant;
I will not bend my verses into the bow of a praise song.
I will put the symbols of murder hidden in high offices
In the centre of my crude lines of accusations.
I will undress our land and expose her wounds.

--Frank Chipasula.

[jumoke verissimo @awapointe]

@rasaq_malik We are extremely glad too, Rasaq. In fact, too glad 😊

The Rise of Agbero (From Bus Conductors to a Cartel)

There was a time when being Yoruba meant something. It meant intellect, industry, and innovation. It meant producing great minds in all aspects of life. But today, we witness a slow, deliberate erosion of that legacy.

If your itinerary is confirmed
the siren may not be for you
depending on the mood of the city
and the gradient of your skin.
