Martina Nwakoby (author of A House Divided, A Lucky Chance) died yesterday. Nwakoby, Nwapa, Ekwensi lived in #Enugu. Having these blood and flesh writers who were also the parents of folks I knew made writing an accessible dream for me. May they all Rest In Peace

@chikaunigwe It’s been a while since I heard of a “stolen” phone. They are useless. People usually turn them in and once you can trace back your steps, you find them. Ndo. Mine hasn’t backed up my WhatsApp so I’ll cry if I had to get a new phone.

@kbrabiu @chikaunigwe I believe the carrier did that when she reported it missing.

[chika unigwe @chikaunigwe]

So grateful for all the support and good wishes from everyone

I am again exhilarated by the intriguing story of a Nigerian author, Prof @chikaunigwe, who recently earned two global honorary distinctions: the decoration of Knight of the Order of the Crown and recognition with a Proclamation/Oorkonde by the Christoffel Plantin Fonds,

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

New Nigeria when our global talents, will unite with our local talents to move our nation forward. That is the New Nigeria I remain committed to.

I congratulate Prof Chika Unigwe once again for this feat. I wish her more achievements as she, through hard work and dedication, continues to climb the ladder of success. -PO

The 'right' way of eating any food-if comfort isn't your #1 priority- is how the culture of the people dictate it. What an imperialistic and culturally poor etc. understanding of etiquette. And what a pity ):

God be praised 4 this journey. It was a roller coaster one characterised with pain, mental exhaustion, frustration and finally, joy for the 5 years duration. Thanks to @chikaunigwe for d support especially in some of the translations. #phdvoice #PhDone

So we have water pressure wahala on parts of campus, and the idea of toilets not being flushable is enough to ask folks not to come in today due to "unhealthy working conditions." I cry in Naija for all the things -big and small- that we consider normal ):

@SheisBoki Happy Birthday, dearest! Wishing you tons and tons of all things good! 🥰

[chika unigwe @chikaunigwe]

There will always be people who will misunderstand you, sometimes intentionally. There will always be people for whom you'll never be enough, do enough. Say what you mean anyway. Be what you are anyway. Do what you can anyway.

[chika unigwe @chikaunigwe]

Thank you for such a wide ranging interview. As a child, I was an introvert, and now still, I'm more likely to be listening than to be speaking BUT I have always loved talking about my writing, about my works, and about those on whose shoulders I stand @TheMidDaughter
