My Father’s Shadow is the first Nigerian story to be selected by the UK for submission to the Oscars for Best International Feature.

To all Nigerians who watched it in theatres: thank you. As the first country in the world to show the film widely in cinemas, our theatrical run was the qualifying run for this submission.

My Father’s Shadow is still showing in theatres in Nigeria until Thursday 16 October, so make sure you catch it while you can.

the dichotomy of it all. everything, all at once

the photos are in black and white but we are only 1-2 generations removed from this, it’s so crazy how nigeria has swept it under the rug. even within igbo families, this time was so traumatizing our elders barely talk about it

simply grateful for all that I have, all that I am, and all that is coming my way.

Buy your children a book every month and have a date to talk about the book and what they’ve read. Talk about the characters like they’re real. Bond over literature. Debate the lessons and decision making. Over food and drinks. Cultivate readers and build their collection

The way it's being called "Maiduguri floods" like it is a natural disaster.

A dam broke and it was someone's job to make sure it didn't. But no one has been sacked or arrested for the deaths.

Xion got rejected today as he was trying to make friends today. I walked him through how to manage his valid emotions of sadness and pain, but tried to give him tips and tools how to navigate it instead - because folks have the right to not want to be your friend.
