The memefication of outrage is what will ensure that no matter how egregious the actions of politicians, Nigerians will, instead of reacting in any useful way, turn to memes and skits, giggling as their home burns down.
Reminds me of the timeless words of satirist Peter Cook who, at the height of the satire boom of the 60's in Britain and worried that political comedy was turning into a facetious distraction, said that Britain is "in danger of sinking, giggling into the sea".

“People get used to anything. The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think oppression is the normal state of things. But to become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave.” -Assata Shakur

I grew up reading Baba Jeyifo, and I'm so glad that generations of scholars interested in African literary and critical scholarship will read him and find direction and understanding through his work. Rest with grace, Baba.

Adieu BJ!

Prof. Biodun Jeyifo - celebrated Nigerian literary critic, public intellectual, Marxist thinker & pioneer leader of ASUU - has died at age 80.

His work reshaped African literary scholarship & his mentorship spanned continents.

@Fifibillions Please what can be done? Where is she staying and can we just mobilize on her behalf? She needs therapy and justice! Please provide more information so help can be brought to her!

I plan to hold a free workshop for creative writers who don’t know how to submit to literary mags. I would give tips that have helped me in my journey. I would explain how to improve your craft. Again, the workshop is free. Please, indicate if you are interested and share.

in my latest essay for @republicjournal, I write about the narrative techniques of Victony and why he’s one of the most original stylists in Afropop today ✨
