I'm really interested in doing work for people who are hardly heard.
Nobody should be silenced or ignored just because they're minority or because they lack the resources to amplify their voices. Let that be my work.

Debuted in @compactmag today. Last year, I got kicked out of a fellowship over my faith. This is the story of that affair. But It is bigger than me. I hope I did some measure of justice to it.
Thanks to @matthewschmitz for handling the piece well.

I wrote a tweet earlier this week about improving your chances of luck with just structure. One of those things that is priceless is the chance of serendipitous discovery. It is never forced. Prof Osuide says this all the time about time and place.
Always Go To The Funeral
“Always go to the funeral” means that I have to do the right thing when I really, really don’t feel like it. I have to remind myself of it when I could make some small gesture, but I don’t really have to and I definitely don’t want to. I’m talking about those things that represent only inconvenience to me, but the world to the other guy. You know, the painfully under-attended birthday party. The hospital visit during happy hour. The Shiva call for one of my ex’s uncles. In my humdrum life, the daily battle hasn’t been good versus evil. It’s hardly so epic. Most days, my real battle is doing good versus doing nothing.”
In 1986, Dele Giwa was killed by a letter bomb delivered to his home in Lagos. Nearly 40 years later, the question remains: Who sent it?
This week on Previously in Nigeria…
Finding out that you are mildly tickled by the death of another human being is your heart’s way of letting you know that something has been wrong for a while.
Just saw a beautiful bride with henna on her feet and it made me wonder, why didn’t we Igbos preserve Ide Uli? It’s so beautiful. Too beautiful to be forgotten.
