I spent 47 days as one of several thousand African migrants seeking to enter Europe through the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea.

Story on @fijnigeria tomorrow, Thursday and on Friday.

@gnocchidrive can you please share “SELF-PORTRAIT AS A COFFEE POT (William Kentridge, 2022)” as well?

‘The idea for Layers of Time and Place: What Lies Beneath’ emerged from Abraham Oghobase’s first trip to Jos in 2017. The large man-made ponds and lakes, which form a prevalent part of the modern landscape of the city of Jos and its surrounding areas, were visually striking.

Expression is one of the most accessible forms of civic power we have. It breaks down complex policy into human stories, turns silent frustration into a movement, and builds bridges where walls used to stand.

Art is more than a medium; it is a tool for civic engagement, dynamic dialogue, and grassroots transformation.

Ta-Nehisi Coates said, “You can’t talent your way to writing. It’s built. It’s a built thing. It’s a made thing. So the real thing you got to do is you got to come back to that bad writing and you’ve got to revise.”

Like James Baldwin said, “I’m not a writer. I’m a re-writer.”

The Chimurenga arts collective explores the relevance of FESTAC, a near forgotten, epic black arts festival held in Nigeria in the mid-1970s, for our age. https://t.co/6Yy56oelji

The one tool I wish I'd had when I landed at Charles de Gaulle two years ago.

Paperasse - An AI co-pilot for navigating administrative paperwork.

It guides you through French administration, step by step, in your language

Happy birthday to the anti-imperialist and anti-colonialists Frantz Fanon who was born on this day 101 years ago 🧵

[Rosa Luxemburg Foundation @rosaluxglobal]

#OnThisDay in 1925, Frantz Fanon was born in Martinique. A psychiatrist, political thinker, and anti-colonial revolutionary, Fanon became one of the most influential voices against colonialism. His experiences of racism in the French army shaped his political thought.

I really love the middle belt conversation/debate happening on Jos Twitter right now. Maybe we should have a fireside chat on that? @LengdungT @PrayForStreetz @lawunna_yilwada @pwajok_jane @A_Abby_Abi @drjallo

At times of thinking freedom you remember great philosophers of all time who used music, like Fela and Bob Marley. Don’t gag me, jemwitemi, Fela sang. Power fears truth. If Nigeria needs any thing now it is those who can speak the truth. It is redemption song time

Today, GoNigeria releases a statement calling on every eligible Nigerian, particularly the millions of young people who have turned 18 since the last general election, to register to vote before the 24 July 2026 deadline.

Over the past few weeks, GoNigeria has been actively engaging young Nigerians through sustained on-the-ground outreach and across a range of media and digital platforms to make voter registration information more accessible. This work will continue in the days ahead.

While voter registration is the immediate priority, it is only one part of GoNigeria's broader mission, anchored by our four foundational pillars: electoral reform, the protection of freedom of speech, judicial reform, and the security of life and property.

I encourage you to read the full statement. If you are eligible to vote, please register before the deadline. If you know someone who is eligible but has not yet registered, encourage them to do the same.
