Excellent article on some of what I was discussing yesterday with @LaniAkande@Morountodun and some others. African academics can also refuse to perform the gatekeeping labour, right? No hard feelings there!
Happy International Women’s Day to all my amazing sisters in the world! To the men you too can strike a blow for gender equality. Happy to spend my first #IWD with women & men of the @WTO focusing on impact of the pandemic on women & how trade and investment can bring solutions.
We’ve come so far, as women, in ensuring that we keep rising for ourselves, our families and the larger society.
We cannot stop now. I encourage you to make a commitment to be the woman who stands for those who can’t stand for themselves. #iwd2021#HappyInternationalWomensDay
‘Africa is often depicted as monolithic. And I do not think there is any excuse for any filmmaker to treat the African continent in this way’- Professor Lindiwe Dovey, our Principal Investigator, discusses filmic representations of Africa with @BBC_Culture https://t.co/j7FZcwLA58
Today, for the first time ever, Among the Stars will be screened to an exclusive audience. I’m immensely grateful to God and everyone who has been part of the journey.
Happy for the success & continued progress of our @wto DG bid. Very humbled to be declared the candidate with the largest, broadest support among members & most likely to attract consensus. We move on to the next step on Nov 9, despite hiccups. We're keeping the positivity going!
Congratulations are in order for Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, as she has been appointed the new DG of the World Trade Organization (WTO)
She becomes the first African and the first woman to head the WTO.
This is the exact time soldiers opened fire on #EndSARS peaceful protesters last week. Protesters who had flags & were singing National anthem were killed by soldiers they usually advocate for their officers to treat them better.

"The Nigerian state has turned on its people," writes Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. "The only reason to shoot into a crowd of peaceful citizens is to terrorize: to kill some and make the others back down. It is a colossal and unforgivable crime." https://t.co/jM85qzxeOY
