Imagine my shock waking up to discover that an idea I’ve spent months developing has been rinsed, repackaged and redesigned by someone else

It’s genuinely difficult to build something from scratch.

Got my offer letter right before Moonshot last year and decided to attend just to meet the team and get a feel for the event.

Fast forward to this year, and Day 1 was my 1-year anniversary at the Cabal. Proud of the work we put into this year's edition!

People who preach in public transport are annoying, but at least some of them put their whole chest into it. What really pisses me off is when someone starts preaching and their voice is barely audible. If you’re going to disturb everyone, at least commit to the disturbance.

How am I supposed to take you seriously when you don’t even sound convinced yourself?

[M @oxiohu]

Pre-COVID workers were right. In-office is where it’s at.

Hi Nora, last year,I won a screenwriting competition and was given the funding to make a short film about the growing insecurities and loss of life in the middle belt.

Having this would help with my new project, an anthology collection of ten short films

I’m wondering why a translator is not an option here.

I dunno who needs to hear this but read your friend's Substacks.

There's a version of them living in those pages that everyday conversation never reveals.

Please go watch David in Industry, Rye Lane, The Long Walk and Alien: Romelus before you give your two cents on his casting cause you guys don’t know ball.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

First trailer for ‘BAD APPLES’, starring Saoirse Ronan.

The thriller follows a teacher who kidnaps a disruptive pupil in order to teach him to behave.

In theaters later this year.

One of my favourite things at @republicjournal is our annual student essay competition.

Years ago, The Republic took off from my dorm room at @UniofOxford, and it’s great to be reminded that students produce some of the world’s most original thinking.

Congrats to our winners!

We joined leading African museums, archives, and cultural institutions to curate 50 new exhibits now live on Google Arts & Culture (@googlearts).

Our collection documents stories from African history and culture.

Take a look.

“Must Nigerians eat bread?”

In the 1980s, this question was at the centre of a national debate about Nigeria’s economic future.

For The Archivist's first episode, we trace the country's historical struggle to reduce its dependence on foreign goods.
