Proud uncle of four. I sometimes talk about Compliance and AI governance, and then about cinema. Currently @Deel. Previously @Paystack.

It's been a couple of years since I wrote anything outside my work, but I was fortunate enough to find the strength again to write this personal article about something particularly dear to my heart this past weekend. https://t.co/vUHQgzFsja

@Ken_3dy He's always in their heads. It's almost like a lot of these people simply hate him more than they love Messi. Messi just scored a hattrick and the only thing on their mind is Ronaldo. Pathetic.

I know we throw peak cinema around quite often but this right here is peak cinema.

Happy heavenly birthday Dad. This would've been the big 70, but alas. Keep resting in peace, my good man.

As painful as this video is, it reminds you that behind every “death toll” is not a number, but a person.

A husband who won’t return home.
A father whose children will keep waiting.
A family forced to learn how to live with absence.
A brother, A friend.

A lifetime of Grief.

I’ve just returned from Nigeria’s killing fields.
Pastors burned alive. Entire villages erased.
Yet the world is barely paying attention.

In Nigeria, the typical person earns $125(₦200k). In Kenya, it's $279
Numbers say something, but not the full story

What a country we've become. A place where the human life has no value.

[AFP News Agency @AFP]

REPORTAGE: First, the jihadists wrote, saying they were coming to Woro village in central Nigeria to preach. When no one attended, they went on a rampage of killing and arson. The death toll stands at 162 people, and the search for bodies is ongoing. https://t.co/iNHuYKd5DH

[Elnathan John @elnathan_john]

What a terrible, terrible situation, deliberately allowed to degenerate by every single entity involved.

No global marches. No sexy hashtags. No slogans. No boycotts for "the worst conflict within the worst humanitarian crisis in the world today."

That is why I say, may tragedy never befall us, but if it does, may it be sexy enough for a hashtag.

[Christian Jacob @thisischegbe]

The more I watch this woeful officiating in this game, the more I realise that it's both that this referee is incredibly incompetent and is also scared of being firm against the "host" nation.

Please pray for those in captivity. We have nursery kids who have been ripped away from their parents. I can't imagine the distress.

Three out of Pope Leo's four picks are some of my favourites. I need someone to put him in the Criterion Closet immediately.

In 2013, [@fisayosoyombo] ventured into the perilous villages of north-central Plateau State, where over a thousand people had been slaughtered in the preceding two years.

In this five-part series, he revealed the chilling story of viciously orchestrated serial killings—an unfolding tragedy that should concern not only the federal and state governments but also ordinary citizens, even those living far from the Plateau.

I have no opinion about him, but as I read tweets, from adoration to hatred to celebration of his death, all I can think of is that in a few days everyone tweeting will move on with their lives. But his wife and young children will carry this grief for the rest of their lives.
