My sister @Toni_hime FINALLY launched her own cocktail brand, after years of making some of the best cocktails in Lagos restaurants. I’m so proud of her and she had an amazing launch at the Moonshot Food Village. The drinks are so good!

Saw a Nigerian brand threaten to sue who ever replicated her next collection. Went into her page and it was just stolen remodeled designs top to bottom. Her best seller is top Andrea Iyama bottom Simone Rocha cake dress. You guys aren’t slick you’re watering our creativity down!

I will not join the campaign of despair. No, the APC hasn’t won. They cannot win. Power resides where we believe it does, and I still believe it lies with the people.

Big Cabal Media is actually an events company that just happens to also do journalism and content creation

One Global Talent Visa possessor used to be my mutual, he has this same MO, I called it out one day and he blocked me. He’s in the UK forming neutral, while only having vim for Obi. He doesn’t want to be exposed for the fraud he is. A callous being he truly is.

There are people on my Timeline with UK Global Talent Visas and Canada PRs whose entire spiel this election season is to tell you they don't rate Peter Obi. They offer no alternatives and say they are not affiliated with the APC. I hope you know they are wicked and callous.

again, one of the pleasures of being a Nigerian film critic is having the rare opportunity to watch a GREAT film and interview its director. spoke with @ChuGailx about Her Daughters' Mother after watching it few weeks ago. culturecustodian.com/for-chi…
For Chinazaekpere Chukwu, Storytelling is an Act of Witnessing

For Chinazaekpere Chukwu, Storytelling is an Act of Witnessing

For Nigerian director Chinazaekpere Chukwu, stroytelling is an act and art of bearing witness to one's and other's story.

Replying to @ogbeniseyi
Less than two decades ago, they moved a new Oga to NTA Lagos, and to make room for them, they emptied the tape storage and converted it into an office. Rain beat the tapes to decay.

Wow A 4-year old tweet that continues to ring true today. Dem no dey even gree heroes past collect their accolades these days. Once there is praise for the people who put Nollywood on the map, you will see restless souls wailing on these streets and begging to be noticed.

People that never took Nollywood seriously are now fully reaping from the labor of heroes past but still acting like heroes past never existed. Serves “heroes” right, sounded the alarm but we were branded bad. Now they won’t even mention ur contributions to the industry

Why do you think Nigerians would not know when they are being made fun of? Nigerians of all people? That's the problem with the films you people are making. You don't trust the audience and it shows.

If you’re in the business of knowledge production, whether through new media, video essays or what have you, you shouldn't call people on the internet “dull”. Sooner or later, you’ll make a tenuous argument, and someone smarter than you will come along and put belt to ass.
