While its multi-genre roots are visible - Nigerian John Wick meets Arrival by way of The Three Body Problem - I think the book also says something important about humanity. It’s rooted in Afrocommunitarian collective philosophy. It blends spirituality & science in new ways.

This is a big day for me.This novel represents the purest expression of all my formative influences & foundational interests, pressed together + running over. It’s an action thriller, a first contact narrative, a genre-defying thing that no plagiarism machine could even dream up

The day is finally upon us!
THE FIST OF MEMORY is officially out NOW in the US and Canada. This near-future story of assassins, aliens, astrophysicists and ancestors that I started 15 years ago is finally out in the world & it still feels a bit unreal.

An alien ship appears over Nigeria. Global powers panic. An assassin, a witchdoctor, and an astronomer are caught in the crossfire.

This comes one month after @fijnigeria's three-part undercover investigation, 'Europe Through the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea'.

Friends who have reached out to me requesting photos with which to celebrate my birthday have found it funny that I sent them desert photos. Some have gone behind me to retrieve flashy photos of me from the Internet; others have outright asked me to send fancy photos.
But these three desert photos of me are the core of my defining moment of the last year. I intend to keep them in public circulation as a memento of the many mountains and seas I’ve crossed in the line of duty.
PS: I apologise for all the calls and messages I haven’t answered. That’s because my photography exhibition, ‘Desserts from the Desert’, is ongoing at Alliance Française de Lagos, 9 Osborne Rd, Ikoyi.
Today and tomorrow are open to the general public. If you’re looking for me, that’s where you can catch me!😊
Arguing with a very wealthy, accomplished older gentleman whose children are also already accomplished while you are wasting away defending the administration that is making you waste away is an interesting part of the social media experience.

When a Gambian Housing development company began building an estate in Rivers state several years ago it found so big a scarcity of basic masonry, tiling and plumbing skills that it made a strategic decision to source skills from the Senegambia region. The firm moved 600 people from Senegal over land to Nigeria, The strategy paid off for Taj Africa Global. The education policy agenda of the NDC, Obi and Kwankwaso and the Big Tent look to overcome that skills gap which is a direct threat to the manufacturing we desire for job creation .

With how popular Netflix series glorifying serial killers is, and the constant gun violence from kids as young as 16 happening in certain countries, the last thing we need to see is fake outrage because someone fought in a club. As if THAT country is not always instigating wars.
