The Black Hemingway

A generous profile of me by Olumide Afolase at @nigeriantribune. It's the first Nigerian publication to take a full-length shot at this, so the flowers are well-received. I appreciate it. In other news, I NEED a new headshot. This photo is 4 years old. tribuneonlineng.com/the-understate…

Actually, egg roll as a snack should not exist.

I frequently speak of legacy media outlets failing in culture/entertainment journalism and coverage. Given the resources available to them, it's a disgrace that they do not support their journos in doing the best work they can. I'm reminded again as I watch the new Asake interview with Korty. She landed an incredible performer at his highest peak yet, which means he would be difficult to pin down. But she did it, and had a great conversation at the end. Can you imagine Punch/Guardian/ThisDay/Nation funding a reporter to work on one scoop for three days? But the Korty interview with Asake will cross 1 million views by next week, and she's just one person. I wish her continued success, and I hope it jolts older media corporations to get with the times.

Why can't we praise Miles without pillorying Giveon? You people are weird.

@OlannaOli @irokocritic Spare a few thoughts for Alex Lopez and Sandra Achums

And Patience Ozokwor wicked mother-in-law too, please. We will take it, but we know you can do better. Join us this Sunday to celebrate women in Nollywood; from damsels of the 90’s, to Y2K baddies, and the daughters that have come from them.

I understand those advocating for mass arrests. What am i reading?????

So, from this 2-minute trailer, what genre can we say this movie falls under?

You know you're getting old when the timeline is questioning the ability and impact of peak Wayne Rooney

Seeing a publisher using AI to generate a book cover feels like a porcupine's hug.

@jujukoju @ChuGailx No.

@ChuGailx i don't know, i still see OC Ukeje though

Him playing a reverend father, by the way.

As per "Kill Boro" and "Blood Vessel" didn't exist?

Jailtime is the only fitting punishment for those boys. Nothing else will do!

I am utterly disgusted by what's happening in Ozoro, Delta State. Shows how fast society has crumbled into depravity. This is what happens when laws aren't enforced as they should, and when people are no longer afraid that there are consequences for every degeneracy they display.

This is a public relations officer of the Nigerian police responding to a woman talking about a matter of sexual assault. In public. Tweeted to millions of people. Now imagine what happens inside a police station.

Nah my G! These are not “dumb village twats” Their actions are being recorded and published with smartphones to the internet. They are not in 1717 they’re in 2026 just like the rest of us. We’ve allowed misogyny to grow and thrive in our communities online and offline and this is just a manifestation of it. We’ve collectively failed our women time and time again that’s why you have men comfortable enough recording themselves saying “they told the women to stay indoors”.

Chuck Norris, the martial arts champion who became an iconic action star and led the hit series “Walker, Texas Ranger,” has died. He was 86. Norris was hospitalized in Hawaii on Thursday, and his family posted a statement saying he had died Friday morning: It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning. While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace. To the world, he was a martial artist, actor, and a symbol of strength. To us, he was a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, an incredible brother, and the heart of our family. He lived his life with faith, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to the people he loved. Through his work, discipline, and kindness, he inspired millions around the world and left a lasting impact on so many lives. While our hearts are broken, we are deeply grateful for the life he lived and for the unforgettable moments we were blessed to share with him. The love and support he received from fans around the world meant so much to him, and our family is truly thankful for it. To him, you were not just fans, you were his friends. We know many of you had heard about his recent hospitalization, and we are truly grateful for the prayers and support you sent his way. As we grieve this loss, we kindly ask for privacy for our family during this time. Thank you for loving him with us. variety.com/2026/film/news…

I’m used to seeing graphic content almost daily, but the videos coming out of Ozoro are especially difficult to watch. And during Women’s Month too. Are we actually progressing or regressing??

@ChimezieChika1 Daalu rinne

@J_Chiemeke Congratulations, Jerry.

So I'll be a member of the Jury at this year's Visions Du Reel International Film Festival. Launched in 1969, it's one of the world's major festivals dedicated to documentary films. If you're in Nyon, Switzerland in late April, we could catch up for a beer, and then another.
