It all begins with a match, they say. And then it just goes on and on (or so the process is called). Until the end... or an end. “But the idea of this story is that it begins where it ends…” Kindly take out the time to read my new fiction on @Lolwe_ lolwe.org/the-end-of-the…

🇳🇬We’re running it back! Following widespread public demand, My Father’s Shadow will return to Nigerian cinemas from 5th June 2026 for a special limited re-release. We swept #AMVCA12, winning Best Movie, Director, Writing (Movie), Music/Score and Sound Design. Initially released in 16 states across the country from September 2025, Nigeria was the first country in the world to show My Father’s Shadow widely in cinemas. The film is set in the aftermath of the historic June 12 1993 Nigerian election crisis, a date that has since become Nigeria’s Democracy Day. This re-release invites audiences to revisit the film as a living archive of memory and nationhood ahead of June 12.

This fall, Mustapha Enesi (@Eneessi) will be heading to the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) to begin a fully funded MFA in Fiction. To make this transition possible by his June deadline, a GoFundMe has been launched to cover the final logistical hurdles—specifically his SEVIS fee, visa, and airfare. Kindly make support his studies by making donations through the link below or sending a direct message to him @Eneessi.

Sophie Okonedo Says Taking ‘Clarissa’ From Nigeria To Cannes Made Her Cry Tears Of Joy; Directors Arie and Chuko Esiri Are “Very Singular With Their Vision” deadline.com/2026/05/sophie… via @Deadline

Arie and Chuko Esiri’s CLARISSA was by far my most anticipated film coming into #Cannes2026. An adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s MRS. DALLOWAY (my favorite novel) set in Lagos, CLARISSA is nearly impeccable. My review via @Screendaily screendaily.com/reviews/claris…
