In my debut for @newlinesmag, I explore the phenomenon of Nigeria's missing genitals, highlighting the sociocultural factors that fuel the mass hysteria, while drawing on examples from distant south Asia and Europe. newlinesmag.com/reportage/the-…

Introducing the Devil's Advocate: a live podcast where God and the Devil discuss current events and news in real time. I connected two @runwayml characters to each other and had them speak and discuss the news live. The Devil is going through a rebrand and is deep into self-help, and God is a bit tired and hasn't slept in a while. Thinking of adding a mode where they can take calls from the audience. We could also technically run this 24/7.

I’ve realized that many people don’t actually love reading books. They love the identity of being someone who reads books. The aesthetic of it. The photos. The intellectual vibe. But the quiet discipline of reading slowly and thinking deeply? That part is very unpopular.

@J_Chiemeke I’m shocked, Chief. Checked out the website and apparently they’ve been using AI to write their stories for a while

Very niche journo request that I hope reaches the right audience: I am on the hunt for old fans of Weird MC / the ‘Weirdos’ back when they used to tour Nigerian university campuses in the late 1980s Please ask your parents 😭 #afrobeats #Nigerianmusic #Nigerianhistory

Spent a few days in Calabar, and here are my few culture shocks; 1. Calabar people are sooo law-abiding— they obey traffic lights even on Sunday nights 2. Calabar passes for the greenest city in Nigeria — the roads are tiny but there are enough spaces for trees and green lawns. 3. They are liberals— they are not as conservative as their sister state. You can walk through streets without hearing Efik (I know the state is multicultural, but it gave the vibes of Lagos and Abuja). 4. There are no aesthetically pleasing restaurants, lounges or hotels — they have all these things but they are basic. 5. Crispy chicken restaurants are literally everywhere, even in their bathrooms. 6. Most places are named after women — Marian rd, Maria, Mariam, Mary, Marina Resort etc (funny how they all start with “M”) 7. The mini buses carry 2 people in front. They’ll pack you like sardines. 8. Calabar is sooo safe. I hardly hear of petty theft. You can walk the streets early hours without fear. 9. Keke are not commonly seen — though, they have particular routes they ply. 10. They have only one mall, Spar. Calabar people are sooo nice. I mean, out of this world nice. 11. All the meals I ate here bangs. They really know how to cook. 12. The state is on a nosedive, it has a lot of breathtaking tourist sites, but negligence is killing these places. 13. They don’t joke with Christmas decorations and carnivals. O m g. You’d think that’s the only event the states enjoy. 14. Calabar is small shaa 15. The only luxury car I saw here was a G-wagon. And it’s just one. 16. The weather is always rainy even in November. 17. I enjoyed Calabar. Do I wanna come back? Definitely!!! 😜

patterns in the lives of great people if you study enough biographies, documentaries, interviews; you start to see repeating structures. different lives, same architecture. here’s the blueprint almost all great people share: 1. a period of intense isolation they disappear for years. you think they fell off; but that’s when they’re cooking. deep work. obsession. long lonely nights. they resurface with something that changes the game. 2. an early spark some childhood moment that burns into their brain. a teacher, a machine, a failure, a movie, a sound. something that makes them go, “I want to understand this for the rest of my life.” 3. obsessive iteration they don’t do something once. they do it a thousand times. till it’s muscle memory. every great person has a graveyard of early failed attempts that nobody saw. 4. disrespect for convention they question the “normal” way of doing things; not for rebellion, but for truth. they can’t stand inefficiency or intellectual laziness. they break systems, then rebuild them better. 5. suffering → transformation some crisis humbles them; failure, rejection, loss, poverty. instead of collapsing, they alchemize it. turn pain into clarity, frustration into fuel. 6. relentless curiosity they’re polymaths in disguise. engineers who read philosophy. artists who study math. they connect unrelated fields until a new pattern emerges. 7. uncompromising taste they have a vision for how things should be. and they refuse to release anything less than that. this is what makes their work timeless. 8. strategic social connection they find other rare minds. not many; just enough to form an echo chamber of excellence. together they compound genius. 9. asymmetrical focus they focus on one thing so hard that it looks like madness. but that singular focus opens doors others can’t even see. 10. legacy thinking they eventually zoom out from their craft to humanity. they start asking; “what does this mean for the world?” that’s when they shift from “great at something” to “great, period.” greatness isn’t random. it’s a pattern; repeated through different people, in different centuries, under different names. once you see it, you can’t unsee it. and the question becomes: which part of this pattern are you in right now?

Days ago, "Made in Lagos" turned 5. So far the album has aged well in part because subsequent projects by Wizkid come short. Back in 2020, I penned a review about how MIL disappoints.
