In 1984, Nigeria’s 🇳🇬 Zainab Alkali published The Stillborn, a novel that became widely read among young readers. • It explored girlhood, education, and the tension between tradition and ambition. • The book became a common school text across Nigeria. • Alkali was one of the first prominent female novelists from Northern Nigeria. • Her writing gave visibility to voices often missing in mainstream Nigerian literature. • She focused on the everyday struggles and hopes of young women. What other books by her have you read? Share in the comments. #AfroLit

I laugh when I see Nigerians abroad complain about white people not being able to pronounce their names. Such a weird hill to die on. Meanwhile Nigerians from the south cannot properly pronounce Katsina. I can count on one hand the number of southerners (who do not speak Hausa) who I have heard properly pronounce Katsina or Zazzau. I remember doing oral defence of the Marxist literature our history lecturer forced us all to read in first year of law, and practicing with a classmate from Benue and he could not pronounce Zazzau or Katsina. I gave up trying to help because he just kept saying Zauzau and Kastina. Nigerians very often cannot properly pronounce each other's traditional names but somehow want to virtue signal when people from a whole other continent mispronounce their names.



You see the “new names” you’re naming your children, please stop “googling” the meanings . Get a reputable Islamic source and see the real translation. Google combines Persian , Hindu , Turkish and other languages or religions meanings and give the name “cute, pure , light”

Question— do the Arabic names Aamina and Ameena mean the same thing (آمنة & أمينة) & which was the prophets mothers name
