1. Great short stories in the 6th @Efikomag issue—all edited by the fantastic @ladiopaluwa. 2. Ernest Ogunyemi chose smashing poems, including a funny one about fake Adidas shoes. 3. And a GLORIOUS essay from a former Christian. 4. All African, all at efikomag.com.

Stupid, stupid Arteta. Arsenal lost this match—and potentially the league—in the transfer market. Buying Gyokeres, Noni Madueke, and Eze was such a stupid thing to do. None of them is good enough for this level.

There isn't a single player in Arsenal that you can rely on to hold onto the ball, even under the tiniest pressure. Arteta has built a truly terrible team contesting in elite football circles.

Biko, I’m not watching. Is Odegaard match fit?

For such a delusional bunch, Arsenal fans are immensely creative.

Finance people here say Nigerians have a numbers problem. Strange to see that it extends to nutritional formulations. There's really no reason this particular tweet should spur outrage. It's basic math and common sense.
gst@wearegst

No. Maggi bouillon in Nigeria reaches up to 25g sodium/100g. That’s nearly 60% above the WHO benchmark for bouillon (15g/100g) and the EU’s maggi bouillon formulations. Nestlé’s double standards and NAFDAC’s laxity is causing harm to Nigerians.

This is the Arsenal that wants to beat Manchester City this weekend? They can't even get corners or crosses right. An embarrassing defeat cometh for Arteta and his fellow clowns.

I don't like the afrobeats conversation where we only think in terms of artistes who transitioned into the streaming era, ergo, the Big Three. My Afrobeats appreciation still includes P-Square, Tuface, D'banj and dem
Text Bro@Catchoris

One reason Afrobeats is not a great genre is this: Its Big 3 have only 1 classic album between them: Wizkid's Superstar. Davido makes good (not great) albums. Burna Boy came close with African Giant but he should have made On the Low its last track. LIFE has a similar flaw.

If the Afrobeats genre's goal is dancing in the age of short attention spans, the single almost certainly works best. Which means if these guys—Wizkid, Burna, and Davido—didn't produce classic albums as their debuts or sophomores, there's no chance they can do so anymore.

We have to litigate Superstar someday, though. And maybe Afrobeats just isn't a genre suited to the album as a music format.

Ayomide Tayo@AOT2

I don't think Burna Boy has a classic album yet. African Giant is the closest he's come, but we're still waiting for the one that truly defines him. The talent is undeniable. The conscious musician is not him, though.
