Chidi Mokeme Is Too Good For Careless Netflix Series Shanty Town

I was watching the first few episodes of Shanty Town when I realised why Chidi Mokeme has received deserved praise everywhere I turn. He was just as good in the 2016 production ’76 but he didn’t receive the hype this series has brought him. One reason is he was in…

10 Thoughts on Arteta vs Wenger After Arsenal vs Manchester United

1. I’m beginning to think Arteta is a better coach than late-era Wenger. Man U kept playing the same way to beat Arsenal and Wenger just couldn’t or wouldn’t change. I recall that FA Cup match where Man U played 6 defenders and won comfortably without Arsenal even scoring. The…

Cristiano Ronaldo In Saudi Arabia Is the Problem With Shiny Greatness

Unfortunately, there is no way of looking at the Cristiano Ronaldo move to Saudi Arabia as a victory. It is a capitulation. The man has acknowledged defeat. I made a joke on Twitter about how I would have gotten a selfie with him if he had signed for Saudi Arabia…

Why Tech And Afrobeats Will Not Save Nigeria: A Rant

People like to separate our inability to produce things science and engineering-related from our so-called expertise in the arts. But I see all of it as related. An inept nation is an inept nation. South Korea that has the almighty electronics company Samsung has won Best Picture at the Oscars…

Tech And 5 Other Reasons PSquare Still Matters In 2022 (And Beyond?)

A couple of months ago, I was invited to a concert at Terrakulture in Victoria Island, Lagos for a concert by PSquare. I had imagined it would be quite an event. And so it proved. The twins still have it. As I watched (and, shh, danced) I reflected on why…

Why Burna Boy and Portable Are Connected to Squid Game’s Big Win At the Emmys

Squid Game showed up and won awards at the 2022 Emmys. Strange thing because big awards in the US are not usually interested in giving their big awards to people not speaking English. Everybody in Hollywood knows this, so imagine how those directly American productions felt when the director and…

Review: With “Love, Damini”, Burna Boy Has Made His Second Mid/Mediocre Album

Reliably, the conscious song on Love, Damini shows up early. It’s at track 6, not quite midway of this 19-tracker. The focus is on the pollution of Port Harcourt, the city that raised the man. Unlike a song like “Soke”, this doesn’t feel like Burna Boy puts a lot on…

The Callous Selfishness of Buhari

The Kuje prisonbreak was followed by news that the Nigerian Airforce had “mistakenly” bombed a village in Katsina and preceded by reports claiming that a presidential convoy had been attacked by “terrorists”. None of these events have spurred a satisfactory response from the government — mostly because none of them…

12 Thoughts On Will Smith Attacking Chris Rock At The Oscars

1. Medically speaking, alopecia (baldness) is about as dangerous as an inability to grow a beard. Man or woman, the harm is your vanity not your time on earth. I’ve realised that part of the debate online stems from ignorance. People think because it’s a “big word”, it carries a…
