When someone dies relatively young, or suddenly, try not to make comments about getting regular check ups and things that suggest we have absolute control over our lives. Just wish them on and remember to live. Scarily and exhilaratingly, life happens … to us all.

I want you all to watch this video, from the beginning to the end. I want you all to watch this video, because I want you all to stay angry. This movie wasn't made this year. The title is "blood and oil". It was made in 2010. Let that sink in. Watch it & stay angry!

Nigerians don’t have morals. Not the religious or “home training” type(we have those) but the kind that makes society work. We don’t have that. Integrity, valuing honest labour, honesty, ethics, fairness etc and it shows in the decisions we make on a personal and national level.

Miami! See you soon…

Last day at Art Basel Miami Beach. Be sure to see Tonia Nneji's lovely series "Uncommon Lands, Common Grounds". On view at Booth P18. #ToniaNneji #ArtBasel #UncommonLandsCommonGrounds #ReleGallery #MiamiBeach #BeautifulExperiences #Art Photo courtesy of Tonia Nneji

Thank you❤️

FUN FACT: This old photo of that actor that loves proverbs, is actually a lot closer to what authentic igbo clothes look like, than that hideous isi agwu rubbish festooned with anaemic lions igbo men insist on wearing today. The red cap here is still fake, but it’s a solid 7/10.
