When Nigeria Happens To You: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s grief

September 14, 2026 6 Min Read

There is something deeply uncomfortable about the idea that Nigeria can “happen” to someone. For many Nigerians, especially those in the diaspora, Nigeria can exist as two things at once: home and heartbreak. We can complain about it endlessly and still defend it fiercely when someone else points out its flaws. But it’s easy to idealise a country when its failures remain abstract. It is different when Nigeria happens to…

October 20, 2025 9 Min Read

But people acted and the authorities would get involved. Legislation like…

September 14, 2022 4 Min Read

A teenager scrolls through their phone and within seconds they encounter breaking news. A scandalous viral video or a politically charged post shared thousands of times.

In a digital world where misinformation spreads faster than facts and algorithms quietly shape what we see, think and feel, young people are growing up on a battlefield of competing narratives. Media literacy is no longer…
