Researchers say that birdsong has grammatical attributes, and that crows develop grudges against individual humans. Cool. I want a crow.
I read something pretty funny yesterday about listening to rappers’ early works and laughing at the aliases used which more often than not don’t make it. Mine would sound like this:
“Yo yo yo WHATUP, it’s Sindi Bindi.. AKA.. Forgetful Philomath.. AKA.. Ambitious Tea Set Collector.. AKA.. Miss Good At Pretending To Be In Control But Chronically Awkward In Every Way Especially On...
This weekend was like a sparkling crystal pool with randomly placed fountains of fun cascading into it. Hoisting myself out of it was tricky but that’s what Mondays are for I guess. Sometimes you’re meant to have Sundays that make you hate Mondays because you can always retake a class/fall asleep at work, you cant always relive a celebration. And now on tuesday, I’ll just dream...
Hey I pierced my nose yesterday. And I graduated...
So quick super personal post. Yesterday was my last graduation (for the time being though, my mom is hinting HARD at me doing my doctorate soon. Mxm ambitious woman that she is). I graduated for my Masters degree in International Relations. I had sorta left it for the verrrry last minute and didn’t even really tell anyone about it because it’s not my first so didn’t expect it to be a big deal. My...

Black Tuesday. Grey Wednesday.
So I was chastised yesterday by quite a few people about being a bit snobby about all of the masses lamenting the end of our democratic existence as a result of the Protection of Information Bill (henceforth, the bill) being passed by Parliament yesterday. I figured I should write something about it, not just because it is something monumental to the political situation in our country but also...
Death by Twitter. I think @tejucole is morbidly...
Teju Cole is making Lagos’ nobodies famous. On Twitter.
@tejucole, Aug. 29: Scoop, scoop, scoop, spark. Four of those who were collecting petrol from a damaged tanker in Benue died right there.
@tejucole, Aug. 25: Children are a gift from God. In the returns department: a baby girl, left by the side of Effiom Ekpo Street in Calabar.
@tejucole, Aug. 23: O believers! Know that during the Hajj, a...
I think it's a bummer
“I think it’s a bummer that when we describe something that was amazing we say, “it was almost unreal.” “It was like in a movie or something.” “It was like it was fake.” This goes for sights and sounds and events and conversations, things we see on the street or in the sky, things we think are amazingly good and things that we think are amazingly horrible. But it’s mainly the things we think...

Actually, the two opposing sentiments are often in a delicate and unstable balance. Our campaign promotes a shift in the balance: don’t...
