When two White police officers arrive at a Nigerian mum’s home in the UK, what do they meet?🤭 Delighted to share my short story ‘Cat-a-sto-phe!’ published in @OtherSideLitMag with you all. Culture clash. Humour. It’s a lighthearted story about an important issue.

What we should be talking about in Nigeria right now, in the face of this hardship that feels like a class action, is how to show the government we are not a walkover. Any conversation outside of that is a distraction. The Tinubu regime is a colossal mishap.

⭐️COVER REVEAL⭐️ Here she is, THE TINY THINGS ARE HEAVIER, my stunning debut. This cover photo by Adaeze Okaro is perfect. Divinely made for this novel. You’ll see why come June 2025 when the world finally gets to meet my imaginary friend, my novel’s protagonist, Sommy.
