This album art is iconic. Here's a thread on why. In 1966, the Sudan Christian Mission sent two missionaries to present day Taraba state.
One was the Rev John Boer, father of @WiebeB_Africa, the baby in that photo and the other white kids. The small girl is Lydia Abaga
Mother to Jesse, Jude and Jason. Adopted by the Boers. The other missionary was Bill Evenhouse, who started a music studio in the 80s.
This studio was where the great Panam Percy Paul (who had one album out then) recorded a lot of music. Same for Lydia Abaga.
All of these & more in a long read I've been working on (since 2015), on how the church created 3 generations of musicians in Jos. Watch out

Today's a good day as any to tell the story of what happened on Saturday 14th December 2002 as an example of the lingering issues of federal might in the Niger Delta.

Here's the story of Tinbebelakumo Agadah, who was a four year old then in the village of Odi.
Three years before, Operation Hakuri (Hausa for sorry) II had happened, no thanks to Obasanjo & TY Danjuma. Many reports put the death toll at >2000. Many women were raped and bodies dumped in the River Nun.

Timaya whose mum is from Odi, sang about this in Dem Mama (2005).
There were still ruins of buildings in Odi and that day in 2002, the young boy's mum set fire to a heap of rubbish near one set beside their house. Meanwhile the child was dutifully plucking bitterleaf for soup.

Suddenly there was a loud explosion.

DEAR MINISTER, BIBLE TEACHER, OR CATECHIST:

"I understand you believe that the people we know today as "Jews" are God's "Chosen People," the Israel people of the Bible.
"You, and others, call them "The Chosen Race," "God's Chosen People," "Israel," "The Children of Israel," and other very complimentary names in relation to God.

Here’s a #thread about #judges and #judges’ opinions. I don’t want to name names. I’m hoping Twitterland will get the word out. It’s important, to that small audience at least. It’s about a lack of awareness and humility 1/
So there’s this emerging cadre of judges who write opinions that seem clever and erudite and get some adoring attention. But here’s the thing. At a conference of pretty bright academics of various persuasions and we have two things we seem to all think about those opinions 2/
The first is a little catty; the second is deadly serious. They both matter. (And I’m not naming names of judges or academics but you know who you are.) 3/

#THREAD: #mylifewithstan

There’s a scholar that I used to teach. His name is Stan. He’s wild. We’re really close and he often reaches out to me to keep me updated. Trust me. You want to read everything this child has to say.
Got my weekly call from Stan today. School has begun. Stan seems to have issues with all of his teachers...

Me: So tell me about your day...

Stan: There’s not much to tell. I was in and out of the dean’s office all day.

Me: It’s DAY TWO!
Stan: Actually, its day 233 of the actual year. I learn all year round.

Me: Okay Stan. Why were you in the dean’s office?

Stan: Because I gave the teachers advice.

Me: What kind of advice?

Stan: Well, the art teacher didn’t know what she was doing.
