There is a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from living in a country where you cannot confidently plan your future because the economy, currency, electricity and cost of living can ruin your plans overnight.

Gosh, these Absa emails feel like getting romantic texts from a man you don’t like to whom you’ve been promised for an arranged marriage.

Come to think of it, the sale of @StanChartUGA to @AbsaUganda did not give us as customers the option to opt out. Basically, one bank sold our data to the other .... OK, it is now time to start asking the questions

Why aren’t robots working in mines, drilling for oil, handling toxic chemicals, or cleaning plastic out of our oceans? Why are they writing emails and creating art instead? Shouldn’t technology be taking over the dangerous jobs, not the creative ones? What the hell are we doing?

"The voice shifts because the subject matter demands it. To suggest that a writer cannot write in different styles or genres, or improve his writing substantially after five or more years fundamentally misunderstands the craft of writing." Keep writing, Simba.

Congratulations to the novelist Simba Kundizeza for winning the 2026 @CainePrize. What a great achievement! Pls check out his work + the work of other fantastic African writers on the shortlist. And everyone in media should interrogate why Black & African writers keep getting hit with AI charges by Western publications clearly unfamiliar w/the history of African writing

It's open season on African writers. It stinks and it destroys. The goal here is not just to discredit, but to suppress, and inevitably, silence. I hope it never gets to the point where some get scared to write due to fear of these claims.
Iruoma@heeruomahOct 12
Many writers on the African continent work a full time job, they hardly earn from their writing, and the slightest chance of reward or recognition, you come down with the hammer of “you wrote this with AI”. There’s no wickedness like this.

If I write a story and you ask me to review my previous drafts as if I were a goat thief, I will spit in your face. No writer should even entertain that request. And no person who knows anything about writers should make that demeaning request for any reason.

Our pushbacks shouldn't get lost in tweets. The Atlantic won't take down that essay, so we need to make permanent records of our rebuttals. If you have an essay on this AI witch-hunting debacle and you are looking for where to place it, please send me a DM.
