As an embodiment and a condensational symbol of terrorism in Nigeria, Boko Haram is a phenomenon that cannot be ignored.

Do #BokoHaram and journalism gain mutual benefit from spectacular terrorism? New in @MWC_Journal: Performing terror, communicating fear: Analysing terrorism as performance of violence, by @MercyUEtte. Read here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…
In its annual flagship publication, trends.minorityrights.org/ Minority Rights Group International draws attention to the intersecting water crises minority and indigenous peoples face worldwide. I contributed a case study on Ogoniland in the Niger Delta of Nigeria. #WaterForAll
The Inn was a construction site when l left @elonuniversity after my @FulbrightSchlrs adventure. It is now an Eden. Good job @ElonConnieBook and the team.
Finally!

18. In that same piece, FAJ mentioned @MercyUEtte (left) & @pakpan2004 among the "good feature writers" in the stable. Now academics, both blossomed in other media before travelling abroad; Ette, asst editor, Newswatch mag (89-99) & Akpan, asst editor, African Concord mag.
New article makes valuable contribution to the literature on women in politics by accentuating the resilience of women in a context where electoral dynamics undermine participation and make access to the political space a privilege. doi.org/10.1177/002190962210…
Sir Sidney Portier, an eagle on the iroko, has flown. He was one of the most pleasant human beings I have ever met. Will always treasure memories of our encounter.
Someone gave me a candle a few years ago. Tonight, it became a thoughtful gift because of a power cut in my neighbourhood. I wish l could boil a kettle for a cup tea. Any tips #northernpowergrid?
An iroko has fallen. Thank you @TheDesmondTutu for being a powerful voice. Go in peace.

@MercyUEtte book just came to Qatar. People talk about decolonizing the curriculum and de-Westernizing media studies. Well, this is it! Fantastic and promising.
'Unheard Daughters' celebrates human resilience and inner strength. It creates space for the excluded, marginalised and silenced to have a voice, be validated, seen and heard.
A short video of Unheard Daughters, our project with Boko Haram survivors in Maiduguri and Mubi (Nigeria)- video produced by Arathi Suresh from School of Performance and Cultural Industries, Leeds. These women are amazing!

Day 4 of #ijpp20 conference starts with a roundtable on 'The challenges of publishing research from and about the Global South and what we can do about it.' Should throw up interesting thoughts.
Take-away from Day 3 of #ijpp20: Fact-checking has always been part of journalism but it is now more strategic because of the spread of disinformation.
Day 3 of #ijpp20. An engaging discussion about the changing media/state relationship in South Africa is a reminder of the country's history of apartheid.
