The Adventures of Cosmic Yoruba
& Her Flying Machines too
Something happened in November 2011 that I don’t think I’m ever going to forget. I’m also probably going to keep on bringing it up over and over again. Usually when I hear people talking nonsense about the lack of achievement of my African ancestors, I firmly school them. When I start going on about Abyssinia…
The Last Airbender will soon be released in America soon and it seems my prayers have already been answered. I am extremely glad that the people who have seen this movie seem not to be impressed. I also hope the movie doesn’t do well at the box office (though one of my primary concerns is…
I know I should not be taking Nigerian movies seriously. However last week I had the pleasure of watching a movie that I felt I should blog about. This movie is called White Hunters and when I first saw the DVD cover I was a bit confused about the film’s title but all confusion vanished…
I thought it’d be a good idea to write weekly posts in which I expose all the hair-related comments I’ve received during the week. It’d be a good way to vent as I am beginning to get really touchy when people even glance at my hair these days. I really need a positive place. Furthermore…
For about a week last month, I found myself watching several movies on Africa Magic* that left me feeling very disturbed. These movies were dramas with ‘romance’ in them…I’m not even sure if I should call it ‘romance’ but I guess that is the only way I can put these movies in a genre. The…

Such an eye-catching title isn’t it? To be more specific, it seems some Tanzanian women are actively searching for Chinese husbands! I really do not know whether to laugh or cry, nevertheless, I find this wholly interesting. So, the full stroy; I was searching Google for something or the other when I came across some…
Image from Nashya’s Deviantart! I am sure most readers have forgotten that I am also a comic book fan! Back in May, I wrote two posts (that may or may not have been a bit incoherent) about female superheroes; The Female Superhero and Watchmen and Alan Moore Revisted. A few weeks ago, I was in…
It makes my blood boil when I hear things coming out the mouths of some Africans that seem more suitable in the mouths of the most extreme and ignorant racists. I do realise that most Africans do not know their own history and most people today associate female initiation with nothing but female genital mutilation.…
If you don’t know about the controversy surrounding The Last Airbender, I am here to inform you. Firstly I must say that I strongly encourage you to boycott this movie! Do not waste your precious hard-earned money on movie tickets if you are in support of diversity in media. I’ll also add that you please…
