1 week ago | bellanaija.com | Ahmad Adedimeji Amobi

This year’s Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) nominations offer something to think about. Films like House of Ga’a, Lisabi, Seven Doors, and Aníkúlápó: Rise of the Spectre lead the pack across multiple categories.

2 weeks ago | bellanaija.com | Nnebuifé Kwubeï

I experienced the black nod again today, and it was as wholesome and refreshing as the first time I experienced it. I first found out that there was something called black nod some years ago. It was from “Blackish,” a series. It was one of those things I didn’t pay attention to because as much as it was a common thing for someone to give you a curt nod in school, it was usually from a small place of familiarity. People you don’t know don’t give you a nod when you walk past them.

Are We Responsible for Our Reactions?

4 weeks ago | bellanaija.com | Ahmad Adedimeji Amobi

I read somewhere that everything we do is a choice. Whether you decide to be wicked or compassionate, it all begins with what you choose to do by yourself. I didn’t think it was true until I explored how humans relate to their emotions. I started with a self-evaluation of deciding what to do when something occurs to me. Most times, I am capable of deciding what my reaction would be. People have been mean to me, and I repay them with kindness. People have also been wicked towards me, and I reciprocate.
