While writing for popular TV shows, this Nigerian scriptwriter found her true calling in animation techpoint.africa/2019/12/19/… via @Techpointdotng
Today I was doubly honoured. Today I came to @pau_nigeria as the parent of Dami doing her matriculation - and today, I came as Adjunct Staff of the university so I got to wear a gown and join the procession. My cup overflows.
I'm so excited to finally announce my labour of love for the past few years. Zola and Friends is an animated series about Zola, a white rhino having fun adventures with friends in the Serengeti and Kenya. A few lessons are learned along with the fun. More info out soon.

In 1986, Michael Morton was convicted of murdering his wife, a crime he insisted he never committed. For the next 25 years, he remained behind bars, fighting to prove his innocence.
In 2011, DNA evidence finally revealed the truth, clearing Morton of the murder and helping identify the actual killer. This emotional courtroom footage captures the moment a judge officially exonerated him after more than two decades of wrongful imprisonment.
Over those 25 years, Morton lost his freedom, precious time with his son, and countless moments he could never get back. Overwhelmed by the decision, he broke down in tears beside his attorney.
Justice had finally been served, but it came 25 years too late.

While the text in this post is true, the video is the Oct. 2018 acquittal of Daniel Villegas who, after being imprisoned since 1995, proved on appeal his statements at age 16 had been coerced & he had ineffective counsel.

We had our last animation writing class for Milo Murphy's Law. It's been such an amazing course. I feel like a proud mama - my students wrote amazing spec scripts of the show! 🥰

Africans selling other Africans into slavery for profit was a great crime against humanity.
Yet they're not ashamed of themselves - on the contrary, they're demanding "reparations" from Britain for buying slaves off them.
"You bought the slaves we sold, now pay us reparations!"
