Dear Fellow,
Welcome to another weekend, and the last Saturday of September 2022. This is also the last weekend for the third quarter of the year. Gains and losses are already been counted, while projections for the remaining three months of the year are laid out.
In this despatch (as usual) is the breakdown of all that has happened in this quarter in this space. Quite a lot has happened, but only a few are shared here. On a journey such as this, taking notes and marking time is necessary, to continually assess the progress one is making.
That said, let’s run through the details.
A Year’s Journey
As you must have known by now, this publication is over a year old. You can read more about the journey in the article titled “A Year’s Journey”. Check it out: Read A Year’s Journey.
Seven-Seven-Eight
778 new subscribers. Quite thrilling. The previous quarterly despatch reported 59 new subscribers, reaching a total of 174 subscribers. In the past 13 weeks so much has been happening around here, especially with the subscriber counts. The increase is primarily a product of recommendations. Many thanks to the other publications in this space (Sustack) for recommending this publication to their readers, especially Little Ends. The total number of subscribers to this publication at the time of this writing is 952.
Articles Published
A total of 19 articles were published in this quarter. It turns out to be the longest in a quarter so far. The last quarter had a total of 12 articles. Find the list of the articles (and the links to read each) attached to each article at the end of this piece.
The Latest Podcast Episode
Another podcast episode was produced in this quarter also. As with the first episode (Beautiful Interruptions), Omah took on the production. This episode is titled “Of Dance and Mirrors”. Omah now runs her own podcast called REST. Do well to check her space and obtain value. If you enjoy her delivery on Of Dance and Mirrors, do not hesitate to put out a word.

The Reading Nigeria series
In the countdown to Independence Day celebration in Nigeria, your LetterMan has been on a trek on the history of Nigeria with Max Siollun’s book What Britain Did to Nigeria. Insights gleaned from the reading constitute the content of every piece in this publication bearing the title “Reading Nigeria”. So far, four parts have been published in the series and it is receiving a fair amount of following. Check out the latest episode: Reading Nigeria 4
