Temie Giwa

In August 2012, Giwa returned to Nigeria. In September of that year, she got married at the University of Ibadan.

From February 2012 to October 2013, under the pen name "Temie Giwa", she wrote a weekly column on YNaija, a Nigerian youth-focused web magazine on the many issues facing the country. The column was titled What Works.

From December January 2013 to January 2014, Giwa worked with the Lagos State Office of Facility Management whose work included upgrading schools, monuments, hospitals, and other facilities managed by the State.

From June 2014 to October 2015, Giwa was Program Manager for Nollywood Workshops, an NGO set up by the Hollywood, Health & Society, and described as "a hub for filmmakers in Lagos, Nigeria that supports and delivers movie production and distribution, training, and research." In her role as Program Manager in August 2014, during the Ebola scare in Nigeria, Giwa helped supervise the production of Public Service Announcements created by the organisation in collaboration with Nollywood filmmakers, to better enlighten Nigerians about healthy ways to avoid being victims of Ebola.

Temie lives in Lagos with her husband, Kola Tubosun who is a writer and linguist, and their son, Eniafe.
