Klaus, Nina Fischer-Stephan's partner directed 'Taiwo Sango', the first TV feature film on Nigerian TV. Based on the same story as Duro Ladipo's Ọba Wàjà and Soyinka's Death & the King's Horseman, Stephan's film starred Kola Ogunmola, Christopher Kolade, Elsie & Segun Olusola.
1964 Photo: Famous Nigerian artist, designer and architect Demas Nwoko (b. 1935) in his studio in Ibadan in 1964, photographed by Nina Fischer-Stephan. Demas Nwoko was born in 1935. He is a renowned Nigerian artist, architect and designer. He is a founding member of the Zaria
A President Demas Nwoko, like Adebayo Adedeji who also ran under the IBB transition, would have been a wild card in Nigeria. At the NIIA obsequies for Adedeji, his protégés in international development—many of whom became their countries’ Presidents—pondered the Nigerian paradox.
for your curiosity and exposure.
"Black Nigerians" had me in stitches!
Nigerians are always screaming at us about the existence of Orania, meanwhile, black nigerians are not even allowed to enter a Lebanese🇱🇧 neighborhood in Lagos, Nigeria🇳🇬
Great to see that the art of pedal steel guitar is not totally lost in Yoruba music--it's in àlùjó that an essential melodic instrument can also be made to perform rhythmic function as this young virtuoso bend it to. His name is Lekan Ekundayo. Happy to discover him on Facebook.
Lol! You didn't even pick yourself as President.
"...One of the mistakes I made was picking a number two (Atiku Abubakar) when I was going to become president..." - fmr President Olusegun Obasanjo👇🔥🙆
“The creative process is simply that all cultures and all concerns meet at a certain point, the human point in which everything is related to one another.” Wole Soyinka has been characterised as one of the finest poetical playwrights to have written in English.
Very excited to see this in print finally. Thanks for delivering @dejitoye! Quite expensive thinking.

@iwalesino Thanks, Prof, for nudging me to do it. A dúpé.
Military clearance of IPOB remnants across these Imo communities earlier this year should have elicited as much attention & relief as the Orire operation. But I guess the communities, long terrorised, were being cautious & are only now gradually regaining the confidence to talk.
The people of Orlu, Orsu, Lilu, and the towns around the Ihiala axis will never forget the atrocities caused by these mad people. Glad it's getting the needed Publicity and a proper documentary.
Good to see the legend Calyso Rose still on duty even with age and on wheelchair. It was in thesame Lincoln Centre I ran into her show in the 2013 summer. Mama was still sprightly... and a tad potty-mouthed. Daddy Showkey's Fire Fire spun off her 1966 breakout Fire in Me Wire.
Hard data to back up trend already noted in the 70s by Tunji Oyelana's Guguru Perere song.
Femi Aluko, co-founder of Chowdeck, reveals an amazing discovery about Chowdeck Customers At the beginning of the month, customers order for turkey and chicken. Second week, they'll order for beef/meat. Third week, they'll order for egg. Fourth week, they'll go back to
"Zonal Intervention Projects were introduced during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999. The ZIPs are also called Constituency projects and have an annual allocation of N100 billion across the 36 states and the FCT"-- BudgIT Tracka Report (2023)
The National Assembly we have today is worst than any in every part of the world The National Assembly is a den of corruption by a gang of unharmed rubbers —former president Obasanjo
By Nigerian standards--and for all its ills--Lagos shows the most balance between the internal & external aspects of political efficacy. People speak up more because they know there's a better chance of responsiveness. People bother less elsewhere because of learnt helplessness.
Who is the commissioner for Environment in Abia ? If these flood issues affecting other major cities are important to us, we should hold the feet of appointees like how we do with Tokunbo Wahab in Lagos. I don’t even see Aba people complaining, spread the energy please!
"Even with the Safe School initiative, which in theory was designed to fortify schools in the country, it is clear that you cannot secure schools by treating them as barracks or fortresses while the entire country burns." Expressed same view before. We need Safe Communities.
The Oyo schoolchildren are finally home. That's worth celebrating. But if all we do is celebrate the ending, we'll miss the bigger story: the kidnapping industry that made their abduction possible is still very much alive. I wrote about why the rescue is not the same thing as
