Come next Friday, I will be moderating a panel discussion with Dr Segun Akinlolu (popularly known as @Beautiful_Nubia) on his novel Citadel Blues at @Ibadanfestival. As I understand it, he wrote the book as an undergraduate many years ago, and that is simply impressive.

Went on a travel residency to Northern Nigeria & Benin Republic to learn about hibiscus trade and hibiscus as a dye! Poured all this knowledge into my book!

Yoruba culture honours Animals The Yorùbá attach great importance to oríkì, the laudatory/descriptive poetry of the Yorùbá. So they have personal oríkì addressed to individuals and they also have lineage or clan oríkì panegyric. A close observation of the Yorùbá people reveals that they also create oríkì for their animals. There are numerous examples of animal panegyric in the tradition, and some are included below. The first one is about antelope, which they call Etu.

My next single was inspired by the idea Origins.. I was born in Lagos but I’m not from Lagos like so many of us. My family is from Egba Gbagura, Abeokuta Ogun state…. Feels great to create a sound experiment around where I’m from. I’m in my Afro-Soul fusion mood these days and I can’t wait to share my new journey with U.
