    Bigger breasts, bigger buttocks, bigger penises: Smaller common sense (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Exactly on June 17, 1958 – two years before the oxygen of independence filled Nigeria’s lungs, and eight years before Nigeria began to fall apart to political crisis – a 27-year-old savant, Albert Chinualumogu Achebe, published a globally acclaimed masterpiece in African prose: “Things Fall Apart”. Sixty-eight years after the watershed publication, were Achebe alive, he is likely to ponder two questions. One: When was the Nigerian woman reduced to a pair of breasts perching above a Brazilian But

    By heritage and geography, Òra-Ìgbómìnà, a countryside in the Ifedayo Local Government Area of Òsun State, is a historic, unique and strategic land. Yoruba history says that Òra is the cradle of education and Christianity in Ìgbómìnàland, being the first Ìgbómìnà town to receive Christianity through CMS missionaries in the 1890s, while St Stephen’s Anglican Primary School, Òra, established in 1912, is reputed to be the first primary school in all of Ìgbómìnàland.

    Before I encountered one of Nigeria’s funniest and roundest fabulists, Gbenga Adeboye, aka Funwontan, I had long encountered a miniature fabulist in Nurudeen Awolaru, my classmate at St Paul’s Anglican Primary School, Idi-Oro, Lagos State. Nuru’s brilliance didn’t shine through the pages of notebooks; it emitted through his thin-lipped mouth. Though I never set my eyes on Nuru since about 1977, his memory is forever etched in the blackboard of my mind. How can I forget Nurudeen – kinky black hai

    After Obey and KSA, will Fuji bury Jùjú? (4) (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A sibling going to bury the corpse of his elder brother naked should take his younger brother along. Why? Because the way today’s corpse is buried naked is how tomorrow’s corpse would be buried. That is a Yoruba thought on fairness, respect, and reciprocity. But who is burying who? To interrogate Yoruba popular music with regard to their origins and heritage, rise, peak, vulnerability, decline, and potential rebirth, without talking about Yoruba’s worldview on music and drums is tantamount to te

    After Obey and KSA, will Fuji bury Jùjú? (3) (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

The ban followed a dispute between KSA and the owner of two leading record labels, Take Your Choice and African Songs Ltd, the late Chief Bolarinwa Yaqub Abioro. The Balogun of Ipokia, Abioro, was a big fish. In fact, he was a shark, capable of swallowing KSA up, like the big fish that swallowed Jonah whil
