It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

3rd 1x1 unit, north of the previous one, displayed a fairly disturbed stone pavement south of a classic potshed pavement of the fishbone type. Note the dark spot that indicates the presence of a pit. Exploration continues.

Wizkid's Superstar turns 15.
I've written the definitive essay on why it remains the point of departure for everything Afrobeats became.
The producers. The singles. The blind spot. The legacy.
This one took time. Read it. 🩷

When you were only trying to open a 1x1 m test pit to verify an hypothesis, and you find a pavement that looks like nothing documented to date... Ile-Ife for you! Always calling for more!

OLADEINDE OLAWOYIN: "In Saworoide, Kólá Oyèwọ̀ mesmerised us all by embodying the Lápité character in near-perfect verisimilitude. With the commanding presence of royalty, he transformed villainy into an alluring art: he was wicked, brutal, firm, corrupt, self-centered, manipulative, and cunning, yet we all loved him. Ironic? Perhaps not. It was Professor Biodun Jeyifo, elsewhere in a different context, that provided rich insights into that iconic performance, for me. In his seminal 1984 book, The Yoruba Popular Travelling Theatre of Nigeria, Jeyifo noted that Yoruba traveling theatre form was quite important because of its incredible mobility, deep cultural roots, and long-lasting influence on modern African drama."

In 1994, I did a story on actor Kola Oyewo and his son for Tempo. Father and son were in the same undergraduate class at OAU. Well accomplished and almost 50, Baba was keen on getting that degree, and even went on to an MA and a PhD, while busy acting and teaching. What a man!

Where is the Kola Oyewo essay? Where is the obituary?
We cannot keep doing this thing where we don’t get brilliant pieces of writing when our icons transition. Not cool at all. Not cool.
