Dotun Popoola has become known as “Africa’s Iron King” for his incredible sculptures that he creates out of scrap metal.

Today, the 43-year-old’s work is focused on transforming waste into wealth, primarily through metal recycling. At the Africa Investment Forum 2023 in Marrakech, Morocco, the artist and environmentalist stressed that his art fosters a recycling economy and lowers tons of waste in Nigeria.

“My art is rooted in the use of discarded materials like motorcycle tanks, brake pads, car struts, bolts, nuts, and electric generator parts, all of which symbolize the visible signs of infrastructural decay in Nigeria,” Popoola told CNN.

Though his larger pieces can take one to two years to complete, he demonstrates a commitment to training and mentoring young artists to boost Africa’s art community, with a studio near Obafemi Awolowo University to train emerging artists.

Kenneth Mellanby Hall

If halls were siblings, Kenneth Mellanby hall would undoubtedly be named the heir in University of Ibadan. Founded in 1952, the hall has encountered different categories of people as residents and has equally witnessed the birthing of all other halls, from its immediate brother hall, Tedder hall to the family’s last child, Obafemi Awolowo hall. As it is often said, where the head is sick, the whole body will be in serious discomfort. The Premier hall, therefore, cannot afford to drag its feet in a show of mediocrity.For one, I can say mellanby hall is the most beautiful or rather should i say handsome hall in the University of Ibadan

Amos Tutuola (June 20, 1920 – June 8, 1997) was a Nigerian writer who wrote books based in part on Yoruba folk tales.

Despite his short formal education, he wrote his novels in English. In 1956, after he had written his first three books and become internationally famous, he joined the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation in Ibadan, Western Nigeria as a storekeeper. He became one of the founders of the Mbari Club, the writers’ and publishers’ organization. In 1979, he held a visiting research fellowship at the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) at Ile-Ife, Nigeria, and in 1983 he was an associate of the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa. In retirement, he divided his time between residences in Ibadan and Ago-Odo.

Many of his papers, letters, and holographic manuscripts have been collected at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas, Austin.

His works have been translated into 11 languages, including French, German, Russian, and Polish. Some translators, notably Raymond Queneau (French) and Ernestyna Skurjat (Polish), deliberately adjusted the grammar and syntax of the translations, to reflect the occasionally atypical language of his original prose. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

A Short Message To The Nigerian People On The Celebration Of Their October 1st Independence

October 1st is a date of great significance for Nigeria and its people as it marks the country's Independence Day. On this day in 1960, Nigeria achieved freedom from British colonial rule, becoming a sovereign nation and taking its rightful place on the world stage.

The road to independence was not easy, as it was marked by decades of struggle, sacrifice, and unwavering determination. Nigerian nationalists, led by figures such as Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo, and Ahmadu Bello, tirelessly campaigned for self-determination and the right to govern their own land. Their dedication and the unity of Nigeria's diverse ethnic groups were key factors in achieving this monumental goal.

Independence Day celebrations on October 1st are a time for Nigerians to reflect on their history, culture, and the progress made since gaining freedom. The day is marked by various events and festivities, including parades, cultural performances, and patriotic displays. It is an occasion to reaffirm national unity and pride in the rich tapestry of Nigeria's heritage.

Nigeria's independence came with great promise and hope for the future. As the most populous country in Africa, Nigeria possesses immense potential in various fields, including economics, politics, and culture. Over the years, Nigeria has made significant strides in these areas, becoming a regional leader and an influential player on the global stage.

However, challenges persist, including issues related to governance, security, and socio-economic development. Independence Day serves as a reminder of the ongoing commitment needed to address these challenges and build a brighter future for all Nigerians.

On October 1st, Nigerians not only celebrate their hard-won freedom but also renew their dedication to building a more prosperous and united nation. It is a day to honor the sacrifices of the past, celebrate the achievements of the present, and look forward to a future filled with promise and potential. The power to utilise the vast potential like the trinity such as: crude oil, iron ores, & agriculture.

October 1st is a day of great significance for Nigeria and its people. It marks the country's Independence Day, a time to celebrate freedom from colonial rule, reflect on the nation's history and culture, and renew the commitment to building a better future. Nigeria's journey since 1960 has been marked by progress and challenges, making Independence Day a momentous occasion for all Nigerians to come together in unity and hope.

I am making a clarion call to all students of knowledge that are Muslims to take up the responsibility of bridging the gap between conservatives and modernists. Let us all be ambassadors of Islam in global civilization by embracing diversity within our community and engaging in constructive dialogues. Only then can we contribute positively to the world and fulfill our duty as representative of Islam. We should not perceive this as a battle between two opposing groups, but rather as an avenue for growth and prosperity of Islam.

"It's an excellent and well-penned write-up. The future lies in the past as they do say and I think we need more Muslim writers to write on issues that serve to bring the chronicles of the golden age of Islam near the Muslim populace"- Shittu Abass(A student of Surveying and Geoinfomatics in Obafemi Awolowo University)

A Brief History Of Fabianism: Co-opting The Left And Right

"..

Early Fabians tended to downplay their interest in—or debt to—Karl Marx but there can be little doubt that they were inspired by his work, directly or otherwise. I say directly because Marx lived in London from 1849 up to his death in 1883, and spent countless hours working on his Das Kapital in the reading room of the British Museum (which then housed the British Library collection). George Bernard Shaw was introduced to Marx's work by Henry Hyndman, who discovered The Communist Manifesto in 1864 and formed Britain's first socialist political party, The Social Democratic Federation, in 1881. He was the first author to popularize Marx's works in English and introduced them to Shaw around 1882. The Fellowship of the New Life (which later became the Fabian Society) was founded the following year, in 1883, the year of Marx's death.1 Shaw described Marx's Kapital as not a treatise on Socialism: it is a jeremiad against the bourgeoisie…. It was addressed to the working classes; but the working man respects the bourgeoisie, and wants to be a bourgeois. Marx never got a hold of him for a moment. It was the revolting sons of the bourgeoisie itself…like myself, bourgeois, who painted the flag red. The professional and penniless younger son classes are the revolutionary element in society: the proletariat is the Conservative element…. Marx made me a Socialist and saved me from becoming a literary man. (1949, pp. 49–50) The Fellowship of the New Life dissolved in 1898, after which the Fabian Society grew to become a preeminent academic society in the UK. Many Fabians participated in the formation of England's Labour Party in 1900. The party's constitution, written by Sidney Webb, borrowed heavily from the founding documents of the Fabian Society. As seen in the Labour Party Foundation Conference in 1900, the Fabian Society claimed 861 members and sent one delegate. (See World Heritage Encyclopedia, no date given.) The Society grew throughout 1930–1940 over many countries under the British rule, and many future leaders of these countries were influenced by the Fabians during their struggles for independence from the British. These

leaders included India's Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru (whose fashion sense—“the Nehru jacket”—influenced the counterculture2), Obafemi Awolowo, who later became the premier of Nigeria's defunct Western Region, and the founder of Pakistan, barrister Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Lee Kuan Yew, the first prime minister of Singapore, had a political philosophy strongly influenced by the Fabian Society. In the twenty-first century, the Fabian Society's influence is felt through Labour Party leaders and former prime ministers of Great Britain, such as Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. The name Fabian was apparently suggested by the spiritualist Frank Podmore, after the brilliant third century Roman general, Quintus Fabius (Maximus Verrucosus, 303-203 BC). Fabius was made a dictator in 221-217 BC, and, with a small band of fighting guerrillas and superior cunning, successfully defended Rome from Hannibal's mighty Carthaginian army. Fabius's tactics involved “gradualism” and “terrorism,” delaying tactics which were greatly disapproved of by his soldiers and the civilians, and which earned him the name of “the Delayer.” After these tactics triumphed, however, his skill and wisdom was more appreciated. Moving past the more or less established history of Fabianism, I found a compelling, and damning, description of the Fabian plan as central to the whole “New World Order” millennia-long Conspiracy (big “C”), in an archived essay called “Fabian Influence on Council Developments in New Zealand” (Christian, 2006). One premise of the information was that the Fabian Society was behind the various Labour movements in Britain and that it concealed elitist, and even capitalist, interests. This was something I could vouch for from direct experience, having grown up in a wealthy socialist family (we were called “champagne socialists”) who were above all business people but also actively involved in local (and, I was slowly discovering, global) politics, in seemingly reformist and New Left movements such as the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), all having, sometimes obvious sometimes less so, ties to the Fabian Society..."
