“In the hallowed tradition of Nigerian politics with its strict ethno-territorial delineation of the political “rights to eat”, Mr. George’s denunciation of Mr. Tinubu is not only an attack on corruption, it is also a protest against the effrontery of a man rumoured to be from Iragbiji in Osun State, to have “eaten” so well in Lagos.”

Choge, who popularised the mature Hausa women genre of music called Amada, was one of the best female Hausa singers from Northern Nigeria.
The Amada is centered around five upturned calabashes floating on water and played with the hands by elderly women.
Without fear of tradition or religion, Choge's songs talked about serious social issues like women’s education and the importance of small-scale trading by women, to vulgar topics like co-wives as idle snobs, voluptuous women’s backsides, etc.
The core message of her songs is that women should get up and shine in a male-dominated world.
Barmani Choge’s music didn’t only make women dance, it also made them think about their statuses in society.
Choge died in 2013 after a long battle with diabetes and paralysis. She was 70. She was survived by six children and 60 grandchildren. #HistoryVille

On Wednesday, three cultural landmarks were badly hit in Africa’s vibrant metropolis renown for its vibrant arts and entertainment scene.
The palace of the Lagos monarch, Oba Rilwanu Akiolu, was the first to be attacked by violent mob, with the palace being eventually vandalised and torched just few moments after the king was evacuated to safety by security agencies.
The palace in Iga Iduganran in the heart of Lagos island was thrown like many places within the metropolis, into confusion as thugs raided and looted the palace.
In the process, the staff of office (Opa Ase) was taken away by hoodlums seen on social media posts mocking the symbol of Lagos’ traditional authority, an act that many have described as “sacrilegious and abominable.”
A few kilometres from the palace, the Lagos City Hall also came under attack on a sad day that witnessed the torching of a high court, at least three ......

Culture of Africa is great
Some Nigerians think this remains a possibility given that the #EndSARS protest awoken Nigerian youth to their potential for collective action while others think the movement has lost morale and mystique by not negotiating with the government to achieve concrete gains and stretching the protests.
