#ThisWeekinUSNigeriaHistory in 1983, America’s Billboard 200 welcomed a groundbreaking sound from Nigeria: King Sunny Adé’s Jùjú Music spent 29 weeks on the U.S. chart, introducing his innovative sound to American audiences.

For 40 years, it stood as the longest-charting album by a Nigerian artist – until another Nigerian artist made history in 2023.

American audiences have long embraced the creativity and innovation coming from Nigeria. Can you guess which album ended King Sunny Adé’s 41-year reign? Drop your guess below!

@tokunbo_wahab Why does it seem like the government only clears the drains when there’s flooding or during the rainy season? Drains should be cleaned and maintained every month. Why can’t you work together with the local government to ensure they are serviced regularly every month?

The Story of Olajumoke: The Inspiration behind Angélique Kidjo's "Agolo"

Repost to Educate Someone 🖤

Once upon a time in the village of Aiyegberu, there lived a maiden called Olajumoke. She was the most beautiful woman in all the lands.

As news of her great beauty spread, suitors came lining up, asking for her hand in marriage, but she refused them all. None of them was handsome enough to match her beauty, she proclaimed.

One fateful day, as Olajumoke did her business as usual, a very handsome-looking young man called Ori entered the market and started to buy things. All the maidens in the market were drawn to his eloquence and physique, but Olajumoke was ripped apart by his mere presence. She decided on the spot, “This was her man.”She left her stall and started following him around the market. As the young man was about to leave, he noticed that Olajumoke was following him and he asked her why. She explained that she loved him and was ready to go anywhere with him.

The young man told her he came from the land beyond the red and blue seas, then he asked if she was still interested in going anywhere with him. Olajumoke nodded, “I will go anywhere with you.

”The man began to sing: Arewa deyin leyin mi, deyin o, Arewa deyin
Boba deyin a o kan odo aro, deyin o hey deyin.
Boba deyin a o kan odo eje, deyin Arewa deyin,
Arewa deyin leyin mi,
Deyin Arewa deyin. Beauty leave me (2ce)
You have to leave because we would get to the blue sea
You have to leave me because we would get to the red sea
Go back beauty home (2ce)

However, Olajumoke was resolute that she would follow him to the end of the earth. Thus, the man was done making sure she was not forced. On their journey, they crossed the blue and red sea just as the man had described. Then they entered a forest where the man had borrowed his legs and hands. As he returned them, Olajumoke was petrified with fear. The love of her life now had only a chest and a head. Soon they got to a great tree and Ori presented the chest he had borrowed to the emptiness surrounding the tree; now he had just a head.Olajumoke could no longer mask her fear. She begged him that he should allow her to go back home, but Ori declined. He then placed a cowrie’s chain on her neck so that anytime she attempted to escape from his home, the chain would alert him with the following song: Ori ori o Olajumoke lo
Apon mepo re Olajumoke lo
A re bi osun Olajumoke lo
Ori ori o Olajumoke lo (2ce) O Head (2ce) Olajumoke is going
Damsel as fair as palm oil is going
Damsel as fascinating as cam wood is going
O Head Olajumoke is going

Thus, anytime Olajumoke attempted to run away, the strange chain on her neck started singing so much that wherever Ori was, he would come with the speed of lightning and stamp himself to her chest. So she resigned to her fate in the evil forest.Back home in Olajumoke’s village, a manhunt was sent to all the surrounding villages in search of the damsel, but no one could find her.

One fateful day, a very ugly hunter was in the forest searching for game when he saw Olajumoke roaming around the forest. Olajumoke told him the story of how she got there, and the hunter made a deal with her: “If he helped her, Olajumoke must agree to marry him.” She agreed to his proposal at once, and the hunter swung into action. He cut off the cowries’ chain from her neck using special incantations and he was able to lead her successfully through the forest back home into the waiting arms of her parents.On getting home, she was received back by the entire village. Her parents showed their gratitude to the hunter with numerous gifts, but the hunter wanted something more. As he winked at Olajumoke, she told her parents of her deal with the hunter.They were stunned as the man did not possess good looks or wealth, but there was nothing they could do about it. They eventually gave their daughter to the man.The villagers mocked Jumoke for eventually condescending to marry a man who was not as

The Yoruba man named the “Father of Nigerian Nationalism”

Early African independence advocate Herbert Macauley was born in Lagos, Nigeria on November 14, 1864.

His father was the founder and first principal of the Church Missionary Society Grammar School in Lagos, and his mother was a daughter of the Reverend Samuel Ajayi Crowther, the first registered student of West Africa’s oldest University, Fourah Bay College. Herbert started his tertiary education at Fourah Bay College, which the British established in 1827 to train talented English speaking West Africans to serve the colonial government in various administrative positions. In 1890, Macauley obtained a scholarship to study in Plymouth, England where he qualified as a land surveyor and a civil engineer.

Upon his graduation in 1893, he returned to Nigeria where the colonial government appointed him surveyor of crown lands for the colony of Lagos. In 1898, he resigned from his position and established a private civil engineering company in Lagos, Nigeria.

During the 1920s, a period in Nigerian history associated with the beginning of political agitation for self-rule, Macauley became a leading figure in the first generation of Nigerian Nationalists. In 1921, Macauley passionately led protests in Lagos over water rates, land issues, and mishandling of the railway finances. In 1922, he helped a Lagos chief in his legal battle with the colonial government who had forcefully taken some of his land for government purposes. The highest court in England heard the case and returned the land to the chief. This victory inspired Macauley to establish in 1923 Nigeria’s first political party, the Nigerian National Democratic Party whose members were the first to sit in the Legislative Council.

The Nigerian National Democratic Party dominated Nigerian politics throughout the 1920s until the late 1930s. However in 1934, the NNDP lost its dominant position to newly-organized student groups such as the Nigerian Youth Movement. In order to avoid the demise of the party, Macaulay’s NNDP joined forces with the Nigerian Youth Movement to form the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons, NCNC.

The NCNC led by Macauley was not a political party, it was a nationalist organization designed to advocate for an independent Nigeria. Herbert Macauley did not live to see the attainment of independence in 1960. He died in Lagos at the age of 81 on May 7, 1946.

Yoruba are the face of Africa and Nigeria.
