They Lead, we bleed.

By: Mbata Lawrence

I plead for my dear country Nigeria;
For our green is fading and our white stained with blood.
The giant eagle has refused to fly; its wings have seized to flap.
Their plead to lead have become more than a nightmare.

I wish for Moses to lead that we may have roses rather than thorns that causes this bleed.
They took turns to loot;
Blowing their trumpets, they saw us their puppets.
We've been served blemish as dish;
Little wonder we stool at the digest of this.

Our mother land has become a murder ground,
Where we mope and wear faces that frown.
Every town is wailing and all I see are hearts failing.
My Nigeria is fading, with hope I wish for peace to awaken.

Drunk in hatred they kill more than a hundred;
That's the headline each day I mope at the mirror.
I go to sleep today to wake up tomorrow;
I close my eyes to pray for Nigeria.

Seeing Through The Indignant Eye

Mathew Oyedele With the ongoing happenings in the country, Samuel Ajobiewe is right to entitle his recent exhibition The Indignant Eye . These happenings did not just start but the faulty lines have always been there to be maneuvered by those who are entrusted with the sanctity of Nigerian institutions. The exhibition took its title from the 1969 book by Ralph E. Shikes which positions the artist as a social critic. Ajobiewe is not an unknown name in the Nigerian art scene. He is a renowned artist who works across diverse media including pastel, watercolour and acrylic. He had his first solo exhibition in 2009 at Mydrim Gallery in Lagos and has since gone on hiatus until his recent exhibition at the National Museum, Lagos. Perhaps the thirteen year hiatus has enabled him to observe, contemplate and solidify his socio-political commentaries. One of his bold socio-politically themed pieces at the exhibition, albeit satirical, is The Ineffectual Scarecrow , an acrylic on canvas piece cre

‘From Discards to Coveted’: The Changing Status of Fabrics

Mathew Oyedele Samuel Nnorom's The Politics of Fabrics is an exhibition of works that were created during a one-month residency program at Guest Artists Space Foundation, Lagos, Nigeria. For the first time in his career, the artist who lives and works in Nsukka, was able to create works in Lagos – the economic and cultural capital of Nigeria – with materials obtained from it. The exhibited pieces continued the artist's interest in narratives and subjects around fabrics but marked a stylistic departure from his previous explorations of ankara fabrics which are centered around the examination of social structure, social organisation, human condition, safe spaces, distribution and distance. The new work looks at imported second-hand clothes from the West and how they affect the development of our local textile industry. These second-hand clothes and cast-off fabrics have different names in Nigeria. While they are popularly known as Okrika , they are also known as Akube , Bend Do

HOW THREE NIGERIAN ARTISTS REACTED TO THE HAPPENINGS OF 2020.

Bob-Nosa, The Patriot, Acrylic on watercolour paper, 2020. Mathew Oyedele In a bid to curb and control the spread of coronavirus in 2020, the Nigerian government announced an indefinite lockdown that would reduce the transmission of the virus and protect the citizens. The lockdown restricted movements, halted business activities, and suspended all leisure, social and cultural activities. It did not leave out artists who usually work in isolation out of its wide-ranging impact. It came as a surprise to some of them. They could neither access their favourite materials nor replenish the exhausted ones. They were left with little or no income as galleries were closed; while exhibitions, auctions and art fairs were postponed. Artists had to rethink their approach to materials, subject matter and concepts in order to adapt to the changing environment. While the lockdown was gradually easing up, a youthful protest under the theme 'EndSARS' erupted on the streets of Nigeria to demand
