Daniel Etim-Effiong, D'banj, Richard Mofe-Damijo, Kizz Daniel

Ask most Nigerians to describe a father, and you’ll likely hear the same words: provider, protector, disciplinarian. For generations, fatherhood in many African homes has been defined by responsibility and sacrifice. Fathers were expected to be strong, dependable, and unwavering, often carrying the weight of entire families on their shoulders. But beyond those expectations lies […]

Africa Day: African Culture Is No Longer Waiting For Global Validation

Osas Ighodaro, Davido

There was a time when African creativity constantly felt like it needed permission to exist globally. African music had to cross over before it was respected.

Met Gala 2026: Cultural References We Spotted on the Carpet

Long after the final flashbulb fades at the Met Gala, what lingers isn’t just the spectacle, it’s the work. The unseen hours, the layered references, the quiet (and not-so-quiet) obsessions that shape a single look.

At the Met Gala, every theme invites interpretation, but not every interpretation lands. This year’s “Costume Art” brief called for more than visual appeal.
