The Crossroads

ByMoyo Okediji

Artist: Moyo Okediji

Title: The Crossroads

Medium: Gouache on canvas

Date: 1992

I went into my garage and found a harvest of forgotten canvases waiting for me.

This corona break has given me some time to look at what I already have produced.

This is the last painting I did in 1992, just before leaving Nigeria.

You will notice that it is made from gouache.

For the benefit of the younger artists in Nigeria now, it used to be almost impossible to find oil and acrylic in Nigeria in those days. We had to improvise.

THE PYTHON AND ITS MEAL

ByMoyo Okediji

There is a revolution going on in Nigeria.

They called it, at first, #EndSARS.

Then it morphed into #endswat.

Like an arrow in flight, nobody knows where it is going.

The youth revolution in Nigeria has caught the entire country by surprise.

The youths of Nigeria are incredibly talented.

Nigerian youths have been handed nothing by my generation.

My generation is the generation of pythons.

My generation of pythons can swallow everything and anything up whole and alive.

But after a python swallows up its victim whole, it cannot move from the spot.
