The first report (summer 2018)

Yesterday, July 5, 2018.

ÀKÒDÌ ÒRÌṢÀ

I was arrested by the Nigerian Police yesterday.

To be fair to them, they were angry with my new building, the ÀKÒDÌ ÒRÌṢÀ, in Ile Ife. The police landed in trucks, arms, uniforms, and plain clothes to storm the construction site. There were about ten workers at the site when the police came. The previous day when the police arrived the workers fled into the surrounding bushes, abandoning their tools, unused building materials and the entire construction area.

Nigerian Experiences Short Stories

Isn’t it so wonderful to be back home in Nigeria

ByMoyo Okediji June 16, 2018May 21, 2023

Isn’t it so wonderful to be back home in Nigeria, to spend time on the very land in which you grew up, to measure what has remained the same, evaluate the changes, and survey the landscape with an eye irrevocably altered through gazing at other countries and interacting with foreign landscapes?
