Dr. Dayo Oluyemi-Kusa speaking on the theme: 'Celebrating our togetherness'
L-R: Ms. Novo Isioro discussing with Dr. Dayo Oluyemi-Kusa. Novo took Dayo on a guided tour of the gallery.
I like to see young Nigerians doing innovative things! Ms. Novo Isioro (Founder/Curator ANiSZA Foundation), transformed disused cabins into a photo gallery that tells the story of Nigeria. She conceptualised telling the history of Nigeria in pictures. Lest I forget, she was the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo's official photographer for his first term (2015-2019). ANiSZA's photo exhibition is now a yearly event. The maiden edition was held last year, with the VP in attendance.
At least more than 200 students were in attendance at this year's event! They came to learn about the history of their country via pics. They also learnt from experienced panelists who explained project Nigeria to them. It is instructive that I was the only panelist born before independence. I told them about the Nigeria I grew up in, and they were able to compare with the Nigeria they know.
Novo with some of the students @ the event
The following things I told the young persons in the audience about the Nigeria in which I grew up intrigued them:
*We were given nutritious lunch daily in my Primary School, Government Demonstration School, Gbaja, Surulere, Lagos (a public school). Powdered milk was never in short supply daily.
*It was very safe for young children to commute to and from school without an iota of fear of being kidnapped or molested on the way.
*There was nothing like insurgency, rural banditry, Niger Delta crisis, etc.
*To us kids, at that time, it didn't matter where you came from, we were ALL Nigerians.
*An adult neighbour could correct and even punish you for an offence before your parents' arrival and as such elicit praise and thanks from your mom and dad.
*I was never a JAMBITE. I wrote entrance exam into each University of my choice. I got admission to each University SEPARATELY and decided to attend University of Ife in 1975. I graduated in 1980 with a Second Class Upper Division (Political Science).
*Before I graduated, I had secured employment in at least three blue chip companies viz; Lever Bros. Nigeria Ltd (Unilever), PZ and Cadbury. All these companies came to interview us in my final year at the University of Ife! I rejected ALL the employment offers because I wanted to pursue my Master's Degree at the University of Lagos in Political Science, which I completed in 1982.
The above were novel as far as the young members of my audience were concerned. They wanted to hear more! I told them all was not lost. The Nigeria of tomorrow is to be shaped by them and their unborn children. They were told to obtain their Permanent Voter's Cards once they clock 18 years of age so they could determine who 'governs' them.
Novo explaining the essence of a photo (showing Nigeria's founding fathers) to Dayo.
After the first session, where the panel discussed the strength in our diversity, there was a second session which comprised a fashion show that depicted what's typical of each of the six geo-political zones. Then there was 'performance poetry' (spoken word) - all eliciting positive narratives about Nigeria. Yummy! Yummy! came next - Opportunity to taste food from the six geo-political zones. The food was sumptuous...I could not have thought of anything better to do on Independence day than to give hope to the next generation of Nigerians.
Kudos to Novo and her formidable team for this laudable venture! Many Nigerians below 40 have no idea about many events in the country before they were born. With innovations like this, the story is likely to change for the better...
