I'm so excited to finally share that my profile of King Sunny Ade is featured in The Custodian, Issue 2: Good People, Great Nation? It's such a joy to see this piece out in the world.
At its heart, this issue asks a question I think many of us have wrestled with: what does it mean to be good people in a country as complicated as Nigeria, and what does it take to build a great nation? It's a conversation worth having, and I'm glad my work is part of it.
The Custodian, Issue 2, is OUT NOW in print! Head to @takingCustody in bio to get a copy.

Culture Custodian, thanks for confirmimg the rumours that you cannot objectively comment on the art without bias, i might not agree with SVs antics on social media but to disparage his art based off that sentiment breaks the number one rule of journalism. Your job is to offer commentary on the culture and not be partisan @takingCustody
