The Overton Hygienic Building is one of the most iconic centers that became a springboard for African- American businesses that were facing restrictions and fierce exploitation in the 20th century. The building played an instrumental role including acting as an incubator in nurturing entrepreneurs in Chicago’s African-American community, known as the Black Metropolis. According to the National Park Service, the Overton Hygienic Building was constructed at the dawn of the 20th century in the wake of the racial barriers confronting Black businesses. Entrepreneur Anthony Overton brought the center to realization in 1898 in Kansas City. He relocated to Chicago in…
Nollywood makes more films than Hollywood and Bollywood. What it lacks is strong marketing and promotion. On the set of Black Vampire II. Image credit @rbairdpccam on Flickr CC BY-NC 2.0. Some of Africa’s highest grossing movies are produced in Nigeria’s film industry. In fact, Nollywood, as it is popularly known, is the world’s second biggest filmmaking arena, churning out roughly 50 movies in English and indigenous Nigerian languages every week.

Roger Milla is 70 now and, if that makes those who remember the 1994 World Cup feel old, it also helps illustrate how long African football has seemed to have been waiting for another breakthrough World Cup. Since 1990 when, with Milla a mere 38, Cameroon beat Argentina and reached the quarter-finals, there has been the sense a team from the continent could go further, or several could emerge as challengers.In 2022, when Vincent Aboubakar secured Cameroon’s second greatest win on the global stage by overcoming Brazil, albeit a second-string Selecao, it ended a wretched record for the Indomitable Lions:…
In January 2020, just before the world was thrown into the chaos of the global pandemic, I visited Ghana with my colleagues as part of a five-year transformative leadership programme funded by the Mastercard Foundation and LEAP Africa. While in Cape Coast, one of the coastal regions of Ghana, we visited Cape Coast Castle, an historic hub of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The castle was one of many fortresses near the sea built by the colonial slave traders to foster the illicit trade. I have read and heard many stories of the slave trade in West Africa, but none prepared…
Africa is very diverse in matters of religion. Thus it’s common to hear phrases like: “all religions serve the same God,” and “we all worship God in our own different ways.” Is this true? Is religious pluralism the way forward, the route away from division and conflict? In our desire for tolerance we cannot sacrifice the truth. David Platt, in his book Radical, tells the story of standing outside of a Buddhist temple, in Indonesia. As he stood there, he got into a conversation with two people—a Buddhist leader and a Muslim leader. Both believed that, while there were superficial…
Some stakeholders in the country’s sports have started a campaign for a new leadership for the Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC), which general elections will hold on December 15 in Jalingo, Taraba State. Incumbent NOC President, Habu Gumel, is the longest serving head of the Olympic body, which responsibility is to partly supervise the country’s sports federations and is fully responsible for the coordination of Nigerian competitors at the Olympic, Commonwealth Games and the All Africa Games.
