a trip down memory lane with Lemi into parts of Nigerian history, the civil war, embracing spirituality, colonialism, building his career, pricing his work, meeting Fela, and many things in between.
First of all, you truly need to have an open mind to sit still during certain conversations, because, your B.S will be questioned and it's left to you to see things for what they are and not what you think they should be.
Secondly, this conversation was unbiased and true. True in the sense of liberty.
I enjoyed listening to Lemi Ghariokwu, it felt like " a sit on the floor, looking up to the elder tell stories kind of scene."
when I started this, I wanted people to have a "fly on the wall" experience while also being part of the conversation. This comment just confirmed that this is happening. Thank you so much for sharing. What parts made you question and reflect on your own beliefs?
I think we can mend our roots by speaking more to people like Lemi and gathering pieces of history for them. The answers are there as long as we are curious enough to find them.
Really enjoyed this conversation. It's so important for us to connect our History dots as that's something we've failed to do in Africa. But I'm excited that these unbranded conversations can reignite those flames and preserve history for the next generations. Well done BA 💚🤍💚
connecting the dots!!! I am so excited that this in some way is helping us find pieces of our history we didn't even know existed. I don't think it is an African thing in general. I think it is first, a Nigerian thing. We definitely passed our history through stories in the past, but now... that culture is shifting, and we need to find ways to document these stories in a way that they'll last and be passed to new generations
I don't think it contradicts. Knowing yourself is a forever journey but as you be in the now to become in the future just be honest about the guiding principles for your decisions. Let them be true to who you are now and who you want to become.
Would be watching this tonight! I heard about him first from your Instagram about 3-4yrs ago. Amazing how his works and thoughts preserve history and emotions. Gotta dive tonight!
Amazing really. Some of his thoughts led me to learn about the specific events he mentioned and made me appreciate his creative ability—his descriptions almost jumped out like a picture to me.
This conversation preserved more gems than I prepared for. Once again, Thank you BA❤️🙌🏾

I pay attention to reaction, it’s a thing for me, I could tell 💯🤗
ouuu what reaction stood out for you?
Forgive my grammar, I meant express ( facially, I interpreted your expression at some point like “ Am I sure, I’m on the right track “ )
Might be wrong but, I got the same feeling personally
It’s so sad 😞 that our roots was tampered with

Thanks, for bringing some, close to us 🙏🏽

I guess, I need some old friends 💯💯
they are worth it!
Damn.. I’m speechless!
It’s important for one to find Thyself 🙏🏽💜👌🏽
Not just find thyself but know thyself.
Hmm,
This contradicts the statement “ Be to Become “
That Means! “ We Where “
Damn
I don't think it contradicts. Knowing yourself is a forever journey but as you be in the now to become in the future just be honest about the guiding principles for your decisions. Let them be true to who you are now and who you want to become.
I get, thanks 🙏🏽
