About Our Guest Lecturer

Aziz Fall is an independent researcher in African studies focusing on pre-colonial West Africa and its wider connections to Classical African Civilizations through language and culture.

Living between Senegal, West Africa, and the U.S., Aziz is particularly interested in N. West Atlantic languages, Coptic, and the Medu Netcher. Aziz attended college at Kent State University with a focus on language studies, he has also studied the Egyptian Hieroglyphs under the tutelage of Seba Wujau Iry Maat at Seshew Maa ny Medew Netcher and continues to be a life long student of the language.

Through his MADDU initiative, and from having a background in the arts, entrepreneurship, and community organizing, he has also been interested in finding creative ways to engage the larger community through popular media as well as in-person workshops with scholarship centered on classical African history and culture.

A nation sits on edge, its nerves stretched thin by fear, uncertainty, and questions that refuse to go away.

Chief Tola Adeniyi speaks with the weight of experience of a man who has watched Nigeria evolve through its most defining moments. His voice is critical, it is alarmed. He points to what he believes is a dangerous trajectory, accusing those in power of fueling the very insecurity that now grips the country.

From the rise of banditry to the deep fractures within the Nigerian state, he paints a picture of a system under strain. But beyond the accusations lies something penetrating, a philosophical reflection on Nigeria itself. Can a nation survive when its structure works against its own people? Can a country stand when its foundation is contested?

Tola Adeniyi is a former Editor-in-chief of the Daily Times and Tribune newspapers.

In Nigeria, ethnicity did not merely emerge as an identity—it evolved into a currency of power. Renowned historian Professor Toyin Falola, University Distinguished Teaching Professor and holder of the Frances and Jacob Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities at The University of Texas at Austin, looks at how ethnic belonging was transformed from a marker of culture into a political weapon within the Nigerian state.To order Falola’s books, visit udarabooks.com Or chat with Udara Books on WhatsApp: +2348099918449

There are moments in history when a people decide they have had enough. Moments when silence becomes betrayal, and fear gives way to fire.

Chief Tola Adeniyi, former Editor-in-chief of the Tribune takes us back to one of those moments, the dark, combustible days of 1965 in Nigeria’s Western Region. A time when politics lost its soul, elections were twisted, and the will of the people was trampled under the weight of power. The result was chaos. Streets burned. Trust collapsed. A nation trembled.

It was called “Operation Wetie”—a phrase that is a warning bell across generations.

With the burden of memory, Adeniyi draws a chilling line between that past and the present. He reflects on the patterns of power, the dangers of electoral manipulation, and the fragile line between order and anarchy. In his view, history is watching for an opportunity to repeat itself.

As Nigeria moves under the leadership of Bola Tinubu, he raises a question that refuses to go away: are we learning from history, or are we rehearsing it?

Insecurity Spins out of Control in Nigeria and Buhari laments.

Why Nigerians oppose a Tinubu second term? This is the evidence dossier.

On April 11, 2026, Nigeria's Sanctions Committee published the names of 48 people and companies it says are funding the terrorist groups in Nigerian — but the country has done this before, and almost nothing has happened to the people on the previous lists. So what is the government playing at?

Tinubu has repeatedly promised to keep Nigeria and Nigerians safe but insecurity seems to be getting worse. Can his government still protect the lives of Nigerians?
