Insightful piece by Martha Sambe, @OOlakpe, and @rafeeeeta. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ The reference to accounts of a historical custodian highlighted in great detail the strength of infusing indigenous knowledge into socio-legal analysis. Additionally, the piece provides a very pointed analysis of the 'gendered' nature of the forex market in Benin City, Nigeria. What I find most fascinating is the paradox of this market. Though it is chiefly a product of the labour migratory efforts of Nigerian women to Italy and other European countries, even in its current transformation, this โ€˜nicheโ€™ sector is predominantly occupied by men.

I've started mapping out the books publishing next year, and the British-Ghanaians did not come to play.

Right. I've playing this news relatively close to my chest for a while because that's just how I am but also because part of me didn't think it was real. But it is. So here we go. My debut novel "Shigidi" will be published by @dawbooks books next year. penguinrandomhouse.com/booksโ€ฆ
