I am a master’s student in the Department of History at Concordia University. Born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, I completed my undergraduate degree at Lagos State University, Nigeria, where I studied History and International Studies. Thematically, I am interested in urban history and African history. My research activities revolve around how colonialism shaped the trajectory of African cities and how it informed urban planning, culture, and intergroup relations in the urban space. Additionally, I love reading about Afrobeats, African music, informal cross-border trades, transnational identity, contemporary African politics, and the politics of climate change.
