A conversation with Umar Turaki on Between the Lines: @nenrota From love and identity to conflict and what it means to be human, the conversation leans into his reflections on Jos—its beauty, its fractures, and the quiet resilience of its people.

If you’re drawn to poetry, lineage, and the stories we carry, this one’s for you. 👉🏾 Watch the full conversation now on YouTube @https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyhG6aLg9qo&t=80s 🎥✨ @ChinuaEzenwa

What does it mean to inherit a name? We sat down with award-winning poet Chinụalụmọgụ Ezenwa-Ọhaeto to dive into The Naming—a journey through memory, migration, and Igbo ways of seeing the world.

Yeah. I am so happy that this is coming out soon. Grateful to @COALNG and @shaanigami for this. I had fun talking about poetry.

We’re so excited to soon share an upcoming conversation with @chinuaezenwa—a thoughtful and lively discussion on his poetry collection The Naming. Stay tuned. #books #africanliterature #poetry #betweendlines
