The best way to listen to Book of the Month LIVE is in our app. Author Chioma Okereke stopped by our headquarters to talk about the inspiration for—and meaning of—her new book, Water Baby. From the cooking show that sparked her initial curiosity, to the eventual organization she founded to support women and girls in Makoko, she spared no detail about how she brought her book to life. Nineteen-year-old Baby has lived in Makoko, the floating slum off mainland Lagos, Nigeria, her whole life. When a video of her goes viral and she gets an opportunity to shape a different future for herself, she's forced to decide whether life beyond the lagoon is what she truly wants.

In this episode, we sit down with Diji Aderogba, a pioneering Nigerian filmmaker known for his powerful, thought-provoking narratives. Since his filmmaking journey began in 2016, after graduating from the Mainframe Film and Media Institute, Diji has been dedicated to bringing social consciousness to the big screen. Under the mentorship of African cinema legend Tunde Kelani, Diji learned that film is more than just entertainment—it's a mirror reflecting society's struggles and strengths. His breakout documentary 'Hidden Euphoria', which was nominated for an AMVCA award in 2020, captures the often-unseen resilience of Nigeria's Makoko community. This film marked the beginning of Diji's mission to tell the stories that matter.Diji's storytelling prowess continued to blossom in 2021 with the release of 'About a Boy', his debut feature film that won the Audience Choice Award at Nollywood Week in Paris. In this psychological thriller, Diji explores complex human emotions and mental health—a theme that resonates deeply with audiences who seek connection and understanding through cinema. For Diji, 'About a Boy' is a journey into the minds of people who battle inner turmoil, and his hope is that viewers come away feeling seen and perhaps even inspired to seek healing. He shares with us the challenges and triumphs of bringing this story to life, alongside his passion for using film as a voice for the voiceless.Beyond film, Diji has embraced social media to amplify his work and connect with his audience. He's not only a storyteller but also a brand influencer, blending his skills in street photography and digital marketing. His collaboration with Infinix, a popular smartphone brand, started from a simple tweet expressing his interest in working with a mobile phone company. A few retweets later, Diji had his partnership with Infinix, showcasing his keen eye for visual art in a way that bridges film and digital media. We delve into how he uses his platform to not just promote his work but also to inspire other young creatives who may be looking for unconventional ways to share their art.In our conversation, Diji reflects on the importance of his roots in Abeokuta, his artistic influences from childhood, and the role of culture in his work. His recent web series, *When Are We Getting Married?*, produced by #Filmtrybe, delves into modern relationships, sparking debates around marriage, partnership, and compromise. Diji shares the excitement of collaborating with writer Ife Olujuyigbe, whose script brings relatable, raw conversations to life on screen. Together, they've created a show that encourages viewers to question their own beliefs and societal norms. Join us as we explore Diji's journey, his vision, and the power of conscious filmmaking in today's world.Support the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

Chioma Okereke's writing career started as a performance poet, even though she was terrified of performing poetry. From there she wrote short fiction, and was a highly placed runner up in the Costa Short Story Award, for 'Trompette de la Mort'. Her move into long-form began with her debut 'Bitter Leaf', which was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writer's Prize. Her new novel is 'Water Baby', which looks at a 19 year old woman trying to escape her community in Makoko in Lagos, Nigeria. It explores the themes of education, digitalisation, and the representation of Africa. Her research for the novel prompted her to start a charity, 'Makoko Pearls', which is a direct and safe way to financially support the community.We discuss why it was inspired by her wandering thoughts during a cooking show, also how she researched the location, which is so vital to the plot, without going there for a while. You can hear why living around the world has influenced her reason to write stories, how changing her plotting method has helped her 2nd novel, and find out why you can accept that some days are simply bad.You can hear why her desk is always messy, how performing poetry affected how she viewed novels, and what she does when facing a creative block.Support the show at patreon.com/writersroutine@writerspodwritersroutine.com Hosted on Acast.

Ebenezer Olamiposi Adeyemi is a PhD Candidate in the department of anthropology at the University of Iowa (UI), under the advisement of Professor Ted Powers. Ebenezer holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology and a Master's degree in Peace and Conflict Studies -- both from the University of Ibadan in Nigeria. He also received a Master's degree in Anthropology from the University of Iowa in May 2021. Ebenezer's broad research interests center around medical anthropology, infrastructure, the intersection of urban landscape and public health, African studies, and survival strategies in marginalized urban communities. For his ongoing doctoral research, Ebenezer is exploring the strategies that residents of Makoko, a large informal settlement characterized by inadequate public infrastructure, including waste disposal systems, public hospital, in Lagos State, Nigeria, use to access healthcare to treat malaria, the most prominent public health issue in their community. Different statistics show that malaria is the main public health issue in Nigeria, where it accounts for more causes of death than any other country in the world. However, people who live in marginalized communities, which the WHO calls 'malaria high transmission areas,' are more susceptible to malaria infection and death due to government marginalization and inadequate public infrastructure, including public hospitals. Adeyemi will explore the concept of "community-developed infrastructure" to explain several ingenious approaches, including the production of locally-made mosquito nets and coils, construction of makeshift waste disposal systems and hospitals, that residents of Makoko employ to reduce their exposure to malaria-causing mosquitos and to treat the disease whenever they are infected.

Sea levels are rising – and the United States has a lot to learn from countries that are already adapting. Reporter Shola Lawal of the podcast Threshold explores how two communities in Nigeria are dealing with it.  Lagos, the booming coastal city of Nigeria, is growing even as rising water levels threaten its future. Lawal visits the informal community of Makoko, where people have learned to live with water: Many homes are built on stilts. In a community where many people make a living fishing, small houses rise above the water, vendors sell vegetables and goods from floating markets, and locals ferry people to destinations in canoes. A lack of dry land has forced residents to innovate in creative ways. But the government has threatened to destroy Makoko, declaring the neighborhood an eyesore.   Next, Lawal visits Eko Atlantic City, an “ultra-modern” luxury city that a development company is building on sand dredged up from the ocean floor. In contrast to the scrappy adaptations Makoko residents have made to live on water, the million-dollar apartments of Eko Atlantic are protected by an enormous seawall.  Each year, global leaders gather to discuss the climate crisis at COP, the United Nations climate conference. Threshold Executive Producer Amy Martin talks with Reveal host Al Letson about this year's COP27. While nearly every country on the planet attends these annual conferences, a much smaller number – about 20 economies – are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions. That's left more vulnerable countries asking – what are the richest countries going to do to pay for the damage they've caused?  Support Reveal's journalism at Revealnews.org/donatenow Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at Revealnews.org/weekly Connect with us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram

Do you know that there are over 300,000 children in Makoko who do not have access to formal education?

One of the most challenging aspects of the climate crisis is that we have to do everything at once - transition the entire global economy away from fossil fuels AND deal with the warming that's already happening. In climate-speak, these two things are called mitigation and adaptation, and one of the places where you can see this playing out is Lagos, the largest city in Nigeria and one of the most important ports in Africa. It's a city that's flourishing and also one that is facing a huge problem as the world warms and the ocean encroaches.  This is Threshold Season 4: “Time to 1.5.” In this episode, we pay a visit to two communities in Lagos, just a few miles apart, responding to climate change in very different ways. This work depends on people who believe in it and choose to support it. People like you. Join our community at thresholdpodcast.org

„In einer globalisierten Welt geht es mich genauso viel an, was eine Frau in Makoko macht, wie das, was die Nachbarin in Stuttgart tut.“ Die Architektur-Professorin Fabienne Hoelzel erforscht Systeme und weiß, dass unsere Entwicklung hierzulande nicht unbedingt als Vorbild dient für die Stadtplanung im globalen Süden. Werden wir irgendwann davon wegkommen zu glauben, dass wir anderen die Welt erklären können? Vielleicht sind die vermeintlich weniger entwickelten Länder ja schon weiter als wir.

L’ironie de cette histoire est que les avancées de cette musique à l’étranger, étaient inversement proportionnelles à la bonne santé de l’économie dans les 2 Congo. Tout comme les canaris dans la mine de charbon dont le silence préfigure le désastre, l’exil des musiciens congolais présageait le chaos dans lequel plongeront les deux Congo dans la décennie 1990. Mais était-ce bien une surprise que la migration des musiciens congolais puisse servir d’alerte ? pas vraiment car la musique congolaise elle-même est le produit de nombreux bouleversements qui ont englouti l’Afrique centrale durant des centaines d’années. Le grand Manu Dibango disait d’ailleurs que « La musique africaine était et reste une musique de rencontres, en cela réside son pouvoir attractif » Manu a toujours raison lol

Niemand weiß, wie viele Menschen in Nigerias größtem Slum Makoko leben. Die Organisation "Code for Africa" will mit Open-Source-Technologie eine erste Karte des Gebiets erstellen: Als Grundlage für bessere Infrastruktur.

It’s not known exactly how many people live in Makoko, a slum in the Nigerian city of Lagos. The Code for Africa initiative hopes to use open-source technology to map Makoko with the aim of improving its infrastructure.

Outlook’s Abdulmalik Fahd undertakes a challenge: to travel around Lagos by car and canoe to record four interviewees in one day. First stop a police station, to talk to Celestina Nwankwo Kalu, the police officer who helped save Friday Ajobor, a gun attack victim, and who now calls him her son. Next, a voyage into the floating neighbourhood of Makoko – one of the biggest slums in the city – to meet Abigail Mpke, the make-up artist mapping her neighbourhood. Then on to a busy market to meet Ernestina Okwuchukwu, aka Madame Burgess. She was left with nothing but a new-born baby when her husband died, but her determination to feed her young family and talent for the Lagos hustle led her to become a top car tyre salesman in the area. And finally, we hear from Opemipo Kehinde and… Opemipo Kehinde. Now husband and wife, they tell us how their love story started on the streets of Lagos, during an evening commute.

Makoko is a floating slum in Lagos with a lawless reputation. BBC Pidgin's Dan Ikpoyi has been a victim of extortion there himself, but his latest video shows a community full of life and optimism. (Image: Makoko floating slum in Lagos. Credit: BBC)

Stories of social change in the emerging world tend to involve new and exciting ideas, bold visions, and innovation. But sometimes there's a disconnect between how a project is shown to the outside world — through press, fundraising, accolades — and how it actually functions on the ground. Like in the case of the Makoko Floating school in Lagos, Nigeria. Makoko is a massive slum built along the Lagos lagoon — many of its houses are on stilts, and canoe taxis are common. When a school there needed an extension, Nigerian architect Kunlé Adeyemi got involved and designed a radical new structure that would float on the water and shift with the fluid environment. The design was internationally lauded and made Adeyemi a star. But the school itself was a disaster. In a recent piece for the Atavist Magazine, Lagos-based journalist Allyn Gaestel (@AllynGaestel) investigates the dramatic rise and fall of the Makoko Floating School. As she writes, it's a story “about the myths that people want to believe about the world, noble intentions sullied by ego or derailed by the mundane, the intractability of parochial politics, and the ethics of social experimentation.” Producer Meara Sharma talked with Allyn about the fate of the school and the flawed narratives that often shape development projects and reporting on the emerging world. Allyn Gaestel's piece for The Atavist Magazine is called "Things Fall Apart." Here's a link: https://magazine.atavist.com/things-fall-apart-makoko-floating-school

Five of the Solomon Islands have disappeared, many more are becoming uninhabitable. For Kerry and Sally, climate change is not a theory - it is what has made them abandon their island and the graves of their ancestors. They see themselves as lucky - they had family land to move to and the skills to build new homes on stilts - but they are resigned to moving again. Award-winning journalist Didi Akinyelure visits her home city of Lagos to find out the latest solution to sea level rise in West Africa. The glass towers of the new financial district of Eko Atlantic are protected from the waves by state of the art sea defences. The residents of the luxury apartments should keep their feet dry whatever the climate throws at them. That may be small comfort for their unprotected neighbours in the shanty town on the lagoon, Makoko, but they're experts in survival against the odds. (Photo: The sea encroaches on a tropical island.

Om världens slumområden, där det idag bor över en miljard människor. I megastäderna vill man riva problemen med fattigdom, ohälsa och kriminalitet. Men kan man verkligen bygga bort ojämlikhet? Reportage från Lagos flytande kåkstad som nu sågas ner, hus för hus. Och följ med till Mumbai, där misären blivit turistattraktion. Dharavi, mitt i Indiens kommersiella centrum Mumbai, är Asiens största slum. Där bor över en miljon människor under omständigheter som på många sätt är omänskliga. Men trots det söker sig hela tiden nya migranter från Indiens landsbygd dit. Det beror på att Dharavi erbjuder en väg för fattiga människor att ta del av Mumbais ekonomiska möjligheter som inte går att nå på andra sätt. Med tiden har slumområden som Dharavi kommit att bli en integrerad del av Mumbais ekonomi. Konflikts Daniela Marquardt gick tillsamman med  Lotten Collin på en guidad tur genom Dharavis trånga gränder. En annan megastad som på många sätt är sinnebilden av helt okontrollerad urbanisering är Lagos, Nigerias största stad. Där ligger slumområdet Makoko, som till stor del är byggd på vatten i den stora lagun som delar Lagos. Men Makoko är hotat – nyligen sågades 400 bostäder ned av polisen. Konflikts Lotten Collin tog båten ut till Makoko. Men vad är då framtiden för megastäder som Lagos och Mumbai, och deras ständigt växande slumområden? Är det kaos och kollaps? Eller finns det en annan väg framåt? En person som ägnat mycket tid åt att forska och fundera på detta är antropologen och statsvetaren Janice Perlman, chef för tankesmedjan Megacities. Hon har nära studerat slumoråden – eller squatter settlements, ungefär informella bosättningar, som hon föredrar att kalla dom – sen slutet av 60-talet, framförallt i Rio de Janeiro i Brasilien. Janice Perlman berättade för Konflikts Ivar Ekman att den rika eliten i städerna ofta ser slummen som ett slags sår, ett sår som måste skäras bort. Gäst i studion för att diskutera dessa frågor är Maria Lantz, rektor för Konstfack och tidigare ansvarig för ett stort konstprojekt vars syfte var att i detalj dokumentera livet i Dharavi.
