Ilorin: Afonja, Alimi & The Rise of the Emirate

Afonja, the fearless Aare Ona Kakanfo, guarded Ilorin — a land of iron and promise. But Alimi’s betrayal birthed an Emirate that still reigns — a tale of power, destiny, and broken trust.

A Piece of History, Hanging in My Home

The Benin 1897 art collection from Story Arena is more than just decor — it’s a reclaimed voice. Each piece echoes resistance, royalty, and stolen legacy. I’ve had guests pause, reflect, and ask questions — exactly what true art should do
