@yarrikamara.bsky.socialScholarship on Nigeria (both its failings and successes) luckily is plentiful. What I rarely come across, however, is comparative scholarship, say comparing Nigeria's historical trajectory to Burkina Faso's to understand why they have produced such different societies.

@yarrikamara.bsky.socialThe PISA study is raising alarm about kids' reading capacities across the world. Here is a societal hero we need to celebrate - a community librarian in Sierra Leone getting kids reading at a time when reading culture in that country is at an all time low.
