Uzo Nzeogu, a talented artist who studied Fine and Applied Arts at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka with greats like Bruce Onobrakpeya and El Anatsui seemed all set to claim his place as a fine artist. But then, he did the maths, ditched paint and chose pragmatism.
Pragmatism led him to Newswatch, to Dele Giwa, to Ray Ekpu, to Dan Agbese and to 'the happiest time of my life'. The newsroom rush, the boardroom manoeuvring, the tragic, shocking murder of Dele Giwa, Uzo was in the thick of it.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Pragmatism and paying the bills.
- The halcyon days of Nigerian news magazines.
- There but the love of God and barely dodging the bomb.
- The Nigerian war and PTSD.
- IPOB and the lessons of Rwanda.
- To repatriate or not to, Uzo has a view.
And choosing to ditch the Nigeria project.... and here we agree to disagree.
Nope, no jokes in this episode but Uzo admits to listening to BIL podcast. What a gent!
