Idioms of Ethno-Religious Othering in Northern Nigeria

[Moses Ebe Ochonu]

Here, below, is a link to my piece on how idioms of ethno-religious othering and devaluation are manufactured, reinforced, and mobilized to deepen existing fissures and tensions between ethnic, religious, and sectarian communities in Northern Nigeria.

Oga Obododimma, I no get blog o. I've never warmed up to the idea of having a personal blog. Seems like too much pressure at a time when I'm trying to de-stress my life and reduce my online footprint and the intellectual labor it entails.

Moses:

Some years back, Professor Bolaji Aluko made a case for enacting laws on stereotypes.

I am from Ibadan, and the city takes the lead in receiving negative jokes and stereotypes. The compilation is depressing and I cumulated them into an essay.

The private zone is terrible.

Oga Falola, Ibadan has been supplying Nigeria and Nigerians with a seemingly endless stream of material for comedic relief for years. Lately, with the explosion of the Nigerian online humor skits industry, Ibadan jokes and stereotypes have once again taken center stage.
