The second edition of Hausa International Book and Arts Festival holds in Kaduna and themed ‘Being and Becoming.’

The organisers of the competition would explore language and identity in the African literary space using virtual reality (VR) technology. 

Sada Malumfashi, Curator of the festival, said “Knowledge in the field of Hausa origin has been confronted with missing links or gaps, with very little known about the identity of a Hausa person. What language did the ancestors of the Hausa people speak five thousand years ago? These and many such questions and interceptive queries would be answered in this second edition of the Hausa International Book and Arts Festival (HIBAF22) by linking and connecting arts, language, and identity through analysis of the processes that give birth to experience.”

Malumfashi said the ACP-EU Culture – West Africa Evaluation Committee selected the Hausa International Book and Arts Festival (HIBAF) as one of the 35 winners who will benefit from the Enhancing Culture Fund to enhance the value of cultural and creative content in West Africa, by promoting support for creation and production, image education and the development of means of dissemination and distribution (physical and digital) of cultural goods.

The Hausa International Book and Arts Festival with the theme ‘Being and Becoming’ was selected out of 176 applications from 15 out of 16 countries in West Africa.

The organisers added that the VR experience of the project will include the curated festival experience; a feature documentary on identity and language; a photo essay documenting the vibrant existence of an unbridled literary tradition among women writers writing in Hausa language in northern nigeria.

Lifestyle Nigeria gathered that National Chairman of Labour Party, LP, Comrade Julius Abure, has told the President of the nigeria Labour Congress, Comrade Joe Ajaero not to use the platform, funds and resources of the NLC to pursue his ambition of either becoming the president of the country in 2027 or governor of Imo State.

Abure stated this at Asaba, Delta State on Wednesday while reacting to the shutting down of the Labour Party’s National Headquarters by protesting members of the NLC who demanded for his immediate removal as National Chairman of the party.

He said the “picketing” of the party’s office was politically motivated, describing it as a show of rascality and abuse of office and the laws of the land.

Why I Withdrew From Ondo Guber Race — Eyitayo Jegede

Latest Politics updatein nigeria

Lifestyle Nigeria gathered that the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo state in 2020, Chief Eyitayo Jegede, on Thursday, said he withdrew from the 2024 governorship race to give room for unity and ensure victory for the party in the forthcoming governorship election.

Jegede who noted that disunity has not allowed any candidate from that party to win the governorship race in the state, said he chose to sacrifice his ambition for the development of the party.

This is just as a group within the party, PDP Crusader, hailed the decision of Jegede to step aside in the forthcoming governorship election in the state in order to build a strong and united party that can send the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) packing in the state.

The Coordinator of the PDP Crusader, Hon Mayokun Akinmoladun, said the group was ready to follow and support Jegede in any decision he took on the party’s primary and the November 16 governorship election.

Akinmoladun said the most important thing to the party is to come together and rescue the state, noting that the party was not being run the way it was supposed to be.

He said the party may go into extinction if care is not taken, and commended Jegede for financing the party since it lost the governorship seat some eight years ago.
