Interests: 20th century Nigerian history, west African history, religion, nation  building, protest, gender and nationalism.

My focus examines Nigeria's 20th century nation building project,  exploring how  various ethnic groups shaped what would become present day Nigeria. I am also  interested in the protest movements that occurred as a direct result  of this project, specifically focusing on the South South and South-Eastern  region of the nation.
