Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Tobiloba and I talked about transformative environmental justice in Nigeria, Lekki as prime example of land dispossession in Lagos in the name of capitalist modernism, the challenges that come up in translating and applying current popular Western frameworks of social justice in Nigeria, and why we need more Nigerians, individuals and institutions alike, to fund social research. 🍲01:19 Lekki, Lekki, Lekki07:29 Wetin concern me concern government property?11:56 ‘We were only four in my Landscape Architecture class.’20:54 Landscape for the people by the people29:49 Elsewheres: Transformative environmental justice practices in Nigeria🍲Mentioned:Dispossess: Evictions for ‘Development' (Immaculata for Heinrich Böll Foundation, 2021)Lagos Urban Development Initiative (LUDI) hFactorFabulous UrbanFolu Oyefeso🍲Website: sweetmedicine.me Newsletter: studiostyles.substack.com.Instagram: @ss.studiostylesSupport Sweet Medicine: https://flutterwave.com/donate/olt4tbjytsjr Hosted on Acast.
