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.
