Njideka Akunyili-Crosby, a painter and daughter of the late Nigerian minister, Dora Akunyili, has been awarded the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship. Ms. Akunyili-Crosby was described by the foundation as “a figurative painter whose large-scale works express the hybridity characteristic of transnational experience through choices of subject matter, materials, and techniques.” The fellowship, which is also referred to as the Genius Grant, awards $625,000 to artists, writers, teachers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and people from all works of life, that have shown exceptional creativity. The grant is doled out in quarterly installments, made over a period of five years. Amongst past recipients is writer Chimamanda Adichie who received the grant in 2008. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/entertainment/artsbooks/245778-nigerian-painter-awarded-625000-macarthur-fellowship-genius-grant.html/amp |

I thought 'ibos are gullible and unintelligent" according to the gospel of the quota system abokkkis and their ewedurudeen lackeys who believe that the smartest thing to do was to vote a redundant, bigotted, illiterate and murderous dullard who would make 1$ = 1 Naira. 2 Likes |
