Everywhere you look on social media, there are content creators teaching one skill or subject after another. YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and even TikTok all have influencers who, having knowledge in these areas themselves, create bite sized, fun and accessible content for a wider audience.

Yet, as content creation reshapes how we learn, a divide has emerged. Some highly credentialed individuals have crowned themselves as “gatekeepers of knowledge”, dismissing innovative, approachable methods of teaching. Nigerian languages, English language, Photography, etc are some examples of the subjects that readily come to mind.

Here’s the truth though: simplifying knowledge doesn’t weaken it—it amplifies it. These engaging approaches bring opportunities to those who might not otherwise have access, offering learning that is relatable and empowering.

I believe that there’s room for both deep, structured teaching and light, engaging content and it’s important to celebrate everyone who spreads knowledge without gatekeeping.

How do you feel about making knowledge accessible? Do you think there’s a disadvantage to this? Let’s discuss in the comments below!

The pride! The joy!

Yesterday, we celebrated Literacy Day with a cheque presentation ceremony for the winners of the Arike Tejuoso Writing Competition at the Ibadan Literacy Hub. The atmosphere was electric—parents couldn’t hide their excitement, and the winners were absolutely elated!

Mrs Adejoke Oyekan’s keynote speech on “Changing the World with the Power of Writing” truly resonated with everyone present, inspiring us to think about the impact of our words.

The highlight of the event? When offered the overall winner a publishing deal! His reaction was priceless—pure ecstasy!

This day was a reminder of the power of words, the importance of nurturing young writers, and the boundless potential in every story told.

Let’s continue to support and celebrate literacy and creativity in our communities.
