THE MBARI CLUB

In the year 1961, in an old Lebanese restaurant at Dugbe market in Ibadan, a bunch of writers and visual artists, came together and founded what came to be known as the Mbari Club. The club was founded with the help of Ulli Beier, a teacher at the University of Ibadan.

The philosophy of the Mbari Club was that the arts operate from the centre of the culture, and is located in its historical heritage and traditional values which educate the masses and reflect the society’s values.

Mbari became a major confluence for Nigerian artists, but also attracted artists from across Africa. The club was so prestigious, it had the best artists in Nigeria as members – the likes of Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Christopher Okigbo, Demas Nwoko, John P. Clark etc.

At Mbari, open air performances were done by artists, there was a gallery where painters and sculptors exhibited their works and there was a library. Visual Arts giants like Yusuf Grillo, Bruce Onabrakpeya frequented the club and showcased their works.

The Premieres of Wole Soyinka’s “the Trial of brother Jero and JP Clark’s “Song of a goat” were staged at Mbari. It was also at Mbari that renowned Nigerian Singer, composer and activist, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti made his debut as a bandleader.

In its days, Mbari was host to internationally renowned artists like US poet Langston Hughes, and Jacob Lawrence, possibly the most widely acclaimed African American artist of the last century to either play or exhibit their works.

Ulli Beier, the German scholar who had helped the artists establish the club, began publishing the “Black Orpheus” literary magazine. At the time, the magazine was a platform for African writers to have their stories published without having to wait for journals in the UK or US.

Mbari was considered to be the only Africa-based publisher publishing titles by African authors like JP Clark, Wole Soyinka and Christopher Okigbo.

Mbari became the home for art, and the exhibition of the talent of the African continent and the new born Nation, Nigeria by giving visibility to the artists. Unfortunately, the breakout of the Civil war in 1967 interrupted probably the most successful movement of artists in Africa and the diaspora.

As Yorubas we must look to the future through the lens of history, examine the mistakes of the people before us, sieve out their wrongs and revolutionise the good.

As against popular belief that the Ijaw man, Isaac Adaka Boro, was the first secessionist in the history of Nigeria.

New reports revealed that this Yorùbá man in the picture, Modiyu Adeniyi Osinowo is infact the first man to declare an Independent Yorùbá Nation. Modiyu was provoked by the shabby treatment meted on Chief Obafemi Awolowo by the Fulani-led federal Government.

Modiyu who at that time was a 27 years old primary school headmaster led a one man campaign on Independence Day, October 1st 1960, calling for the immediate withdrawal of Yorùbá people. In his words, Modiyu said; “Let’s have our own Pakistan. If they could rubbish Awo like this, sooner or later, they will be defecating on our heads... let’s have our own Sovereignty”.

Modiyu was assassinated 5 years later, his death was never reported or recorded. Not much is known about him or his family or the life he lived before then. Modiyu was competely erased.

Egúngún láti ìlú Ẹdẹ ní ọdún 1970.

Eliot Elisofon lọ́ ni àwòrán yìí.

We must note the significance of this picture in the face of history and the future ahead. As per Wikipedia: Ẹdẹ is a predominantly Muslim town with about 60% of the population. This can be traced back to 19th century during the reign of Timi Abibu Lagunju as the king of Ẹdẹ, who is the first Muslim Oba in Yorubaland given the fact that he was already on the throne for a few years when in November 1857, the Baptist missionary W. H. Clark visited Ẹdẹ. Clarke recorded thus: “This young follower of the Prophet (Prophet Muhammad), a short time since became the ruler of this town in the place of his father (Oduniyi), the deceased, and brings with him into office, the influence of his new religion (Islam).”

Fast forward to 1970’s we still enjoy enough tolerance for our tradition and cultures to thrive. What has happened to us ọmọ oótù òjíre? kíní dé tí àṣà wa kò wá jọwá lọ́jú ní òde òní?

Lucumí vs Yorùbá pronunciation Lucumí is considered a spiritual language in the Afro-Cuban and Afro-Brazilian communities who practice the Santeria religion. The religion itself is a blend of traditional religion and Roman Catholicism. Just like the Yoruba traditional beliefs, Santería teaches the existence of a transcendent creator divinity called Olodumare, under whom are spirits known as oricha/orixa/orishas. For you to join the religion you have to go through the initiation process and offer fruits, flowers and make sacrifice to the orishas. One of the most prominent orisha amongst the Santeria practitioners is Eleguá, also known as Eshu Elegbara. Worshippers usually keep a small cement heads with cowries in their homes to represent this orisha. Being able to speak the Lucumi language is considered a very strong spiritual gift. One would agree : this is synonymous to being able to Speak in tongues or memorize the Koran in the Christianity and Islamic community respectively. #yorubablog
