Ghariokwu Lemi
Lemi Abiodun Ghariokwu was born Emmanuel Sunday on 26 December 1955, in Agege, Lagos. He is from Agbor, Delta State but has
spent all his life in Lagos, Nigeria. He grew up in Igbobi, Fadeyi in Lagos State with his parents and siblings
Lemi and Fela Lemi met Fela Kuti in 1974 through Babatunde Harrison, (a journalist for Sunday Punch). He walked into a pub
and stumbled on an art work Lemi did for the pub owner. He requested to see more and he saw one of the illustrations Lemi did of
Roforofo Fight. This spurred him to take Lemi to meet Fela. On this first meeting, Fela was impressed with Lemi's work and offered
to pay him but he refused the money. This became his ticket into Kalakuta Republic.Lemi's relationship with Fela Anikulapo Kuti was
very cordial. He gave Lemi total freedom with his work and thoughts to the level that he just did as he pleased, albeit responsibly,
with how and what he wanted to express. Lemi had the rare privilege of putting his photograph and comments on some of the covers
and was treated like a son, friend, adviser and comrade by the Afrobeat legend. Ghariokwu's approach to his work with Kuti
involved listening to and digesting the music and then expressing his reaction in his paintings, design and comments which provide a
high level of detail on the many album covers he delivered.
Career Art Lemi's work involves a variety of styles, often using vibrant colors and individuated typefaces of his own design. His
art is said to be rebellious, comical, political, even erotic but most of all he is a genius in pictorial narration, realism and iconicity.

Many of Ghariokwu's cover images echo and sometimes comment on the work and politics of the recordings that they accompany,
serving a consciously integrated meta-textual function. He is famous for his captivating and intricate record sleeves designs and he

Segun Aiyesan
I was born in Benin City, Nigeria on March 18 1971. The second child among seven children. I
guess I was born an artist. My fascination with nature and colours started quite early. I can recall
myself fiddling with drawings and paints as early as four years old. As a young boy, my favourite
hobby was collecting comics and trying to draw the characters. I cannot remember my parents
