Musings in the City is a Nigerian storytelling blog and cultural archive spotlighting the country’s rich history, mythology, literature, and arts. From ancestral legends to contemporary reflections, we celebrate Nigeria’s heritage through essays, fiction, and visual storytelling.

We publish original short stories, essays, cultural deep dives, artist spotlights, and modern reflections on Nigerian life. Topics range from ancient gods and pre-colonial kingdoms to modern theater, literature, and urban nightlife.

No. Musings in the City focuses on arts, culture, and heritage. While we occasionally reflect on societal changes, our primary goal is to honor and document Nigeria’s artistic legacy through storytelling, not politics.

Yes. We celebrate Nigerian authors, artists, musicians, and creatives, both legendary and emerging voices. Our platform includes literary reviews, book club discussions, and spotlight features on outstanding artistic work. We also cover Nigerian art exhibitions and will be hosting our own curated exhibitions, that honor our history, heritage, and evolving culture. To stay updated on our exhibitions, book club, and exclusive editorial series, we encourage you to subscribe and join the circle.
