Yiiki Bolero Hello my friends. It has been 8weeks since I departed Lagos. I have missed writing you as things have happened so fast and creative work has been so so intense ...... October came with so many mixed feelings. News from the home(Nigeria) About the #endsars protest and  front like everywhere around the world too wasn’t great. Wahala everywhere.  Touring Plans have changed slightly again as lockdown 2.0 hits Europe. This 2020 ehnnnnn.

Thank you

It was an astoundingly exciting and exceptional evening as Irene Tssambedo’s latest choreographic piece was exceptionally performed and amazingly received amidst thunderous applauses and a standing ovation as we took YIIKI AFRICA BOLÉRO’s maiden curtain call in front of a filled to capacity theatre.  I want to say thank you to you my family, friends, and the ensemble of YIIKI for the encouragement and support. It indeed was a stellar performance and I hold cherished memories of this experience.  Another chapter begins on my journey to artistic excellence, as I resume residency here in Ouaga.

Life is a cycle and in the race of life it is not known who wins or loses (until the end of time). So we live in search of freedom, we leave in migration for greener pastures.

The inquest focuses on challenges and experiences associated with the female folks and attempts to offer open ended solutions as inspired by greater women, who excelled in their careers despite t...
