Eromo Egbejule

Eromo Egbejule is a Nigerian writer, journalist and filmmaker who has been described as "as one of the country’s most important storytellers". He started as a music journalist, writing for local Nigerian papers like The Guardian (Nigeria), ThisDay, NEXT and YNaija. In 2014, he covered the ebola crisis in Liberia for local Nigerian media, but later that year began working as a freelance reporter and stringer for foreign media on music and culture. Since then, he has reported extensively on the Boko Haram insurgency, elections across West Africa, sustainability in the Peruvian Amazon, Sino-African relations in the Horn of Africa and other themes. In a 2017 interview, he is quoted to have said his writing style focuses on 'rotating the cube', rather than recycling reporting tropes on Africa.
His writing and photography have appeared in The Atlantic,The Guardian (UK), Al-Jazeera, New York Times, Financial Times, Washington Post, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Thomson Reuters Foundation, Premium Times, Telegraph (UK), The Times and more. In 2020, he joined OZY as its Africa Editor, just months after leaving his role as West Africa Editor for The Africa Report magazine (2018-2019).
