WE Speak (Windsor Essex Speaks), is a local podcast network, located in the heart of Ford city at 998 Drouillard Road. Last Sunday, February 10th, using one of the two high tech production studios, the “All Write in Sin City” podcast, which interviews local writers, recorded their second episode featuring Abiola Afolabi, founder and executive director of NCCEEP (Nigerian Canadians for Cultural Education and Economic Progress). During this brief interview, Abiola elaborated on the “Omoluabi” newspaper which is funded by the Ontario government as a “Violence Prevention Campaign Initiative.”

She answered, among other questions, the topics covered in the Omoluabi newspaper, the motives behind the paper’s recent revival, and where the copies can be picked up, citing locations such as Enterprise car Rental, Walmart, Multifood store and gas stations.

The episode also features an engaging discussion with local poet, drummer and activist-Tejai Travis, about his ancestral lineage and the variety of literature he enjoys. The full podcast will be uploaded on wespeak.ca in upcoming weeks.

Jonathan Pinto gets a special preview of this Sunday's Nigerian feast at the Optimist Community Centre

I've never tried Nigerian food. So when I came across a "Taste of Nigeria" meal happening this Sunday in Windsor, I knew I had to find out more.
I got in touch with Angelina Ebegbuzie, the gregarious project manager for a fledgling organization called Nigerian-Canadians for Cultural Educational and Economic Progress (NCCEEP).
She invited me to meet her and a few others from NCCEEP for lunch, where I could get a taste of what will be on offer this weekend.

NCCEEP president Abiola Afolabi was one of the women there. She told me the genesis behind this event is to introduce non-Nigerians to their food.
