The Guardian has featured The 419 exhibition by Inua Ellams & Oluwamuyiwa ‘Logor’ Logo, exploring Lagos, 419 culture & money. Free to attend at West Wing Gallery, Somerset House, 9–14 Sept. Read the article here: www.theguardian.com/artanddesign... #The419 #FreeExhibition #SomersetHouse
Screengrab of Guardian article, featuring image: Real-life … a construction worker from The 419. Photograph: Oluwamuyiwa ‘Logor’ Logo.

Caption of the article: ‘Beware of 419!’: how a playwright delved into Nigerian scams – and what it taught him about money. When Inua Ellams, writer of Barber Shop Chronicles, went to Lagos, he became aware of how much fraud suffused the city – so he decided to tell the story of its cons.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 23/07/2025
The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood. There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.
Statement from the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan that reads: 'The absolutely harrowing scenes of suffering in Gaza are being made worse by the day, with no sign of the crisis abating. Starving children searching hopelessly for food in the rubble. Family members shot dead by Israeli soldiers as they search for aid. In heartbreaking scenes, innocent lives are being torn apart before the eyes of the world.
 
The international community - including our own government - must do far more to pressure the Israeli government to stop this horrific, senseless killing and let vital life-saving aid in. Nothing justifies the actions of the Israeli government.
 
The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood. There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.'
