The Black Paper interview: Oluomo of Derby

In the first of our interview series, we engage in conversation with Benjamin Kuti, a Nigerian social activist popularly known as Oluomo of Derby. Oluomo tells us about his journey from Nigeria to the UK, the importance of integration and cultural identity, and the challenges faced by the Nigerian community in the UK.

Oluomo also emphasises the need for community engagement, the impact of Home Office policies, and the necessity of educating the community about their rights and political participation.

The discussion highlights the importance of unity and the role of individuals in advocating for change within the system.
