Ikechukwu Chielo on Culture Cove
On this episode of Culture Cove, our hosts are joined by African book and movie reviewer Anthony Ikechukwu Chielo, also known as IkeGod, for a rich exploration of cultural moments from Africa and beyond.
We begin at the Chinese Cultural Centre in Abuja, where the International Day for Dialogue Among Civilizations brings together vibrant performances and traditions from around the world. Then we move to the 2025 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA), where the “Mother Earth” theme inspired red carpet fashion rooted in nature, mythology, and innovation. Finally, we journey to Igbo-Ora in Oyo State – dubbed the Twins Capital of the World – to uncover the cultural and scientific curiosity behind its extraordinary rate of twin births.
