What makes a design truly Nigerian?
After spending more than two decades studying, teaching, and practising design in Ife at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Wole Oyeniyi has developed a unique perspective on creativity, cultural identity, branding, and the future of design.
In this episode of Amazing Exploits, Wole reflects on how Nigeria's visual culture has been shaped by history, why many of our design influences are borrowed, and what still makes Nigerian design uniquely our own. He also shares practical insights on improving design education, preserving cultural heritage, building meaningful brands, and preparing for an AI-driven future.
Whether you're a design student, creative professional, founder, educator, or simply curious about the relationship between culture and creativity, this conversation will challenge how you think about design—and the role it plays in shaping identity.
