What is modernity in the African context and why does Africa need to be modern? We sat down with the philosopher, Professor Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò for a wide ranging discussion on his book, Africa Must Be Modern.

We also discussed the nature of knowledge and education and the role it can play in a modern Africa. This was quite a deep conversation that left a deep impression on us.

We hope you enjoy it too.
