Cowboy Snippets: Rem Koolhaas and Kunle Adeyemi in the Guardian (UK)



This is Kunle Adeyemi and Rem Koolhaus talking about Lagos in the 1990s in a feature for the Guardian (UK) that was published 26 February 2016.

Note, how Adeyemi here uses the term 'cowboy' in sense that, at first side, owes little to American Westerns (unlike Sam Omatseye's article that relates 'the cowboy' of movies and TV serials to 'the Fulani herdsmen – inverted commas in both cases because, obviously, we're talking in terms of archetypes here rather than particular people or groups of people in particular films or in real life) but has quite a bit of currency in writing by and about Nigeria.
