Ìrìn Àjò Cartoon Exhibition – Sojourn of a Cartoonist at the Cartoon Museum in London

*Immigration remains a significant topic of discussion in Britain, as in other Western countries, frequently serving as a focal point in political discourse and public debate.

Ìrìn Àjò (“Journey” in Yoruba) is a cartoon exhibition by Nigerian artist Samuel Ojo. Through his work, Ojo examines the Black immigrant experience in the UK, addressing themes such as adaptation, resilience, migration, nationality, and identity.

By integrating personal narratives with policy critiques, the project underscores the valuable contributions and cultural connections migrants bring to British society.

Samuel Ojo’s debut solo exhibition features twelve cartoons inspired by his own experiences and those of others.

Hosted at the Cartoon Museum in West London, the exhibition has garnered highly positive responses. Despite the essential role that migrants have played in shaping modern Britain, they often encounter numerous obstacles both prior to and following their arrival. A private viewing for Samuel Ojo’s exhibition was held last week at the Cartoon Museum in West London and was well attended.

The event welcomed a distinguished group of cartoonists, including Nigerian artists Tayo Fatunla, Paul Adams, and Femi Adetunji; Ethiopian cartoonist Alex Tefera; and British cartoonists Steve Marchant, Pete Songi and Jess Judge and invited guests.

Samuel Ojo’s dedication to his craft has been widely acknowledged, with feedback on the exhibition overwhelmingly positive. Having his artwork featured at the renowned Cartoon Museum represents a significant accomplishment in his artistic career.

Ìrìn Àjò  runs until Saturday, 29 November 2025 at The Cartoon Museum, 63, Wells Street, London W1T 3PT, Tel – 02075808155

Nigeria’s President
Financial Times UK wrote that Nigerians have yet to feel the benefit of economic reform following his two years in office, but that President Bola Tinubu should press on hence portrait of Tinubu done in that context. Whether he’ll succeed, remains to be seen as he is trying to heal a sick Nigeria. When there is life there is hope as Nigerians are still praying for a messiah.
