The Naija Way is a bi-weekly newsletter that decodes all aspects of Nigerian pop culture from fashion, film, music, sports and more. It is culture decoded. It was founded by Ayomide Tayo.

OG before IG? Oh yes! Ayomide Tayo possesses a wealth of knowledge about Nigerian culture especially music. He brings this wealth into perspective in his writing. Commentary, expansive essay or listicle--you part ways with his sentences, feeling impacted and more importantly, enlightened.
