MA Journalism | Class of 2026 | University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Truly grateful to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ — my portion, my great help. Indeed, He gets ALL of the glory!

This one took a community — without which it would never have been possible.

Thankful for my Diamond FM family and Apostle Awotuyi — I truly will never forget you..

To an amazing family both home and abroad — incredible immediate family and in-laws who held the fort, with immense support, while I’ve been away. Thank you!

My amazing wife Damilola — I remain grateful to God for you and the peace you bring me and the boys. Love you. Oh, I love you!

My church family- Sower church, friends, radio fans, Mentors and everyone who has silently cheered on. Thank You!

Grateful to the University of Nebraska and the CoJMC leadership and faculty, whose impact has shaped me and whose opportunities helped in this relearning process.

Someone recorded a brief part of my Slam presentation “From Temporal to Timeless” at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Student Research Days Slam.

What’s captured here, is the tail end of that talk with not so clear audio though. by @fto951

News moves fast. But some stories shouldn't have an expiration date. ⏳🌊

Last week I took the stage at the @unlincoln Student Research Days Slam to present "From Temporal to Timeless" — and you know what got the room's attention first? Beyoncé.

The goddess she channeled in Lemonade — dressed in gold, surrounded by water — is Osun. The Yoruba river goddess. Sacred. Revered by millions worldwide.
Her river is dying. Poisoned by illegal gold mining. And my award-winning documentary about it? Faded from public memory within months.
That frustration built the Saving the Osun River Project — a digital archive that keeps the story alive long after the headlines disappear. Because important journalism deserves to outlast the news cycle.

Swipe to see more from an incredible day of research and storytelling.

NICAR Indianapolis 2026 — one week later, still processing.

2nd year at NICAR; still great sessions and better conversations. A timely reminder that data journalism, done with purpose, still has the power to change things.

Thanks to the @unlcojmc & amazing faculty.

Grateful and energized. ✊

One of the best decisions I made in 2025, was getting serious with my fitness journey. Not there yet, but we go again in 2026.

Humbled to see my work featured in The Daily Nebraskan! 📰

“Saving the Osun River” is my Digital Humanities Fellowship project—an interactive digital archive documenting pollution in Nigeria’s Osun River using story maps, timelines, and AI tools.

From broadcast journalist to digital archivist, this journey has shown me how we can make investigative journalism timeless.

Grateful to be UNL’s first journalism DH fellow!

2024: What a year!

Closing out the year with gratitude, appreciation, and awe of God who has done so much for me by giving me favor with him and with men.

Thankful for family, opportunities, and helpers; truly no one attains success without help along the way.

Now thank we our God.

2025, we go again. taken in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA by @fto951
