Colossians 3:1–4 There is something about the pace of life that can make eternity feel distant. In a city like Lagos, life moves quickly.

By Nkanu Egbe The National Theatre has seen many reinventions. Once the grandest stage in Lagos — host to heads of state, continental summits, and the full spectacle of Nigerian cultural ambition — the building on Iganmu's waterfront has spent recent decades in a more complicated relationship with its own legend. But on Wednesday 13 May, something fitting will happen inside its reimagined halls.
