Literature PADI is a Nigerian-based digital literary platform that promotes and celebrates African literature through critical analysis, educational resources, and engaging content.
Founded in August 2020 by Ridwan Adédèjì, the platform was born out of a clear purpose, which is to bridge the learning gap in Literature-in-English for secondary school students preparing for SSCE and UTME.
What began as a solution to a neglected subject area in many Nigerian classrooms has grown into a rich and trusted online repository for African literary studies.
In April 2023, Literature PADI surpassed 1 million views on Google Search Console, a pointer to its cummulative growth.
Literature PADI is driven by a mission to deepen appreciation for African literature, making it accessible, engaging, and relevant to students, teachers, scholars, and readers around the world.
Our content spans literary analyses, poem breakdowns, author profiles, and explorations of diverse African literary traditions.
Literature PADI is proudly part of the Owiwi Publishing Network, a growing ecosystem of educational and literary websites designed to inform, empower, and inspire African learners and readers. Other projects under the network include:
- Student PADI – A developing hub for class-based academic resources for secondary school students and teachers
- Lítírésọ̀ Yorùbá – A pioneering initiative profiling Yoruba literature and texts in the Yoruba language
- English PADI (upcoming) – A resource for English Language learning and linguistics
- Livestopedia (upcoming) – A knowledge platform for animal farming and agricultural education in Nigeria
Together, these platforms reflect our broader vision: to create a sustainable African-owned media network that values education, cultural identity, and knowledge sharing.
At Literature PADI, we are proud to serve as your literary companion.
