As someone who has always stood on the ground of not having kids, ppl said to wait till 30 I will crave it. Turned 30 a few days ago, I’m still not feeling like I need a child in my life, maybe the hunger for it will increase when I turn 35 😆
I’ve spent the past couple of weeks building Looters: a public archive of Nigerian political corruption since the 1990s.
Governors, ministers, shell companies, Swiss accounts, the Jersey trusts, — one searchable graph.
You too can connect the dots: https://t.co/faIfzWfAIp
"We need to be very careful about xenophobia... We need to understand that South Africa does not have a xenophobia problem... We have a Afrophobia problem."
Political analyst Pieter Kriel says attacks on African migrants in South Africa reflect afrophobia, driven by migration and economic pressures.

Cutting - preserves cell structure (intense and sharp heat)
Mortar and pestle - crushes cells to release essential oils and utilizes the presence of biofilm for depth.
All of you GenZ’s and unlearned millennials that clown Nigeria asking mockingly “why are we even called Giant of Africa, self?” this is why!
In the 60s-90s, Nigeria was literally Africa’s sugar daddy, $20m here, $10m there, and so on and so forth to other African countries! we didn’t only talk about Pan-Africanism we put our money where our mouth was.
Also, at independence, many African countries didn’t have as many educated professionals as Nigeria. In a lot of African countries that gained independence after us from 1963 onwards, the first chief justice, auditor general, surgeon general, vice chancellors of universities were all Nigerians! The first black chief justice of Botswana was Akinola Aguda, the first black chief justice of Gambia was Emmanuel Ayoola, when the portuguese left Mozambique in the 70s Nigerian health care officers (doctors and nurses) were sent to shore up their healthcare system from collapse bcos they just didn’t have enough qualified doctors. after all said and done we sent over 10,000 professionals across africa and the carribeans to help them incubate their newly independent nations
should we even talk about the ECOMOG troops in the 90s that 70% majorly funded (spent over $3b+) and equipped by Nigeria with Nigerian soldiers forming 75% of the peacekeeping force? ECOMOG led by us was highly responsible for ending the Liberian and Sierra Leonean civil wars.
I won’t even go into details of what Nigeria contributed to the South African anti-apartheid efforts!
Nigeria gave and gave and forgot to pay attention to its own development and today we’ve become the pariah amongst nations!
People think that art can stand alone from its creator but where is the art coming from?
U are consuming their happiness,sadness,anger,fear,pain,etc so imagine art made by a schizophrenic or heartbroken person, won’t it show in their art?🤔
There are Ghanaian engineers at NASA.
Ghanaian surgeons running hospital departments in London.
Ghanaian economists at the IMF and World Bank, some of them administering the very programs that have failed their home country.
Ghanaian mathematicians. Ghanaian architects. Ghanaian writers who have won international literary prizes.
Ghanaian tech entrepreneurs building companies that work.
When given access to resources, institutions, and an enabling environment, Ghanaians perform at the highest levels of every field.
This is not an argument that individual talent solves structural problems.
It is a refutation of the claim that the problem is the people.
The problem is never the people.
The people are everywhere.
The talent is everywhere.
The ambition is everywhere.
The capacity is everywhere.
What is not everywhere is the policy space, the institutional support, the geopolitical backing, the market access, and the freedom from externally imposed economic programs that systematically prevent the conversion of human capacity into collective industrial development.
The difference between a Ghanaian running a department at a London hospital and Ghana having a functioning public health system is not the Ghanaian.
It is everything around the Ghanaian.
It is with great pride that I present to you the very first Nigerian Adire chess board. Each one sells for a million naira(700 dollars).
It’s a limited collection of just 100 pieces. 50% of proceeds goes towards charity and I will personally hand deliver to the first 20 people.

Many chocolate manufacturers are reducing or eliminating real cocoa and cocoa butter to cut costs. They are using cheaper vegetable oils and artificial fats instead to create "compound" chocolate products that often contain more sugar and fillers.
This is where Nigerian and Ghanaian chocolate manufacturers get it right - using real cocoa beans and cocoa butter. I just need them to create varieties with little or no added sugar.
I am rooting for West Africa’s chocolate industry. I am excited about the shift from solely exporting raw cocoa beans to producing finished, bean-to-bar chocolate.
I created a new page where you can find videos of 2023 APC election violence. It’s important you listen, download and share the audio at the top of the page. Share it everywhere on WhatsApp.
A govt that kills its people does not deserve to rule us:

Wokinn is my favourite Chinese restaurant. The food is affordable (10-15k per person) and is really so good. They have two branches in lekki and in VI and they’re open every single day, 24/7. They deliver as well
