With support from @pulitzercenter
I investigated Nigeria's "blood gold," a violent, hidden economy of mining and trade that fuels terrorism across the Sahel.

You've heard that terrorists mine gold in Nigeria. Yes?
What you haven't heard is how they evade security forces, how the gold moves through hidden networks and across borders, and how it is converted into money and weapons that sustain their operations.

Seems Nigeria's foreign/visa policy has been rather combative rather than collaborative and solution-oriented under @YusufTuggar.

At the end of the day, government officials don't bear the burden of terrible passport quality. It's ordinary Nigerians who pay the price.

Across Nigeria’s shea-producing belt, a government ban on shea nut exports has driven prices down, disrupted long-established trade, and left women collectors and small traders absorbing the losses. Interviews with stakeholders confirmed that a policy meant to support domestic processing has instead squeezed rural livelihoods at the base of the supply chain.

All the anger should be directed at the government. Once you start painting one ethnic group in brush strokes, you've lost the plot. There are bad and good people everywhere. It's the govt's job to find the bad ones and protect civilians. We must hold it accountable to this.

['Kúnlé 🧩 @KunleAdebajo]

Thank you so much @TheMFWA for this big honour! My gratitude is bottomless.

And thanks to @HumAngle_ and @IWPR, without whom the report would not have come to light, especially in the form that it did. 💙

A Nigerian fintech raised $300k, scaled to 20,000 businesses… and still lost it all. How?

After reading the inspiring but sad story told to Zikoko, I realised a hard truth about tech businesses.

…the CBN Consumer Protection Framework, and of course, the NDPA.

In fintech, and in other tech businesses, compliance isn’t a cost of doing business. IT IS THE BUSINESS. It’s the only thing standing btw building something that lasts and becoming another cautionary tale.

[A @AbdullahAtijani]

In May, headlines claimed the Nigerian government had banned all foreign imports. But that was misleading.

The “Nigeria First” policy only applies to government institutions.
