In my latest piece for @newlinesmag , I explored the intersection of medicinal plants, climate change, development and socio-cultural issues.
Thanks to @RashaElass for giving insights.

@MuduwaKerra You think the govt that doesn't care about citizens will care about wildlife? It costs a lot to do agriculture, farmers should use whatever means necessary to protect their crops.
Nobody said Pastor Adeboye is responsible for Nigeria's problems
Nigerians are saying Pastor Adeboye is a hypocrite and an enabler of bad governance & supporter of corrupt politicians
Ibadan protest !
This lady was once abduct£d on the Benin-Ore road so she can relate to what the kids and teachers are going through in the forest right now. She revealed that she was badly be@t£n in the forest and almost gr@p£d💔💔💔
This morning, I did a 290km Road trip, crossing the US/Canada border to drop off a family friend who visited us over the weekend. We left the house by 3am. I didn't have to fast and pray before embarking on that journey.
In Nigeria, I did a lot of road trips in 2011/12/13/14. Things weren't so bad then. Unfortunately, driving from Enugu to Benin, and then to Calabar, is something I’d dare not do at the moment. We deserve better.
A teacher was kidnapped from the school he teaches at and beheaded on live video. But other teachers went to work the next day.
Nigeria is cursed. With absolutely selfish self centered ignominious citizens.
Heavy rain started falling in Oyo State from 1am till around past 4:30a.m
If the same intense downpour happened where the kidnapped students and teachers are currently being held, it means they’ve been exposed to that heavy rain for over three hours straight.
That also means the 2 year old child was also soaked and helpless under the merciless rain. God, please have mercy. 💔💔
Not a time to share a joke, promote entertainment or campaign!!!! People died, people are dying not from natural causes but TERRORISM AND BANDITRY… We cannot let this abnormality become our normal in Naija… The country is BLEEDING
Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.
Do you know how children and wife and family of this man will feel when they see that video
Seeing your family killed on video while you are powerless to do anything is one of the highest pain
We must act fast before things get worse
We are Yoruba people we are omoluabi
Wake up my people war is here

@taadelodun The issue is that an average black man does not understand the concept of collective ownership. Everyone takes pride in saying it's my own but forgetting how real wealth is grown
This is hilarious! It reminds me of the Late Dr. Emmanuel Ijewere in 2004. We were trying to buy a company selling telco airtime where he was Chairman and the numbers didn’t look good. He liked me for some reason (maybe because we always met in church at Falomo) and decided to discourage us from buying.
After some talking, he told us to forget the business and took us to the back of his house in Ikoyi. He got a bowl, dipped his hand and threw some food into the concrete ponds they created behind and fish came swarming up to eat.
He said - “This is 4 million Naira from my backyard each harvest. This is how I pay for the school fees of my kids. This is the business you should be into.”
I once again remembered what Chief Ibru told me. “Go and sell fish, everyone eats fish.” Dr. Ijewere later expanded his pond into a large and profitable farm that still exists today in the Lagos/Epe axis.
Very few people in Nigeria tell you the true source of their wealth. Even those her friends selling wine would have their own secrets they hide from her.
