I’m a Nigerian wildlife photographer, and every one of these photographs was captured by me, right here in Nigeria. 🇳🇬📸
Through my lens, I hope to show you the beauty, diversity, and wonder of our wildlife—and remind us that these animals are part of our natural heritage.
I hope these images inspire you to appreciate Nigerian wildlife, learn more about the animals we share our country with, and, most importantly, protect them for generations to come.
Nigeria’s wildlife is worth seeing.
Nigeria’s wildlife is worth protecting. ❤️🇳🇬

This is what the 227kg of freshly harvested ginger looks like.
Just look at it.
Fresh.
Healthy.
Clean.
This isn’t just any ginger.
It’s Kaduna ginger.
So yes…
It looks beautiful.
But don’t let the good looks fool you. 😂
But it’s also very, very spicy.
If you’ve been waiting to buy fresh ginger directly from the farm, this is your chance.
I’m giving my X family first access before I message my regular customers.
First come.
First served.
If you want the entire harvest, my DM is open.
If you only need a small quantity, that’s fine too.
We’ll package it properly and ship it to your address.
Don’t forget this is the most sought after ginger in the world.
The best ginger doesn’t stay available for long.
This is exactly why I keep saying ginger is one of the biggest money-makers in agriculture.
We just finished harvesting the affected section of our ginger farm.
Guess how much came out?
227kg.
And here’s the crazy part…
The area we harvested isn’t even up to a quarter of a plot.
Once it’s properly bagged, that’s roughly 3 & half bags of ginger from such a very small piece of land.
This is why, when I said you can turn ₦4 million into ₦12 million in 6 months with ginger, I wasn’t trying to hype anyone up.
I wasn’t trying to convince anybody to plant ginger.
I was simply telling you what I’ve seen with my own eyes.
The numbers are real.
Now pause for a second.
If less than a quarter of a plot can produce 227kg…
Imagine what a full plot can do.
Then imagine an acre.
That’s the part most people struggle to wrap their heads around.
Ginger is one of the few crops in Africa where a tiny piece of land can produce numbers that don’t even sound believable…
Until you witness it yourself.
Small land. Massive output. That’s why I can never underestimate ginger.
There is a difference between inspiration and appropriation and we should be intellectually honest enough to recognize it.
This becomes even more important when the subject matter itself is deeply rooted in cultural representation such as the celebration and visual storytelling of Yoruba women, their elegance, identity, and lived symbolism. When an original artist like @wydysta has already established a clear conceptual language around this theme, it deserves recognition within any subsequent work that draws from the same visual and cultural well.
Celebrating a work while ignoring the striking conceptual precedent set by @wydysta does a disservice not only to the original artist, but to the integrity of Nigerian creative expression itself.
Artists inevitably influence one another. But influence should produce transformation, dialogue and new meaning, not the reproduction of another artist’s distinctive concept or cultural framing without proper acknowledgement.
And platforms that curate and celebrate art have an equal responsibility: credit, context and provenance matter. Visibility should never come at the expense of the person whose imagination laid the groundwork.
@NoteSphere, do better.
And to the artist involved: originality is not merely about execution; it is also about intellectual honesty and cultural responsibility.
Give @wydysta the acknowledgement they deserve.
Nigerian creativity deserves celebration. Nigerian creators deserve protection too.
A billionaire once shared this advice:
“When you start making money, focus on these priorities before chasing a more expensive life style.”
The list shocked me to my core:
Did you know? The guy portrayed jumping in this picture was actually a real Nigerian. His actions contributed to the events that led to the Biafran War and even though he fought on the side of Biafra, Lt. Col. Ojukwu ordered his killing.
He's Emmanuel Ifeajuna. He was the first Black African to win a gold medal at an international sports event when he won at the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games.
He later joined the army and participated in the first Nigerian coup in 1966. He was the one that personally killed Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, his boss (Brigadier Zakariya Maimalari) and Lt. Col. Abogo Largema.
Because most of the top ranking Northern politicians and military officers were killed in this coup and Aguiyi-Ironsi became the Head of State, Northern officers staged a counter coup that killed Ironsi, six months later. Many Igbo officers were killed too and some Igbo civilians were killed and attacked in the North. This led to Ojukwu asking Igbos to come back to Biafra and the struggle for secession began.
To cut the story short, the war started and of course, Ifeajuna fought on the Biafran side. Sometime during the war, it became obvious that the Nigerian forces were winning. Ifeajuna and others started negotiating a ceasefire with Nigeria through British contact. In his words, he said he was doing this to save thousands of civilian lives and end the war early. Ojukwu got to know about it and Ifeajuna, alongside three others, were arrested. He was summarily tried and sentenced to death by firing squad.
Before he was shot, he reportedly said "You may kill me now, but it is too late. I'm sorry for you all because it won't be long before they get all of you.."
What he said came to pass. Enugu, the Biafran capital, was captured by the Nigerian forces, just two days after he was killed.
ACTIVATE YOUR STAR AND RESTORE LOST GLORY
Sometimes life becomes slow, favor disappears, and things no longer work the way they used to not because you are weak, but because your star needs spiritual alignment
Signs your body needs something + what to actually eat.
1. Cold hands, hair thinning → low iron.
🌿 Ẹ̀dọ̀ (liver) and beans (ewa) are more bioavailable than a pill
2. No appetite → low zinc.
🌿 Ẹgúṣí seeds and dried fish
3. Dry eyes, dry skin → low vitamin A.
🌿 Ẹ̀fọ́ (leafy greens) and epo pupa (red palm oil); some of the densest carotenoid sources that exist
4. Leg cramps, poor sleep → low magnesium.
🌿 Ẹpa (groundnuts)
5. Brain fog, forgetfulness → low B12.
🌿 Crayfish and dried fish are the fix, not a multivitamin
6. Muscle weakness → low potassium.
🌿 Ọ̀gẹ̀dẹ̀ (plantain), has higher potassium per serving than a banana
Every deficiency on these lists has always had a food name attached to it.
Somewhere between the farm and the pharmacy aisle, we started treating the symptom and forgetting the ingredient.
@DedayoRoots
A guy resigned from his job last month.
His manager tried 4 different tactics to keep him. He said no to all of them. Then the MD called personally with a 5th.
What happened next is why he is glad he documented everything.
I don't understand how this is even possible.
- I witnessed the deaths of Michael Jackson,Maradona, Pelé, and Queen Elizabeth!
- I lived through three different popes.
- I survived a global pandemic, and watched the internet come to life.
- I saw CDs become Spotify, DVDs become Netflix, and landlines become iPhones and now, I'm witnessing the rise of artificial intelligence.
AND I’M JUST IN MY EARLY 30s.
