The gut microbiome is the frontier of modern medicine.
Researchers now link gut bacteria diversity to:
- Immune function
- Mental health (the gut-brain axis)
- Metabolic health
- Autoimmune conditions
- Even cancer treatment response
The West African food system had a complete microbiome maintenance protocol.
Before anyone knew what the microbiome was.
Prebiotics: Tiger nuts (Ofio), baobab, plantain
Probiotics: Iru (fermented locust beans), ogiri, fermented porridges
Antimicrobials (to keep balance): Scent leaf, garlic, cloves
Fiber diversity: Ewedu, bitter leaf, utazi, uziza
This wasn't a gut health supplement stack.
It was Tuesday dinner.
The most cutting-edge area of medical research confirms what West African grandmothers practiced daily.
They just called it food.
Ahab is building highway.
Jezebel is telling people to start selling akara and roasted corn by the roadside.
The most heartless satanic couple to ever lead Nigeria.
Reminder that profoundly disabled women are deliberately targeted for rape and sexual abuse because they are less able to fight back or reveal their abuser, and have abnormally high rates of pregnancies given their conditions due to rape.
Ignoring this reality in all your abortion conversations is hideously cruel.
Bringing a child to the world to suffer this kind of fate is very wicked.
"If you're not smart, don't come on Twitter"
These people literally exist here as "thought leaders".
#Olodocore: Twitter edition.

Algorithms Are Colonising African Youths
Nigerian historian Iyo Obietonbara argues that social media algorithms are a tool of colonialism, influencing what African youths consider valuable. Instead of building organisations to struggle for liberation, many of our young people are making videos about trivial matters.

Abortion is healthcare. This poor baby was raped by a Nigerian man and still had to carry this baby to term in her condition. The whole system failed her. This is terrible.
Back in 2022, after my video about my ordeal at the hands of the EFCC went viral, someone in law enforcement called me and said, "This thing you're doing will get you in trouble o. Why not do what every other person is doing? You can make comedy or find a way to entertain people. Must you talk about the government? These people are powerful o."
Nigerians, we need to remind these people that we are powerful. We are running out of time.
#olodocore Nigerian Governors edition.
From top to bottom, led by the very dregs of the society.
On this list - we have exconvicts, a governor who pays workers in his justice department 10K naira, wheelbarrows for empowerment.
Executive olodos, His mumulencies.🙌🏾
Flying Toke Makinwa and over 1,400 useless delegates to Dubai was apparently affordable.
But sponsoring a few of Nigeria's brightest minds to China to represent the country at an international mathematics competition was not.💔
Fvcking retards!
