Man...I can't believe how Africans have to fight for what is theirs. I knew it in theory. But seeing Niger go through this brings this reality to a whole new level. The fight is literally a fight. With guts and guns.
@kfayemi@Kennedy_School Economic potential you said? You served as minister for solid minerals & mining, a critical sector of the Nigerian economy. First, educate us on your legacy impacts there, and even as a former state governor, please. Then we can have the strong urge to read your paper.
The Lagos State "seafood" market is poorly regulated. The hammerhead shark is a protected specie. They also have high levels of mercury and natural ammonia, which makes them toxic for human consumption.
We also have a Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, watching while unregulated fishing ruins our marine biology.
Under the Endangered Species Conservation and Protection Bill 2025, this guy should get a fine of 12m Naira or 10 years' imprisonment.

The banana in your kitchen is a sterile mutant that can't reproduce. Every single one is a clone, and nearly the entire global export supply traces back to one plant raised in an English greenhouse in the 1830s.
Wild bananas are stuffed with hard seeds the size of peppercorns. Barely any flesh. Around 7,000 years ago, farmers in New Guinea stumbled on rare mutants carrying three sets of chromosomes instead of two. An odd number can't split evenly during reproduction, so seed-making fails and the plant pours everything into flesh. Those tiny black specks in the middle of your banana are the remains of seeds that never developed.
Perfect fruit, one catch. No seeds means no planting. Growing another one requires cutting a shoot off the base and sticking it in the ground.
A clone.
Back in the 1830s, the Duke of Devonshire's gardener raised one of these plants at Chatsworth House. His family name was Cavendish. Cuttings descended from that greenhouse now make up 99% of bananas exported on Earth, genetically identical from Ecuador to the Philippines.
Identical genes means a fungus that kills one plant kills all of them. And it already happened. Gros Michel, the banana everyone ate before 1960, was wiped out commercially by a soil fungus called Panama disease. The industry quietly swapped in the Cavendish, a lookalike that resisted it, and most shoppers never noticed their banana had been replaced.
A new strain called TR4 kills Cavendish too. No cure exists, the spores survive in soil for decades, and it has spread to more than 20 countries. Late 2025 it reached Ecuador, the world's biggest exporter.
The world already lost its banana once and got handed a body double. The body double is dying the same way.
A self made billionaire is putting himself on the line to save your ass.
You that is below the poverty line is thinking you are doing him a favour.
YOUR LOSS!!!
I was there!! One of the worst experience of my life and why I made this tweet: https://t.co/KM9u9pq573
I went to watch “Odyssey” at IMAX Filmhouse Cinema, Lekki, yesterday! The movie started at 10pm and ended around 2am in the morning! Immediately I came out, there was a huge crowd outside with blood everywhere! A guy came into the place and stabbed two security men! One in the chest and the other in the back! It was crazy!!! I had to use my car to take them to the hospital and sadly, one of the security men died! And we heard the guy who did the stabbing also died back at the cinema!
It was one of the worst scenes I have ever seen!
The last time I saw something like this was back in school! I had to stay back in my car and cry for hours!!

Met a family that has been traveling full time for 8 years. Now the thing is, they have 3 kids. The kids are great vibes. The mother and I got talking and I asked some questions and we talked about school. This is where it got interesting
