Shortly after the release of @westafricaweek's latest investigative report 'America's Covert War On African Journalism,' I spoke to Mike Okwoche on RT about the rationale behind the story and why I think stories like this are very important at this specific point in history.
And yes, that's a Palestinian keffiyeh around my neck.
After hundreds of thousands - if not millions of mortality and sick Nigerians, @NafdacAgency finally bans and updates their list of banned pesticides in Nigeria.
It took plenty dragging from organizations like @AAonPesticideNg to get NAFDAC to update this list on their website. The lethargic attitude of @NafdacAgency towards the safety of Nigerians must now be really looked into. For instance, in 2023, you said Atrazine was bad, and banned it to take effect from Jan 1, 2025, and eventually update your list of banned chemicals August 2025, so much so that we calling it a BIG WIN, because you finally woke up from slumber and did your work?
Anyways, let me post a few of what these banned chemicals can do:
- Paraquat Dichloride
Extremely toxic; ingestion causes lung fibrosis, kidney/liver failure, death (even small amounts). Linked to Parkinson's (oxidative stress on brain cells), endocrine disruption. Environmentally harms aquatic life, persists in soil.
- Carbofuran
Carbamate; high acute toxicity (cholinesterase inhibitor), neurotoxic (headaches, nausea, death). Mimics melatonin, linked to diabetes, Parkinson's. Toxic to birds/bees
- Chlorpyrifos
Organophosphate; cholinesterase inhibitor, acute: nausea, headaches; chronic: developmental neurotoxicity in children, linked to Parkinson's. Harms wildlife
etc
There is a HEALTHY Nigerian alternative - made of actual cocoa and nothing else. It's Oluji Cocoa. I still drink it till today.
Apart from Orógbó, that's the only other thing I ask people to bring me from Nigeria.
I keep saying that Africa is at war, and it's unfortunate that many are not aware. Your very existence infuriates these people, and yet we still collect aids, handouts; walk them through our palaces, theatres, boardrooms and parliaments.
How do you pack sugar and sodium in massive quantity for kids?
@NafdacAgency when will you wakeup and protect your people?!

Trump is attempting to manufacture consent for an oil war in Venezuela by claiming that Nicolas Maduro is a "narco-president."
Concurrently, his administration is actively protecting a real narco-president in US federal court right now. Quelle surprise...
A Jamaican illegal in the US was recently found to be working as a police officer, and this I'm story is more significant than you would give it credit for at first glance.
Spoiler alert: Imperial overstretch.

The Premier League Returns; Football is back💥
“As twilight spills its golden ink across the sceptered isle, the Premier League awakens, a colossus stirring from its summer slumber. Tonight, the floodlights blaze, casting their celestial glow upon the hallowed green, where twenty tribes converge to weave a tapestry of triumph and tribulation”
“The curtain rises on a new season, and the air trembles with the weight of possibilities”
Here was how I heralded the return of the @premierleague live on 99.3 @NigeriainfoFM@FATGofficial

Bill Gates is in the news again for another expedition in the Global South.
As usual, it is exploitative, extractive and dishonest but this time, it also comes with a unique side of permanent infertility and potential brain tumour.
@IconicSteam1 Hi, i need help getting a paypal acct, been asking around but nobody seems to outright answer, i even paid for one but was not successful with registration
I honestly would like to thank you for this post for the term 'Debate Worthy'.
The first time I spoke with Gloria, the Head of Communications of Nigeria's Biosafety Agency, I asked her to convince me GMOs were good, and I will market it. I tell people, if you can convince me, and answer all my questions, I will change my current position on any topic. It's an open call to debate.
These are the 7 questions I asked @PeakMilk and once they answer satisfactorily and it satisfies the argument that justifies Fluoride in products, I will promote their product.
1) Where is the Fluoride in the small sachet and refill packs of powdered milk coming from? These are the most widely consumed products.
2) If the Fluoride is naturally occurring, why is it absent in the evaporated milk but present in the powdered milk?
3) What type of Fluoride is in the powdered milk?
Naturally occurring fluoride is Calcium Fluoride (CaF₂), which is considered the least toxic due to its poor solubility in water.
However, the more common forms found in processed products are Sodium Fluoride (NaF), Sodium Fluorosilicate (Na₂SiF₆), and Hydrofluosilicic Acid (H₂SiF₆)—all of which are highly soluble and more toxic.
Which of these is present in Peak Milk?
4) Who determines how much Fluoride we should ingest?
5) Who decided that milk should be the delivery medium for extra Fluoride?
6) And why don’t we see Fluoride listed in other foods or beverages, including some of theirs?
7) Lastly, when exactly was Fluoride added to the composition list?
