I’ve been reading about the annual Gaani equestrian festival in the Benin Republic city of Nikki.

Nikki is the capital of the ancient Borgu Confederacy, peopled by the Bariba.

They’re the ethnicity the Yoruba call Ibariba or Ibaruba. We also call the name of their capital Liki.

In 1981, Gov @AAdeleke_01's father (and @davido's grandfather), Sen Ayoola Adeleke, was Vice Chairman of the Committee for the Creation of Osun State

Here's a clip I just found from the Daily Sketch newspaper, March 2, 1981

The creation finally came 10 years later: 27 Aug 1991

No rain fell in Rasuwa in Nepal this morning. The river still rose and swept away everything in its path. Here is why.

At 8.37 this morning, near the Nepal and China border, instruments picked up strong shaking. Early reports called it an earthquake of magnitude 4.4. The United States Geological Survey has now corrected that. There was no earthquake.

A huge block of ice and rock broke off a mountain and crashed into the valley. The impact was so heavy that it registered like an earthquake of magnitude 5.2. The landslide made the shaking. The shaking did not make the landslide.

That ice and rock fell straight into the Lhende Khola, a small stream that feeds the Bhote Koshi river. It blocked the stream fully and made a wall of ice, rock and mud across it.

The water behind that wall kept rising. Then the wall broke.

What came down was not water. It was mud, boulders and ice moving together. Video from the Rasuwagadhi border post shows the whole crossing vanish in under a minute. Timure and Syafrubesi were hit next. The surge then reached Bidur in Nuwakot and went on to Devghat, more than 100 kilometres downstream.

Police in Bagmati province have confirmed at least 95 dead in Nepal. China has confirmed 3 dead in Tibet with 265 missing there. The Nepal Tourism Board says nearly 400 travellers are missing, including 105 Indians and 37 people of Indian origin, many of them returning from the Kailash Mansarovar route. About 430 megawatts of power generation has been damaged. Bihar has put its districts along the Gandak on alert.

Now the part that matters for anyone living below a Himalayan river.

The same stream did the same thing 14 months ago. On the 8th of July 2025 the Bhote Koshi flooded with no rain. Nepal found that a glacial lake in Tibet had drained in a few hours. Scientists had already marked this basin as one of the most dangerous in the Himalaya for such floods.

These floods give no warning. No rain, no cloud, no alert, because the weather is not what causes them. Ice that stayed frozen for thousands of years is now loose enough to fall.

So remember this. If you are near a mountain river and the water suddenly drops for no reason, or you hear a low roar from upstream, do not stand and film it. That is a blockage forming or breaking. Move up the slope, away from the river, at once. Do not run along the bank. The water is faster than you.

Clear weather is no longer proof that a Himalayan river is safe.

You look at this footage (from the disaster in Nepal) and think "well at least you're ok if you're on the bridge.."

Spent a refreshing week in Kayuputih. It is a quiet mountain village in north Bali

stayed in a gorgeous cottage overlooking rice fields. They are built in a traditional style called bale lumbung. Lumbung is historically a rice barn farmers use to store their grain after harvest

Yoruba Express. I visited a village called Kenta Sokan in Ogun State. It was my first time of seeing leaf farming. The old man lectured me about the leaf and some trees nearby.

As you read this, BUK final-year student Maryam Isah Shehu is STILL inside Suleja Correctional Centre.
She missed her final exams on Saturday. Why? Because after the @officialEFCC used public pressure to perform "leniency" and drop charges, bureaucratic games kept her behind bars. 👇

[Kessington Orhorhoro @kessokpala]

Be accountable for once @PoliceNG, we will not let this matter slide.

A car belonging to one @RbrnJerry was stolen but later recovered by the police, the owner identified the car after the recovery and was requested to pay a particular sum of money which he paid.

Only at the time which he was supposed to take possession of the car, he was informed that the car had been sold by some police men right in the police station.

This matter deserves the attention it needs, we must not keep quiet at the face of this injustice.

Remember, today may be Mr. Oguji Jeremiah Onyebuchi, tomorrow it may be you or me.

Let's help a brother to get justice, this must not be allowed.

Repost, quote and tag the necessary authorities until justice is served.

After making the complaint public yesterday, having personally witnessed the egregious violation of the rights of two young Nigerians including Bayero University Kano (BUK) student Maryam Isah Shehu, the @officialEFCC has now terminated the charges against them.

Unfortunately, the Federal High Court judge who sat yesterday and remanded them in Kuje and Suleja prisons respectively has not sat all day today, so their release is still being delayed.

We are glad that wisdom finally prevailed at the @officialEFCC

We must also thank Deji Adeyanju, @adeyanjudeji who, despite being on vacation in Paris, weighed in heavily; human rights attorneys @Abbahikima and Hamza N Dantani; and all the lawyers on the ground, particularly Chimela, Esq who have not rested all day, working tirelessly on the necessary paperwork to secure their freedom.

I was also informed that the leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students (@NANSNIG was at the Federal High Court today to lend its support and help secure Maryam’s freedom. Their solidarity is greatly appreciated.

We sincerely hope that Justice Joyce Abdulmalik will still show up and sit, even briefly, today so that Maryam can regain her freedom and commence her final examinations tomorrow.

If that does not happen in time, we urge the authorities of Bayero University Kano @BUK_Nigeria to take special notice of the extraordinary circumstances surrounding her detention and ensure that she is given the opportunity to rewrite any examinations she misses as a direct consequence of her detention.

An injustice against one is an injustice against all.

No one shall be left behind!
