One thing that has always fascinated me is how some Nigerian men talk about pregnancy.

They have mothers who sold in the market throughout their pregnancies. They have wives who work until they go on maternity leave. They have sisters who raised toddlers while carrying another baby. They have seen women cook, clean, work, commute, and care for their families while pregnant.

Yet the moment they see a video of a pregnant white woman going to the gym, hiking, or simply being active, they suddenly act as if Nigerian women are lazy.

Where did this narrative come from? The women in your own life have been active through pregnancy for decades, so why are they invisible until it's time to compare them with someone else?

Maybe the issue isn't that Nigerian women are lazy, maybe you just hate your women so much you no longer see their strength.

This is what we’ve been saying, they employ people who are not fit for the job, how can the director general of National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control leave d companies where all these are produced & be chasing hawkers? Can’t you close down them companies ?

[Ossy Vincent @ossynoya]

Yup, for everyone that doesn’t allow the Nigerian police to harass them and they get shot or killed. This will be their defense now.

Before I was writing checks, I was braiding hair.

When I moved to the US as a student, braiding was how I paid my way through school. Hours in a chair, hands cramping, a full day gone for one client. I know this industry from the inside.

So when I saw that Yinka Ogunbiyi just raised $7M to commercialize HaloBraid, the world's first patented braid assist robot, I had to stop scrolling.

A few things stood out to me.

This is not a "replace the stylist" story. HaloBraid is built as a cobot. The human still parts the scalp, sections the hair and sets the foundation. The robot takes over the repetitive mid shaft weaving that eats up roughly 80% of a knotless braid appointment. Then the stylist finishes and styles the ends.

The demand is already proven. Over 7,000 salons are on the waitlist before this has even scaled.

And @sevensevensix, @alexisohanian firm, led the round, with @alley_corp and @blingcapital backing it too. Seeing investors I deeply respect put capital behind this tells me something: smart money is catching up to what millions of Black women and their braiders have known for decades. This industry is massive, physically brutal on the people who run it, and it has been overlooked for far too long.

Braiders develop carpal tunnel, arthritis and spinal strain from doing this for years. Almost nobody talks about that. A tool that cuts appointment time in half is not just a convenience play, it could add years to someone's career.

We keep hunting for disruption in the flashiest categories. Meanwhile, some of the most meaningful tech is quietly showing up in the "boring" service businesses that touch millions of people every single day.

What other "unsexy" industries do you think are next?

It’s when you have the 30m to do business in Nigeria that you will understand why others are traveling out instead

DIABETES COACHES HATE THIS.

5 SPICES THAT STABILIZE GLUCOSE WHILE YOU SNORE

1. Stop eating fruit after 6pm. Eat ½ teaspoon of ground fenugreek before bed - it forms a slow-release gel in your gut. Morning glucose spikes drop 30% by day 5.

2. Your pancreas gets tired from overnight sugar dumps. Cinnamon stick boiled for 3 minutes, sip the water - it mimics insulin activity at 2am.

3. One sniff of clove oil on your wrist - it temporarily desensitizes your liver's glucose alarm. Dawn phenomenon fades in 4 nights.

4. Eat ½ teaspoon of gymnema sylvestre with a sip of warm water. It temporarily blocks sweet taste receptors and reduces liver glucose output. HbAlc drops 0.5 points in 6 weeks.

5. If you wake up with dry mouth and a high reading, your nocturnal cortisol is spiking. Fenugreek + bitter melon powder together (½ tsp) quiet the adrenal release by midnight.
No more 3am sugar dump.

Started verifying wines with this app before adding them to my cellar, and it dawned on me that a lot of wines sold in Nigeria don’t even exist in wine databases. What exactly are we drinking in this country?

HOW TO GET GLOWING SKIN (WITHOUT SPENDING ON FACIALS):

[Mr. Thomas Shelby OBE @ibkzzle0]

The children of Nigerian politicians mostly lack the ACADEMIC GRIT required to enter those schools. I have taught some of them. Ex Presidents kids, Ex governors and even Senators.

While some of them are very brilliant, the kind of requirement to enter Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial College or UCL sometimes includes things like
1. Minimum 3 A*s in A-Levels.
2. These IvY league schools also have ratings for A-levels schools, ifnyou child is in a tier C A-level school without pedigree best believe they won't give admission.
3. These schools require you to write a seminar style statement of intent highlighting a problem you intend to solve with the education you are seeking in their school. They believe that they are not just admitting you to come and earn certificate. They want to raise a global leadership candidate.
Most Nigerian politician kids don't have the depth to write and pass this phase of the admission process.

THIS IS WHY THEY GO TO LESS PRESTIGOUS SHOOLS

A man who stopped the scholarship payments of Rivers students in the uk while he was governor, is today celebrating the graduation of his own daughter from a university in the same Uk.

Nigerian politicians are satanic animals. A heartless godless bunch of vile depraved animals.

[nommy @callmenommiee]

I applied to change my daughter’s name on her British passport. They said I’d have to change it on her Nigerian passport first.
I submitted a complaint asking them to share the policy that requires this. They approved the application immediately. Nonsense. Mtchew.
