Don't they know that people are already frustrated enough? Nigerians can't keep enduring oppression from the top, Whether it's bad governance or elite corruption, and then face the same nonsense at the grassroots level from everyday hustlers and small-time oppressors. Everyone's just looking for someone to vent their anger on, and it's boiling over into chaos.
Abeggi. If not for unfortunate perverts, these things don't have the meanings you read to them. On my way to Lagos from Ekiti, I bought locust beans worth about 6k because I have many people to give. Being the woman’s first sale, she kept saying Oko mi, ose, aye re a ladun. Imagine me thinking she meant oko mi literally
My uncle lives in Lagos but doesn’t eat fish sold locally. He calls his driver in London to buy fish there, have it delivered to the airport the same day, and sent to Lagos so he can have it for breakfast by 8:45 a.m. the next morning.” — Forex expert Dapo Wills
Update: 🚨🚨🚨
We wish to inform the general public that Hon. Toke Benson has officially received our petition regarding the cultural appropriation of Yoruba Adiirẹ, and she has assured us that the matter will be duly addressed by her office. We urge all Yoruba sons and daughters to exercise patience, remain vigilant, and allow due process to take its course. This marks an important precedence, showing why we must never relent in protecting and preserving our cultural heritage for generations yet unborn.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all supporters, and to everyone who called upon TYF to take decisive action. Your trust in us as an institution is deeply appreciated, and we assure you that we will not let you down.
We also acknowledge every Yoruba and our allies who raised their voices in unity to ensure that our heritage is not hijacked, ridiculed, or diminished by individuals of questionable character. We trust that the Lagos State Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (@LagostourismO) will carry out its due diligence and resolve this issue appropriately. We further hope that Ms. Uzo Njoku will learn from this experience and apply the very advice she once gave to others: “Respect the culture and values when the owners of the culture tell you that you are wrong.”
It is particularly disheartening that Ms. Njoku scheduled her exhibition to coincide with the Lagos State–planned Yoruba Week. This act undermines and stains a week designed to showcase Yoruba civilization to an international audience. Such interference is not only disrespectful but a mockery of a cultural celebration meant to highlight the greatness of the Yoruba people.
We are not opposed to global inspiration drawn from our rich and enviable intangible heritage, one that has been unparalleled and comparable only to that of the great ancient Egypt. However, we demand full respect, recognition, and honor for the Yoruba race, the rightful innovators and custodians of these traditions.
We are Yoruba. We are Ògó Aduláwọ̀—the glory and pride of the Black race. Every nation may imitate us, but they must also respect us, acknowledge us, and recognize our rightful place on the world stage.
Sincerely,
Bukola O. Adeniji, MD, MPH, FAAFP

You also don’t need to use a third party to incorporate in the UK. The only time they’re useful is if you don’t have a UK address and want to use their registered office/address service.
This isn’t the Companies House website, it’s a 3rd party formation provider who have their own internal eligibility criteria. CH doesn’t have such and you can incorporate a company regardless of where you’re domiciled and your nationality.
You guys, fooling is paying, it is paying in thousands of dollars. It is paying like mad, people are making bastard money from fooling on the internet.
If you are not too shy, find a way to fool and be consistent at fooling.
